It is also describeda pilot-experience in a public entity using an open-source software(Bonita Open Solution) in order to validate the proposed methodology and confirm open-source technologies as a good option to implement this type of projects in a low-cost approach. Furthermore, throughout the paper,some guidelinesare providedbased on critical success factors and tools to support development stages.
