Unifying Agile Collaboration and Digital Experiences with Liferay DXP and Camunda Agentic Orchestration

Key Takeaways

• Automation without fragmentation. Many organizations are “almost” automated but stuck with fragile, siloed workflows. Liferay and Camunda unify front-end experiences and back-end orchestration so processes finally flow end-to-end.

• AI that actually works. Generative AI pilots often stall because they’re disconnected from core processes. With Camunda’s agentic orchestration and Liferay’s DXP, AI gets embedded into governed, scalable workflows that deliver real business value.

• Agility at enterprise scale. The partnership blends low-code/no-code with enterprise-grade orchestration, so teams can move faster, adapt to change, and ship new solutions without piling on technical debt.

• Better experiences for everyone. Customers, partners, and employees feel the difference: personalized digital journeys powered by Liferay on the surface, with Camunda ensuring every process behind the scenes is seamless, compliant, and efficient.

The Roadblock: “Almost” Automated, Yet Still Fragmented

In a world where technology spins faster by the minute, IT leaders face many challenges: they need to spearhead rapid digital transformation, meet evolving customer expectations, and drive innovation, figuring out how to turn promising AI pilots into real, governed business value, all while navigating complex digital infrastructures and battling operational silos. It's a continuous balancing act of efficiency, agility, and strategic growth.

Many organizations have invested heavily in automation, but full end-to-end process automation often feels just out of reach. What you end up with are fragmented digital journeys: workflows stuck in their own lanes, inefficient collaboration, and operational silos due to disparate systems that barely speak to each other. On top of that, connecting with external stakeholders like partners, suppliers, and customers increases the level of difficulty and often, results in slow processes, poor customer experiences, and increased operational costs – making it nearly impossible to demonstrate clear ROI on technology investments, including AI initiatives, which often stall because generative-AI agents are disconnected from core processes. Without end-to-end orchestration, local automations create brittle silos that actually slow innovation.

The Solution: Agile Collaboration Through Intelligent Automation

That's why we're excited to announce a strategic partnership between Liferay and Camunda. This collaboration brings together Liferay's leading Digital Experience Platform (DXP) with Camunda's enterprise-grade agentic process orchestration platform, built on open standards (BPMN & DMN), and powered by Camunda’s engine Zeebe for cloud-native scale. Together, they empower businesses to overcome fragmentation, operationalize AI, and deliver truly agile collaboration with outstanding digital experiences.

This isn't just another integration; it's a unified, governed, composable, open, and scalable approach designed to reshape how your organization operates and interacts, bridging the critical gap between front-end digital experiences and back-end operational processes.

How Our Unified Platform Delivers Value to IT Leaders

1. Break down silos and unify processes: At the core, our platform unifies internal operations with external engagement. Imagine seamlessly extending your critical business processes to include partners, suppliers, and customers. Liferay provides the intuitive, personalized digital touchpoints, while Camunda orchestrates the underlying workflows, ensuring smooth, efficient interactions across your entire ecosystem. This eliminates frustrating disconnects, enhances overall operational efficiency, and solves the difficulty of connecting with external stakeholders. Plus, withs native connectors available through Camunda Marketplace, you get direct access to Liferay information and updates from within Camunda Modeler, streamlining data flow with a low-code UI, while staying fully extensible in code. Just point, click, and go.
    

2. Accelerate digital transformation and drive agility: We understand that speed matters. By blending powerful process automation with dynamic digital experiences, we empower your teams to spot bottlenecks, simplify complex workflows and automate manual tasks. This gives you real-time visibility into processes and creates an environment that allows your organization to adapt quickly to changing market demands. According to Camunda’s 2025 State of Process Orchestration report, organizations with orchestrated automation are 4x more likely to improve business agility and 2x more likely to reduce operational costs. The partnership between Liferay and Camunda also enables rapid application development, combining Liferay's front-end and Camunda's back-end low-code process design and AI enablement capabilities for faster time-to-market.
    

3. Democratize innovation with low-code: Innovation shouldn't be confined to developers. Our partnership significantly empowers your business users with powerful low-code capabilities that allow non-technical teams to actively participate in designing, modifying, and improving both digital experiences and business processes. They become co-pilots in your organization’s digital transformation, accelerating innovation as well as time-to-value and reducing reliance on IT for every change, all while maintaining control and governance. 
    

4. Enhancing customer and partner experiences: At the end of the day, it’s all about great experiences. Liferay DXP allows you to craft context-aware customer journeys that adapt to individual needs, increasing loyalty and satisfaction. When combined with Camunda's agentic orchestration, these experiences become truly seamless and intelligent, driven by efficient back-end processes. As Linda Hartman, Vice President of Partnerships at Liferay, points out, this collaboration lets companies craft, launch, and keep tabs on even the most intricate workflows. Think of it as giving your teams a live dashboard into every step, so you can pivot on a dime. Plus, by arming business users with low-code tools, you’re turning everyone into a workflow innovator. All processes run on Camunda’s Zeebe, which tracks every instance end-to-end – not just single tasks. Camunda’s optional agentic-AI copilot can automatically classify each incoming request and suggest the next best action, pushing the case to the right workflow step and speeding resolution autonomously. On top of that, our API-first design stitches together your broader ecosystem: event-streaming backbone ensures systems chat to each other effortlessly, data flows smoothly, and your end-to-end automation just hums.
