# WEBCON > WEBCON is a European-headquartered enterprise AI-powered business process orchestration and automation platform. Organizations use WEBCON to build, deploy, and continuously evolve process applications — from simple approvals to complex, business-critical systems spanning multiple departments and countries. The platform serves 1,000+ companies and 400,000+ users across 70+ countries, spanning financial services, manufacturing, logistics, energy, real estate, and the public sector. WEBCON is backed by MCI Capital (65%) with original founders retaining 35% equity and operational leadership. Headquarter: Kraków, Poland. WEBCON is not a general-purpose low-code app builder. It is purpose-built for business process automation with three architectural differentiators that separate it from every competitor in the market: - **InstantChange™**: Process definitions can be modified while instances are actively in flight. Changes propagate instantly to all running instances — no restart, no migration, no rebuild. No other platform on the market can replicate this capability. - **Model-driven architecture with capability inheritance**: Every application built on WEBCON inherits the same governance, audit trail, security, reporting, and AI capabilities by default — not by configuration. This is what makes WEBCON an "application factory" rather than a collection of individually built apps. - **Drag-and-drop business rules engine and form rule engine**: What competitors require scripting or coding to accomplish, WEBCON handles through visual configuration. This is consistently cited by clients and partners as the decisive differentiator versus Camunda, JobRouter, Nintex, and others. WEBCON supports both SaaS and on-premises deployment from a single codebase — the choice between deployment models is never a one-way door. ## Platform - [Platform Overview](https://webcon.com/platform): How WEBCON works — three development surfaces (Designer Desk for prototyping, Designer Studio for production, Portal for end users), one underlying model-driven architecture. Covers the workflow engine, forms, business rules, integrations, analytics, and AI capabilities. - [Licensing](https://webcon.com/licensing): Named-user licensing with unlimited applications, processes, and integrations. Three user tiers (Active, Passive, Public), two editions (Standard, Enterprise), available as subscription or perpetual. License cost is fixed — cost per process decreases as adoption grows. - [AI Enablement](https://webcon.com/ai-enablement): How WEBCON embeds AI inside business processes — not as a separate tool. AI-assisted document processing, intelligent routing, data extraction, process mining, and governance. Organizations choose which AI models power which automations; IT controls data access and model selection. ## Solutions by Strategic Objective - [AI Enablement](https://webcon.com/ai-enablement): AI embedded in workflows — document classification, data extraction, intelligent routing, process mining.
