-A Maven BOM that provides centralized version management for all Firefly Framework modules. Importing this artifact into your `dependencyManagement` section ensures that every framework dependency resolves to a compatible, tested version without requiring explicit version declarations.
+## Overview
 
-## What is a BOM?
+The Firefly Framework BOM (Bill of Materials) provides centralized version management for all Firefly Framework modules. By importing this BOM into your project's `dependencyManagement` section, you ensure that every framework dependency resolves to a compatible, tested version without requiring explicit version declarations.
 
-A Bill of Materials is a special POM artifact (`<packaging>pom</packaging>`) that declares a set of dependency versions. When imported via `<scope>import</scope>`, it allows your project to omit `<version>` tags on those dependencies while guaranteeing version consistency across the entire dependency tree.
+This is the recommended approach when your project already has its own parent POM and cannot inherit from `fireflyframework-parent`. The BOM covers all core modules, application layers, ECM adapters, IDP implementations, notification providers, rule engine components, webhooks, callbacks, and the config server.
 
-## Usage
+## Features
+
+- Single import provides version management for all Firefly Framework modules
+- Covers core framework modules (cache, EDA, CQRS, event sourcing, transactional engine)
+- Covers application layers (application, backoffice, web, domain, data)
+- Covers ECM modules and storage adapters (AWS S3, Azure Blob)
+- Covers IDP modules (Keycloak, AWS Cognito, internal DB)
+- Covers notification providers and core
+- Covers rule engine, workflow, webhooks, callbacks, and plugins
+- Covers config server
+- Compatible with any parent POM
+
+## Requirements
+
+- Java 21+
+- Maven 3.9+

-## BOM vs Parent POM
-
-| Approach | When to Use |
-|---|---|
-| **fireflyframework-parent** | Your project can inherit from the Firefly parent. This gives you both version management and plugin configuration. |
-| **fireflyframework-bom** | Your project already has its own parent POM. The BOM provides version alignment only, without imposing build conventions. |
-
-If you inherit from `fireflyframework-parent`, you do not need to import the BOM separately -- the parent already includes all managed versions.
-
-## Managed Artifacts
-
-### Core Framework
-
-| Artifact ID | Description |
-|---|---|
-| `fireflyframework-core` | Actuator, health indicators, service registry, observability |
-| `fireflyframework-domain` | DDD base entities, value objects, aggregate roots |
-| `fireflyframework-utils` | Shared utilities and template rendering |
-| `fireflyframework-validators` | Annotation-based data validators |
-| `fireflyframework-web` | WebFlux exception handling, idempotency, OpenAPI |
-| `fireflyframework-client` | Reactive REST, SOAP, gRPC client with resilience |
-| `fireflyframework-cache` | Multi-provider caching abstraction |
-| `fireflyframework-r2dbc` | Reactive database auto-configuration |
-
-### Distributed Patterns
-
-| Artifact ID | Description |
-|---|---|
-| `fireflyframework-eda` | Event-Driven Architecture with Kafka/RabbitMQ |
-| `fireflyframework-cqrs` | Command Query Responsibility Segregation |
-| `fireflyframework-eventsourcing` | Event Sourcing with snapshots and projections |
-| `fireflyframework-transactional-engine` | Saga and TCC distributed transactions |
-| `fireflyframework-workflow` | Workflow orchestration engine |
-| `fireflyframework-data` | Data processing and job orchestration |
-
-### Enterprise Content Management
+## Configuration
 
-| Artifact ID | Description |
-|---|---|
-| `fireflyframework-ecm` | Core ECM abstractions |
-| `fireflyframework-ecm-storage-aws` | Amazon S3 storage adapter |
-| `fireflyframework-ecm-storage-azure` | Azure Blob Storage adapter |
+No configuration is required. The BOM is a version-management-only artifact with no runtime behavior.
 
-### Identity Provider
+## Documentation
 
-| Artifact ID | Description |
-|---|---|
-| `fireflyframework-idp` | IDP abstraction layer |
-| `fireflyframework-idp-aws-cognito` | AWS Cognito adapter |
-| `fireflyframework-idp-internal-db` | Database-backed IDP |
-| `fireflyframework-idp-keycloak` | Keycloak adapter |
+No additional documentation available for this project.
