A definitive report on the Business Process Management and Workflow Management Systems available now.

SODAN's Business Process & Workflow Management Systems report is all you will ever need to select the business process/workflow management (BPM) software best suited to your organisation and computer environment.

Business Process Management and Workflow System information

Each Business Process Management (BPM) system and its supplier have been independently assessed by SODAN. The report summarises the software supplier and its position in the market. Each BPM product is described in detail, noting its strong and weak points, and covering ease of use and application development. Operating environments are also detailed, so that you can short-list those Business Process Management systems which will most readily fit into your current computing infrastructure. While there are some 'free' guides to BPM software available, the reviews are often supplied or sponsored by suppliers, and therefore are not as independent as our product reviews.

Additional information

Future developments are covered too, enabling you to base your selection on the maximum available information. Supporting data includes pricing, training and support services, and example customers for each business process and workflow management system.

The book is prefaced with a list of the benefits of using BPM, and a working definition. It also includes a number of user case studies in various industry sectors and countries.
