As I trailed a few days ago, we’ve now published our BPM vendor capability comparison, 2H08 report – as with the individual vendor assessments, anyone with (free) MWD Guest Pass membership can get the report right away. The report provides an overview of the state of the BPM technology market today, explains our approach to assessing BPM technology offerings, and lays out a high-level comparison of the offerings from the seven vendors we currently cover (Appian, IBM, Lombardi, Oracle, Pegasystems, Software AG and TIBCO).
This is the first time we’ve published such a report, and we’d love to know what you think. It took a fair bit of effort! As we refresh our assessments (on a 6-monthly cycle) we’ll be revisiting this – so expect to see an update, with more vendors covered, in late spring 2009.
It’s worth mentioning that the comparisons in the report can only reflect a somewhat “vanilla” point of view – they can’t take into account any particular organisation’s preferences, constraints or requirements. These things will all increase the importance of some factors, and decrease others.
Advisory service customers can use our interactive online vendor comparison tool to delve much deeper into our assessment database, and overlay their own filters and weightings to create their own personalised vendor rankings. You can find out more about the service here.
