    Really well suited for processes which work with documents, seems less (but it is possible) appropriate for single/no data actions (e.g. just provide a quick update in SQL database without any process).

    Blueworks Live was part of a project deal. We did not keep it after the project. We found there are many solutions offering similar or superior capabilities - the fact that Blueworks does not fully support the universal BPMN standard was a big letdown for us. The pricing also did not make sense as a standalone solution.

    Return on Investment
    IBM
    • It has helped us reduce miscommunication between our departments, such as production, inventory, and shipping, thus reducing delays.
    • Now, most things are automated; we can quickly know when a product will be in low stock.
    • With the help of custom charts, we are easily able to determine our best-selling product of the month and week, which helps us market according to stats.
