SAP NetWeaver BPM vs. Templafy

It is well suited when we need to integrate business processes with SAP ERP and SAP CRM - the solution can be integrated with business rules/procedures defined in SAP ERP/CRM and NetWeaver can be used to monitor the rules and flag off exceptions. When there are multiple workflows running, it tends to slow down running of these processes. Also, it entirely depends on SAP portal for it to run efficiently.

Great use case for TEmplafy is when you have a lot of assets in a system, that you want to be able to slice and dice and export a custom report of what is meaningful to you. They are set up so you can make selections to only surface what you need and feel very well served. It is not ideal, at this time, if you want to look at many separate systems and merge them all. It requires a lot of work to customize and tailor to fit this more curated need

• Virtual paper trail. Iterations of process and current documentation are all stored as "artifacts", leaving a great trail.
• Configuration of users. BPM somewhat magically determines which users will be impacted and automates rules.
• A pro (that is also a con) is the design interface. If you know what you are doing, it is incredibly powerful and malleable.

• Simple user interface to make choices and see results
• Puts the power of customization in the users hand
• Quick set up and powerful

• Easier to maneuver
• Work with all systems with the press of one keystroke

• Customized interface to fit more with a brand or style
• Web interface and not being dependent on microsoft software

As a big fan of SAP in general, the BPM solution fits right in with all the other things SAP does well, and does it with incredible efficiency

We have our own tech support for systems, I would say they probably could use more training on it, I don't really think it's anything regarding the SAP system, but more the knowledge they have on the system itself. It seems to take longer for them to fix any issues we may come across.

I found the initial setup of NetWeaver is much simpler than other products especially in an SAP environment where we have SAP ERP/HRM/CRM as it can be well integrated with other SAP products. The only drawback is the need/dependency on SAP Portal. It is better suited in an environment where SAP ERP is running.

We went went templafy for the ease of set up, still in our first year but looking to see how it stacks up once we want to integrate with Salesforce. We wanted the ability to customize and templafy offered more options than others

• Helped us harness integrated benefit from having SAP ERP/CRM by leveraging NetWeaver to define business processes/rules and monitor exceptions
• Did not have any negative experience except for the fact that at times when multiple rules run, it can be somewhat slow

• Reduces search hours by half
