Use Cases and Deployment Scope

We have implemented TIBCO BPM Enterprise for moving some of the day to day activities in a more organized way. For many processes, requests and approvals were being taken manually. With the help of TIBCO BPM Enterprise, we moved it to a Maker Checker flow. Requests are being created in BPM and with LDAP integration, approval notifications are also being sent making it easier for the approvers to taken action on the pending items.

Pros

Integration with corporate LDAP
Reporting using BPM event capturing
Email notifications and reminder emails
Easy integration with Custom UI
User Role Management

Cons

Out of the box forms can be updated to a new and better version
Java Script supports a limited functionality. It needs to allow use of more features of Java Script
Testing can be done only after deployment. There should be some way to do a basic test without the need for deployment

Return on Investment

Processing was faster with the use of TIBCO BPM Enterprise
More organized way of doing things
History was maintained, helped in reporting
Can be difficult to understand for some using the tool for the first time

Usability

Other Software Used

Oracle SQL Developer, Jenkins, Atlassian Confluence, Postman, Notepad++

Pros

Good process design, clear and new generation Eclipse interface
Different levels of data within the process, case management at its full extent
Capabilities driven task assignment, no more limits to users & groups

Cons

Architecture is quite complex, not that easy to set up and run
Still a lot of room to be as stable in production as iProcess was
Albeit in version 4 it still feels not mature enough for critical applications

Return on Investment

Project management with ActiveMatrix is more costly than it was with iProcess
Process definition is easier if you rely on capabilities and not user/roles
Can implement nearly any kind of business process, executing it really well on the very complex
Superb integration

Programmer in Information Technology at Accenture (10,001+ employees employees)

Pros

Creating a good corporate management system
Good phase of logging and management of every business process
Good correlation with database drivers

Cons

Limited customization of movement validation flows

Return on Investment

In order to create a BPM management, you need to make a very solid data management model, which becomes very important in its reuse
The business process is very often unconnected with the implementation logic and therefore plays in favor of the re-usability of the software
Large customization at log level for which managing these tools can be handled minimizing effort
