TIBCO® BPM Enterprise

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.

TIBCO BPM Enterprise allows integration with Corporate LDAP and at the same time define Role Based Access Control which helps in authentication and authorization of the users. It supports both default database and custom database. Drag and drop feature allows easy and faster way to do the development. It has support for deployment from design studio and scripted deployment as well. TIBCO BPM Enterprise has a wide range of plugins for development.

Control and governance tool for all business workflow in a company of about 250 people. The product handles IPO workflow , customer on-boarding through to annual leave. It was setup to enable users to integrate and manage the whole process themselves via a number of standard templates put in place. The setup was done on time and under budget. I would have no issues using or buying this product again in the future.

It’s not a transaction platform so don’t try and use it as such you need a custom solution like a calypso or similar. It is a brilliant non-stp solution tool it will make it feel like you have an STP workflow and the reporting service provides real colour on what’s going on in your organisation.

BPM is used majorly by the integration to orchestrate the business process. This is one of the best tools available on the market for business process orchestration. TIBCO is a fun to work tool and it makes developers life easy with the rich and easy to use features.

Any complex and rich business process is a handy tool. for people who needs a business process to connect to multiple systems and to integrate multiple systems, this is more useful.

TIBCO ActiveMatrix has been used as a TIBCO iProcess replacement as a BPM for business processes managing direct sales with the customer (those that are complex and cannot be solved within a day or a single call).

It is well suited on heavily integrated scenarios where it takes advantage of BW integration and therefore it is easy to connect to everything. Complex business processes are welcome also. But if your organization has several environments (DEV, TEST, QA, STAGGING, PROD) and your dev/deploy/admin roles are isolated, promoting software is a bit difficult.

We will use TIBCO ActiveMatrix for integration between various systems, implementing and managing the business process of our company.

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is well suited and ready to use when configured with standard process with human interaction.

The organization uses the application in one department. In apps are developed BPM processes with external services integration and data orchestration.

It is very good to implement BPM processes without complication integration and data orchestration. It's not for middle-ware projects with only a small part of BPM.

It's used across the entire organization of an important financial institute. It solves in a great manner the business scenario of the management of long-term business processes offering the possibility to resubmit a task in error. It permits us to represent easily the corporate organization by the organization model. The model is designed to easily define the organization unit and dispatch the proper privilege to them.

The scenario where TIBCO ActiveMatrix is well suited is in the scenario where there are more long-term business processes and in a complex corporate organization where there are many users with different privileges to perform actions on the same processes. It's less appropriate where there are no complex business process especially if the resubmit of the task in error is not required.

Our actual TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM projects have been focused on department needs. The main goal for these projects is automating manual processes.

PRO: Good for business-centric systems.
CONS: Needs to improve integration with 3rd-party authentication systems (for example, Federated STS systems and Windows Identity foundation).

TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM is being used across the organization to design and control the traffic of information between the different Treasury Information Systems. It is use to check and monitor the transactions of the Financial Products.

It is highly recommended to use TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM in an environment with many Information Systems managed by many independent actors. On the other hand, if the number of Information Systems and applications are low or the transactions between them are low it is not recommended.

In addition one has to consider if these processes are susceptible to many changes or if they will be maintained by one or many actors. If they are static or only a few groups of people will design them, it is not recommended also.

I currently support BPM for my client on a daily basis and it is being used across the organisation. On a day-to-day basis, we have had problems with nodes losing connection with EMS. We are communicating currently with TIBCO support to ensure this problem is solved. Apart from this, we are also having a persistent storage error happening.

It is well suited for high-level analytics or real-time integration among multiple applications. But it's powerful and over complicated and expensive for most small and midsize BPM projects.

BPM is used for visual data discovery. It also has two stream analytics CEP Platforms. It offers high-level real-time analytics and operational intelligence.
