Overall Satisfaction with webMethods Business Process Management Suite (BPMS)
We use webMethods Business Process Management Suite (BPMS) in our organisation to design, develop, and execute the orchestration of long running work flow processes especially when those work flows include steps that require input from users such as approval steps before continuing the business process. Any business process that can executed over a long time such as many days, involves multiple separate and distinct business applications, and requires manual user input to proceed, we treat as a good candidate for automating with webMethods BPMS.
- Great process design user interface and usability
- Excellent tools for monitoring processes at runtime
- Business rules can be managed and updated by non-technical resources
- Pricing is opaque and higher than we'd like
- Some of the user interfaces are outdated and looking their age
- Require buy in from business to achieve return on investment
- Visibility of business process execution, such as what has run successfully or failed, and what is currently in flight
- Tools to help recover from business process failures or stalls caused by unavailable applications or end users
- Business process design tool usability
- Initial adoption of BPMS was slow and required buy in from the business, which was only achieved through upper management buy in applying KPIs down the line
- Once a critical mass of business processes being automated with BPMS is reached, any processes that remain manual will stand out like a sore thumb and the business will be invested to automate those remaining processes too, so adoption of BPMS is like a slow snowball effect
- Not requiring technical resources such as developer to design and build out processes is a pipe dream and impossible to realise. You will always need experts in the automation tools you apply in your organisation, and webMethods BPMS is no exception
