BPM vendor capability comparison report
As I trailed in my last BPM blog entry, having published seven new or updated BPM technology assessment reports last week we’re now in a position to release something that pulls all our summary analysis together in one place.
So we published our BPM vendor capability comparison, 2H08 report this morning – anyone with (free) MWD Guest Pass membership can get the report right away. The report provides an overview of the state of the BPM technology market today, explains our approach to assessing BPM technology offerings, and lays out a high-level comparison of the offerings from the seven vendors we currently cover (Appian, IBM, Lombardi, Oracle, Pegasystems, Software AG and TIBCO).
This is the first time we’ve published such a report, and we’d love to know what you think. It took a fair bit of effort! As we refresh our assessments (on a 6-monthly cycle) we’ll be revisiting this – so expect to see an update, with more vendors covered, in late spring 2009.

Which IBM product are you assessing here? In the commentary on IBM, you talk about both of their BPM products, but those are (as I’m sure that you know) completely separate products. Have you combined the capabilities of both in your assessment?
Good question Sandy. We looked at the whole of the IBM BPM Suite – both the WebSphere Dynamic Process Edition and the FileNet Active Content Edition – in the one report. IBM wanted it that way.
If you read the detailed IBM report, it should all become obvious…hopefully.
