Organisations wanting to quickly obtain an overview of the latest findings of this research can view a free webinar entitled "Choosing the right BPM technology and making it work for you."
The webinar will round up the findings from our current BPM technology and best practice research – giving you models and analysis that will help you select BPM technology options that will fit the needs of your organisation. We'll explore four key issues:
- As BPM matures as a discipline and as more organisations look to employ the technology, what kinds of capabilities will enable the technology to add most value?
- The three dimensions through which you should assess BPM technology
- Key trends in BPM technology provision and adoption today, and what they offer in business value terms
- High level strengths and weaknesses of key vendors - Appian, IBM (including Lombardi), Oracle, Pegasystems, Software AG and TIBCO.
To view the webinar you'll need free Guest Pass access to our library. View this webinar now.

Our experience is that driving success with BPM techniques and technologies requires a holistic approach to capability improvement – you have to work on skills, culture, management orientation and a host of other things, as well as being prepared to invest in technology.
To help you select the technology that's most appropriate for your organisation, members of our premium advisory service can use an online vendor comparison tool. Tell us a bit about your organisation and your requirements, and we'll give you a shortlist of products you should consider putting on your shortlist. To find out more about this tool contact sales@mwdadvisors.com.
But as we've said, your choice of technology is only part of the story... So we've also designed an online tool that will help you understand your organisation's maturity or readiness and help you build the case for more substantive change and keep fine-tuning things as you progress. You'll get instant feedback and advice on where you need to focus your efforts. What's more, it's free to use the basic tool and you can get started right now. Find out more >
