Report Highlights

We view the BPM market as very competitive. Pure-play specialists and enterprise technology conglomerates are all vying for market leadership. Although pure-play specialists and enterprise integration vendors are slightly ahead in terms of BPM technology, market trends may favor enterprise technology conglomerates in the medium term.

The most successful BPM vendors seem to be those that combine excellent core BPM modules with the key competitive differentiators from the adjacent competency areas. BPM vendors are also recognizing the merits of go-to-market strategies based on responding directly to the needs and requirements of business departments.
