If the Process is about Content, then Integration is King
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008The BPM analysis shows a strong preference for “other” at 62%.
Once again the probable conclusion is that an ECM user, working in an ECM environment, will use the integrated BPM or workflow software. This is also reflected in SharePoint BPM usage in a SharePoint environment.
Business Process Management can break down into a number of categories:
- Content Centric - Content Creation, Update and Review
- Integrating a Business Process across Multiple Systems
For the former the preference will be for integrated BPM/Workflow. For the latter the preference will likely be for cross application BPM often using BPEL and Web Services
