How to select a BPM software?

Leer en Español

The selection of software for the technological implementation of the Business Process Management (BPM) discipline will depend mainly on whether we want to cover the entire BPM life cycle or only some of its phases. The selection methodology explained below is valid for both cases, but when defining the evaluation criteria, it will be necessary to take into account what is the scope sought (with respect to the BPM life cycle), in order to evaluate similar products.

BPM Platforms

If what we are looking for is a BPM technology platform that covers most of the phase of the BPM life cycle for the continuous improvement of business processes, we have several types of platforms following Gartner's classification: basic BPM platform, BPMS (Business Process Management Suite) and iBPMS (Intelligent Business Process Management Suite). It will be essential to pay attention to the criteria that are evaluated in the analysis carried out by the analysts (Gartner, IDC, Forrester ...), so as not to rule out solutions that do not appear in these reports, because they could be adequate solutions for our requirements. Or, it can be considered a set of software solutions from different vendors that compliment each other (although both vendors and their future should be studied).

Process for the selection of BPM Platform

For the selection of the best BPM solution, a specific process must be defined that adjusts to assess how the solution responds to our specific technical requirements, but without ignoring other important criteria such as, for example, the future of the supplier and its situation in the market (it will be analyze later). When I advise on software selection, I recommend relying on the following process that includes three main phases.

¿Cómo seleccionar software BPM?

Read in English

La selección de software para la implantación tecnológica de la disciplina Business Process Management (BPM - Gestión Por Procesos) dependerá principalmente de si deseamos cubrir todo el ciclo de vida de BPM o solo alguna de las fases.  La metodología de selección que se explica a continuación es válida para ambos casos, pero será necesario tener en cuenta al definir los criterios de evaluación cuál es el alcance que se busca (respecto del ciclo de vida de BPM), para poder evaluar productos semejantes.

Plataformas BPM

Si lo que buscamos es una plataforma tecnológica BPM que cubra la mayor parte de las etapas del ciclo de vida de BPM para la mejora continua de los procesos de negocio, tenemos varios tipos de plataformas siguiendo la clasificación que hace Gartner: plataforma básica BPM, BPMS (Business Process Management Suite) e IBPMS (Intelligent Business Process Management Suite).  Será imprescindible fijarse bien en los criterios que se evalúan en los análisis realizados por los analistas (Gartner, IDC, Forrester…) para no descartar soluciones que no aparezcan en estos informes, porque podrían ser soluciones adecuadas para nuestros requerimientos. O también, se puede considerar un conjunto de soluciones de software de diferentes fabricantes que se complementen (aunque se deberá estudiar a ambos fabricantes y su futuro).

Proceso para la selección de Plataforma BPM

Para la selección de la mejor solución BPM se debe definir un proceso concreto que se ajuste a valorar cómo la solución responde a nuestros requerimientos técnicos concretos, pero sin obviar otros criterios importantes como por ejemplo, el futuro del proveedor y su situación en el mercado (se analiza más adelante). Cuando asesoro en la selección de software, recomiendo basarse en el siguiente proceso ( que incluye tres principales fases.
