Report Highlights
Datamonitor views 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.
The BPM market will continue to be the intersection between business and IT.
This is good news for conglomerates since they can offer business expertise
support while improving their BPM portfolios both through development and
through acquisitions. Pure-play vendors will increasingly package BPM
technologies as process-focused vertical solutions.
