LEXINGTON, Massachusetts (September 5, 2012) – WinterGreen Research announces that it has published a new study Business Process Management (BPM: Market Shares, Strategy, and Forecasts, Worldwide, 2012 to 2018. The 2012 study has 533 pages, 172 tables and figures. Worldwide markets are poised to achieve significant growth as people seek to control automated process better and interact with it in a more flexible manner.

According to Susan Eustis, lead author of the WinterGreen Research team that prepared the study, “Cloud computing and smart devices represent the major forces impacting business process management (BPM) markets. As the enterprise managers work to implement apps that make automated process more responsive to the needs of customers, partners, suppliers, and distributors, people use business process management (BPM) as the tools to help workers.”

Business process management software is achieving the ability to connect people across applications within the siloed lines of business software capability. As enterprises realize that automation of process is key to market growth BPM is creating new market opportunities.

Innovation depends on process automation. BPM software is critical to enabling solutions. Software is a strategic business asset used in every industry at every level. Software is necessary to provide automated process.

IBM gained two points of market share in BPM platforms as WebSphere extended its functionality to encompass cloud and more of the process interactions that occur on an everyday basis in an enterprise. IBM is positioning to let people connect across the lines of business from within the business process applications.

This ability to connect immediately is improving productivity. If the shipping department needs to talk to the order department, that can be done form within the business process management application.
Messaging and collaboration are key aspects of Business Process Management (BPM) making processes more efficient. When people can work things out as a problem occurs, then the delays are eliminated and the business runs far more efficiently.

Consideration of Business Process Management (BPM) Market Forecasts indicates that markets at $2.6 billion will reach $7 billion by 2018. Growth comes as automation of process adapts more efficiently to collaboration between people and provides interactive process based on exception management.

Marie Wieck At IBM Impact – No Solution Is An Island

Marie L. Wieck is general manager for the Application and Integration Middleware business unit in IBM Software.  IBM Impact conference, with 8,500 attendees is organized around the theme of permitting businesses to build a completely new business model driven by technology implementation.  Designing business from a technology framework is enabled by new WebSphere systems.

No Solution Is Island theme emphasizes the support IBM WebSphere has for collaboration within application development.  Marie announced the next generation application server at the IBM Impact conference.  The new version of the WebSphere application server represents the results of significant investment in cost effective delivery of core business capability supported by SOA services that provide integration.   The ability to compose integration of services into new applications represents an extension of the designs that are enabled by WebSphere.

Transactions can be optimized and systems can be positioned to achieve flexible response to changing market conditions.   Next generation application server WebSphere is fast.  It is the fastest application server on the market.  It is 16% faster as measured by industry standard benchmarks.  This attention to benchmarks is a key benefit for the next generation systems.

IBM has open standards support with mission critical capabilities.  Systems are more flexible.  Operational automation can be achieved.  The next generation application servers have faster start up times.  It takes less than 5 seconds typically to start up the system.  The developer can put an application on a credit card size device.  This supports apps that are highly available.

Next generation systems improve developer productivity.   Developers can drag in services visually and crate apps in this manner.  The SOA systems create integration in an agile, adaptive manner.  Capabilities are achieved on a new class of technologies that manages the business rules and completes the feedback loops.

WebSphere in the next generation permits the newly evolved applications to go onto a server directly.  The system works without restarting cloud systems.  The applications can be built for a cloud.   New capability and better capability is achieved.    More blogs are to come on Marie’s comments on the roll-out of IBM Pure systems and on the description of the advantages provided by cloud and federated systems.
