New research report evaluates the ability of vendors to address all four
BPMS use case scenarios
WATERLOO, ON, Jan. 31, 2013 /CNW/ - OpenText™ (TSX: OTC) (NASDAQ: OTEX),
a leading provider of Enterprise Information Management (EIM) solutions, today announced that leading research analyst firm Gartner has
recognized OpenText in its recent research report Market Update: Match BPMS Vendors to Your Usage Scenarios1. OpenText delivers across the four key BPMS customer usage scenarios
which Gartner has identified as: specific process-based solutions,
redesign for process-based SOA, continuous process improvement and
business transformation.
According to Gartner's report, "BPMSs work best when matched to the
needs of specific usage scenarios…For business process improvement
leaders, business process directors, application managers, solution
architects and CIOs involved in the selection of BPMS providers, this
research provides input into their evaluations. This analysis will help
clients develop a better shortlist of providers that most closely match
their usage scenarios today and in the next few years."
The report provides a current snapshot of the BPMS market and includes
an assessment of 32 vendors, including OpenText, mapping each vendor to
the usage scenarios they support. OpenText was one of a small handful
of BPMS solution providers recognized in the report for its ability to
successfully deliver across all four scenarios. The flexible skills
inventory, designed to facilitate case and task assignment was also
included in OpenText's assessment.
"We believe the findings in Gartner's new BPMS Market Update underscore
our ability to deliver powerful solutions that help businesses
transform the way work gets done," said Steve Russell, senior vice
president of OpenText Business Process Management. "In addition to
delivering innovative solutions that support the four use case
scenarios Gartner highlights, we have further strengthened our BPM
offerings by integrating them with our powerful content management
