Towards the end of last year I came across an entry for business process management in Wikipedia. It wasn’t very good so, in the true spirit of Wikipedia, I rewrote it and tried to get some structure in it. Since then it has evolved with many people each making different contributions, although the original structure seems to have remained. Although I do have a few gripes with the current version of the entry, I guess I have to bow to the fact that my POV is not necessarily the POV of everybody else.
One section I added was a set of links to vendors currently offering BPM products. This has recently be removed by another Wikipedian with the comment that “it’s not a web directory”. Well, maybe. I have to admit that the section was troublesome in that everybody wanted to add their favorite vendor, even if their products had nothing to do with BPM. But I still found the section useful. However, rather than lamenting its demise, I have moved it here so what follows is the last link list from Wikipedia (edited to remove a number of spurious entries):
- Action Technologies
- Adeptia
- ADONIS
- Apache Agila (Open Source)
- Appian Corporation
- BEA
- Cordys
- COSA BPM
- Chordiant
- Documentum
- Workflow.Cubes
- FileNet
- FlowCentric
- Fuego
- Fujitsu
- HandySoft
- IBM
- IDS Scheer AG
- Intalio
- JBoss jBPM(Open Source)
- jCOM1
- K2.net Enterprise Workflow
- Lombardi
- Metastorm
- Microsoft
- Newgen Software
- Open Text
- OpenWFE (Open Source)
- Oracle
- Pegasystems
- Pikos' Bonapart
- SAP NetWeaver
- Savvion
- Sun / SeeBeyond
- Skelta Workflow Software
- TIBCO
- Ultimus
- Virtuoso Universal Server
- Vitria
- webMethods
My criteria for selection are rather loose, basically that each vendor states on their web site that they support business process management rather than just supporting particular processes (such as CRM , SCM etc.). The list is, of course, incomplete.
