\"5<\/p>\n

The process of searching and evaluating a Business Process Management (BPM) solution<\/a> is not as simple as it once was. There\u2019s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all approach when it comes to BPM software. Today, these tools come in a variety of different flavors ranging from low-code<\/a>, optimization and workflow management<\/a>, and now, all the way to Robotic Process Automation (RPA)<\/a>. Each features a particular set of capabilities, strengths, and drawbacks. Choosing the right vendor and solution is a complicated process\u2014one that requires in-depth research and often comes down to more than just the solution and its technical capabilities.<\/p>\n

Here at Solutions Review, it\u2019s our job to help simplify that process. To that end, we\u2019ve created a variety of buyer resources and articles to speed the evaluation of enterprise technology solutions. In our\u00a0Business Process Management Buyer\u2019s Guide<\/a>,<\/strong> we offer readers a full BPM market overview. This includes company and product profiles and best use cases for the top-24 providers, ten questions for prospective BPM buyers, and our bottom line analysis.<\/p>\n

5\u00a0Items to Consider<\/h2>\n

To help simplify the process even more, on their blog, Wrike<\/a> suggests taking a look at these five items to take into consideration when choosing a BPM solution:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Customer Reviews \/ References:<\/strong> Customer reviews can go a long way, so don’t be afraid to ask for customer references to get their opinions, first hand, whether or not the BPM tool you are looking at fits the description. But make sure these customers actually purchased the vendor’s software. Were they happy with the software and services? Why or why not?<\/li>\n
  2. Support<\/strong>:\u00a0Test the vendor’s support systems. A good solution provider should go out of their way to make sure you are completely satisfied with the software. Do they respond quickly? How will these support services scale when you onboard your firm?<\/li>\n
  3. Technical Resources:<\/strong> Take a look at provided learning materials such as knowledge bases, documentation, or wikis. What does the vendor provide for customers to educate themselves?<\/li>\n
  4. Advisory Capability:<\/strong>\u00a0Look for a provider that understands your business situation or industry, and whose people seek to be more of a long-term partner rather than just make the sale. If they can provide guidance rather than simply product specs, you will have a better chance at working through whatever challenges lie ahead.<\/li>\n
  5. Experience in Development:<\/strong> Be sure that the vendor has long-term experience in developing and improving its products.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    More Resources<\/h2>\n

    We also provide our audience with the\u00a0BPM Vendor Map<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0which offers a guide for companies large and small to navigate the developing challenge of managing business processes and workflows. It also includes profiles of the top-19 BPM vendors, covering the best providers of workflow management, artificial intelligence, and low-code development platforms, this new research report is a perfect companion to a Gartner Magic Quadrant or our own Solutions Review\u00a0BPM Buyer\u2019s Guide<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Pair these great resources with Solutions Review\u00a0online directory<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>of BPM vendors, platforms and software solutions. It includes an abbreviated overview, contact information and links to each company\u2019s social media handles for the top-24 BPM providers.
