Description:

As enterprises try to compete more effectively in an increasingly competitive marketplace, they face a complex set of requirements for supporting their integration needs. The traditional approach to meeting these needs has been to assemble a set of best-of-breed products. However, comprehensive products like integration-centric BPM tools (IC-BPMS's) provide extensive integration features that cover enterprise application integration (EAI), B2B integration (B2Bi), business process management (BPM), and service-oriented architecture (SOA). And many have pre-integrated components out of the box, thereby reducing implementation and on-going maintenance expenses.

Evaluation of the competing IC-BPMS products is a complicated endeavor in its own right because the products have varying capabilities in each of the key functional areas. This session explores the key features that Forrester has identified as being critical to effectively comparing products in this category and provides guidance to clients on how to select the specific tool that is the most appropriate for their situation.

Agenda:

• The IC-BPMS value proposition
• The evolution of IC-BPMS tools
• The impact of IC-BPMS tools on the process life cycle
• Recommended IC-BPMS selection criteria
