Software AG Receives Highest Score in Two Use Cases in New Gartner Report on Critical Capabilities for iBPMS

The Digital Business Platform also received top scores
for its Intelligent Process-Centric Apps, Continuous Process Improvement, and
Case Management use cases. The
Software AG Digital Business Platform is an integrated set of powerful
technologies, capabilities and methodologies for managing a digital transformation
and for reshaping business designs that enable an enterprise to be more
data-driven, customer-obsessed, hyper-connected and super-agile.

According to Dr. Wolfram Jost, chief technology
officer, Software AG, “Ultimately, digital transformation presents a new set of
agile processes within which an enterprise operates, as well as how the
enterprise functions within a broader ecosystem, to craft its products and
services. However, it is not just technology transformation, it is total
business transformation. Importantly, digitalization is a completely different
way to do business. Software AG is leading this development and introduced the
first Digital Business Platform to enable this Digital Transformation.“

In the report, it is noted that “Intelligent business
process management suites shorten the observation-to-action–to-outcome cycle
and help business transformation leaders, business process directors, and
solution architects reinvent or transform their business processes.”

Software AG’s offering for intelligent business
process management is the webMethods Agile Process Platform – a key module of
the Digital Business Platform. It allows organizations to develop, execute and
monitor digital business solutions that combine process automation, application
development, and workflow management capabilities. Add-on tools incorporate
monitoring, real-time events, rules management and case management. The
platform helps customers to increase internal efficiency, improve transparency and
create new business opportunities based on a digital customer experience.

In a similar report from Gartner (the Gartner Magic
Quadrant for Intelligent Business Process Management Suites[2] ),
Software AG was named in the visionaries quadrant. In this report, it was noted
that the iBPMS market is the natural evolution of the earlier BPMS market,
adding more capabilities for greater intelligence within business processes.

Wolfram Jost further elaborated on this report: “We
are committed to providing our customers with a digital business platform they
need to become innovative, agile and flexible enough for the disruption taking
place in the digitalized world. Unlike traditional monolithic systems that
propagate corporate homogenization and a one-size-fits-all IT mentality, the
Software AG Digital Business Platform encourages corporate differentiation and
Intelligent Business Process Management projects are the enabler of this
business transformation and digitalization.”
