BPM solutions tend to be either integration-centric, human-centric or collaborative solutions. Integration-centric BPMS solutions focus on process improvements involving a high degree of interactions between systems and applications. These solutions are frequently used to automate system-intensive processes such as supply chain management and integrating business processes across functional silos.

Human-centric BPMS solutions are more complex. They emanate from the erstwhile workflow solutions and they tend to be people-intensive, document-intensive and decision-intensive. These solutions focus on interactions between people involved in routing, approving and fulfilling requests. They are basically workflow solutions disguised as BPM solutions.

"Colloborative" BPMS solutions focus on process documentation, business requirements documentation and are good at sharing processes amongst multiple teams. These usually result in shelfware.

Shimo's BPMS solution focus on allowing businesses to be more agile and competitive by implementing a full process lifecycle approach. Our BPMS solution allow customers to implement automated end-to-end business processes, enabling customers to manage the entire lifecycle of their business processes, from initial discovery,design and modelling to implementation to process improvement and optimisation. This is achieved by following BPM 2.0 principles.

According to BPM expert Dr. Bruce Silver, principal of Bruce Silver Assoaciates and a regular columnist for an BPM professionals exchange site BPMInstitute.org, who coined the term, "BPM 2.0", to refer to new tools that allow "process without programming." He continues to elaborate that "That technology, featuring integration adapters that could introspect enterprise information systems and turn them magically into “services” ready for orchestration in a business process, was the beginning of the convergence of SOA and BPM.

The Intalio BPMS offering and Intalio as an organisation is a thought leader in this space. More information on the Intalio BPMS offering can be found on the Intalio website.
