"Our research indicates
the beginning of a concentration of the Workflow industry around two
categories of players: large EAI or ERP vendors for which a Workflow & BPM
offer is more and more considered as strategic; and dynamic and independent
workflow vendors building on a long experience of successful projects. The
market will be less and less open to newcomers." says Martin Ader, researcher and industry analyst.

QUOTES |
| Technical
Architect in a financial services group |
" Your
classification of workflow applications is really valuable and the
best I have come across up to date. Your evaluation approach and
detail is impressive " |
| ENGLAND:
Tony Hendley, Technical director, Information Management &
Technology |
" This is an
extremely valuable analysis as, in addition to the nine products
evaluated, the criteria can be used to evaluate any WFM software
package "....." The (volume 3 ) study
provides much detailed analysis which is well worth the price of
the study on its own "..." Overall, the study
is worth its weight in gold, It would save any project team weeks
of work.. "..." That is good value for money
when you consider how long it would take to collect anything near
this amount of information " |
| GERMANY:
Computerwoche |
A
detailed description and summary of the Workflow Comparative
Analysis by Martin Ader, from W&GS. |
| FRANCE:
Sabine Bohnke, 01 Informatique |
"Progiciels,
comment s'y retrouver dans le flot des workflow"
.." Pour faire son marché, une étude de W&GS
compare neuf moteurs sur la base de douze critères. .. Ils ont le
mérite de définir une segmentation de l'offre qui tend à
prouver que le produit universel n'existe pas " (To
go shopping, a W&GS study compares 9 workflow engines on
twelve criteria. .....their merit is to define a market
segmentation which tends to prove that the universal product does
not exist) |
| FRANCE:
Cédric Nicolas, Eric Bricier , Informatique Magazine, |
"Dans son
étude comparative, le consultant Martin Ader a noté, suivant 247
critères, neuf des principaux moteurs de workflow " (In
its comparative study, the analyst Martin Ader scored, out of 247
criteria, nine of the main workflow engines) |
| EUROPE:
Document World, |
"Workflow
has grown into a mature software business domain with recognized
potential for increasing organisation's efficiency, productivity
and quality of services. But it still remains too much a concept
under which different implementations find a convenient marketing
umbrella. Suppliers who attract potential buyers without giving
them a clear perspective won't contribute to making workflow an
acceptable technology. Users need to have a means of being able to
select from over a hundred product offerings available today.
Martin Ader takes the challenge and analyses seven workflow
engines." |
