Facilitates development flexibility and easy customization
Flexibility of development. Developer can use various JavaScript APIs for development. Most (or all) of the components are plug and play. Customization is easily achievable most of the time As mentioned above, it is more flexible than other products available in the market. Performance. More…

Automation has transformed financial workflows and has improved revenue tracking and compliance
Regarding Watsonx, I am uncertain whether it is fully complied and fully integrated with IBM Business Automation Workflow yet. Currently, we use some AI in Enterprise Content Management, particularly when searching documents. Archiving snapshots would be very beneficial. It would be good to reduce the administration effort required to archive snapshots, as this is a main issue with the product. I would also recommend that IBM engage with customers more deeply. Rather than sending URLs or documentation for customers to solve problems independently, the support team should be more involved in addressing the client's specific issues in a targeted manner, providing clear guidance on what actions need to be taken.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Flexibility of development; the developer can use various JavaScript APIs for development and most or all of the components are plug and play, so customization is easily achievable most of the time."
"Its interface is well-designed and user-friendly"
"No matter what somebody's technical experience level is, the tool can start adding value immediately."
"This is a stable solution that we have been able to use as a distributed system."
"It has increased productivity on the development side, we have been able to move applications from thought to production quicker, the solution saves time in development as well as with time to deploy, and it has been able to reduce operating costs."
"It's a flexible solution."
"IBM provides long-term support and maintains a traditionally good customer-vendor relationship."
"After being acquired from Lombardi by IBM, BPA was only workflow-related, and over a period of time it evolved with a lot of capabilities added to the product, like rules, business decision-making, and now a more enhanced toolkit to build applications very rapidly."
"It has integrated UI and deployment models, and it has a deep set of consultant and service provider ecosystem features."
 

Cons

"Yes, the servers are not as efficient as required."
"However, on Windows, I believe considerable administration tasks are required to maintain environment stability."
"Requires a lot of customization code writing which could be reduced."
"Every client is moving to the cloud. We are still a little behind with IBM, but we are catching up from my point of view."
"The setup and installation process could be made easier."
"In terms of improvement, it could be less complex; it is quite a complicated software."
"The main areas which need improvement are specifically around reporting and analytics."
"The initial setup is actually a really complicated process."
"I would like to see more streamlined install and provisioning; preferably containerized IBM BPM would be helpful."
