One of BPM’s early pioneers, Dr. Setrag Khoshafian, Vice President of BPM Technology at Pegasystems (previously Senior Vice President of Technology with Savvion), surely knows a thing or two about BPMS. In this short and interesting white paper he diffuses what he identifies are Six Myths of Rules and Business Process Management.
In a seemingly innocuous note softly tucked away in a comparative discussion on Human-Centric Business Process Management Suites, analyst Connie Moore makes a this poignant and quietly thought provoking observation:
most buyers consider Pegasystems a high-end business rules vendor with BPMS aspirations.8 In reality, Pegasystems – a successful company with 2004 revenues reaching $96.5 million — has completely morphed into a BPMS vendor that uses its business rules/process engine to tackle and simplify complex processes.
