The Business Process Management market continues to grow and expand. The 2009 Gartner Magic Quadrant for Business Process Management Suites illustrates that the market is evolving.
Gartner has revised its BPMS Magic Quadrant to focus the analysis on product support for the use cases, rather than product features and functions. This change has altered our assessment of the relative strengths of the vendors since our 2007 Magic Quadrant.
Gartner list the top four BPM uses as
- Implementation of a Specific Process-Based Application
- Support for a Continuous Process Improvement Mentality
- Redesign for a Process-Based SOA
- Business Transformation Initiatives
Here’s are the standings for the 2009 BPM Suites Magic Quadrant:
