ABOUT THIS SESSION:

There are a large number of software vendors offering software products designed to help business process practitioners, business rules developers and business analysts.  Some help with very specific tasks, some help with multiple tasks, and some of the recent BPMS suites are designed to serve as business process platforms that can support any and all process work.  This panel will ask three vendors to discuss the current software products market, who is using process software, the range of products available, and to speculate on where the market is going in the near future.

• What business process software options are available today?
• What are the strengths and weaknesses of various options?
• What are the trends in the market in terms of products and use?
