2 IBM BPM versus JBoss jbpm Good Enough is Not Good Enough Competitive Project Office jbpm provides the basics for BPM, but it lacks key capabilities that make a BPM solution a strong investment Process capture Built-in mobile interfaces Social interaction Process optimization Cloud solutions Even when implementing a basic process, IBM can complete the task better and in half the time 2 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

3 Let us compare IBM BPM and JBoss jbpm in the Following Areas: Process capture design versus draw Process implementation import versus translate Process execution collaborate versus isolate Process monitoring analyze versus speculate Process improvement optimize versus experiment 3 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

4 Process Capture Design versus Draw IBM uses Blueworks Live to capture the process design along with business information and documentation JBoss can use Visio or PowerPoint 4 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

5 A Business Expert Can Collaboratively Capture a Process Layout the process simply and expertly Collect business information to analyze costs, times, and risk Delivered via IBM BlueWorks Live cloud service 5 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

6 Business Experts Can Analyze and Improve Processes Before Implementation Competitive Project Office Validate process paths via playback Identify high risk and low value tasks Follow, post, and stream for social awareness 6 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

7 JBoss Process Capture with PowerPoint Awkward to create flowchart elements No business information Call Center Start Gather Dispute C Back Office Yes Gather Additional Information C Manager Research? Approve Dispute Approved? No Rejected No Yes System Determine Next Step Approval Required? No C Yes Update System Completed 7 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

8 Visio is as Fast as Blueworks Live, but It Lacks Analytical Tools Competitive Project Office 8 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

9 Process Implementation Import versus Translate Competitive Project Office Import saves time, reduces errors jbpm cannot import from Visio or PowerPoint IBM includes KPI s for business awareness jbpm s user interface editing is crude IBM s rules are easier to create and modify than JBoss s 9 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

10 Importing the Design from Blueworks Live Simplifies the Implementation Capture the process then import, implement, and deploy it Save time, reduce errors by importing the process from Blueworks Live into IBM BPM s Process Designer Wizards create user interfaces ( coaches ) and data mapping 10 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

11 IBM Can Specify KPI Thresholds KPI s for cost, execution time, wait time, value add, et al Minimum, maximum, and expected values 11 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

12 jbpm Process Editor is Basic The editor s graphics appear primitive, but the necessary process capabilities are there 12 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

13 IBM BPM Generates a Default Coach Developer can change elements to mobile widgets for a mobile look-and-feel 13 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

14 jbpm Generates a Default Interface No mobile interface 14 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

15 Even Without ODM, Creating a Rule is Easier with IBM than with jbpm Competitive Project Office 15 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

16 Process Execution Collaborate versus Isolate IBM makes completing a process a social experience: stream, image, experts JBoss has no social interaction 16 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

17 IBM Includes Streams, Mentions, and Recommended Experts Competitive Project Office 17 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

18 Share a Task in Real Time Invite users to see a screen and help complete a task 18 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

19 jbpm has a Single Workbench for Development, Administration, and Worklists Competitive Project Office 19 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

20 jbpm Provides Very Limited Context 20 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

21 Process Monitoring Analyze versus Speculate IBM BPM s monitoring is far more comprehensive than JBoss jbpm s IBM can search processes based on assignments and process data, and JBoss cannot IBM offers an audit history for process data, but JBoss s appears only to work for simple types IBM can debug process services, but JBoss cannot 21 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

22 Process Improvement Optimize versus Experiment KPI thresholds Visually identify problem areas Recommendation 22 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

23 IBM Compares Process History to KPI Thresholds Competitive Project Office 23 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

24 IBM Recommends Improvements 24 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

25 jbpm Process Dashboard Gives Basic Information, and Limited Insight Competitive Project Office 25 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

26 BPM is Not Just about the Process Mobile interaction IBM can make coaches with a mobile look-and-feel without coding JBoss cannot Cloud offerings BPM on Cloud can reduce the startup costs of an IBM BPM solution ODM v. Drools Drools lacks ODM s governance, analysis, and testing 26 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

27 IBM BPM Enables Developers To Design Mobile Interfaces To Process Tasks IBM offers a toolkit with controls that provide a native look and feel on Android and Apple devices, so process participants can productively complete tasks on mobile devices A BPM app is available in the istore no development is required 27 Accelerate Processes with Business Process Management

28 BPM on Cloud Makes It Easier to Get Started with a BPM Solution Developers can get started without spending time provisioning hardware and installing and configuring software BPM on Cloud costs $199 per user per month (minimum 25 users, 6 months), so a customer can get started for as little as $5000 per month Solutions easily can scale from development to production in the public cloud or by deploying to a private cloud or onpremise environment 28 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

29 BPM on Cloud Provides Flexibility for IBM Business Process Manager Business & IT Authors Competitive Project Office End Users Process and Integration Designer BPM on Cloud Admin notifications Pilot/Production environment Process Center QA Test environment VPN 29

31 How to Approach jbpm: Emphasize the Complete Solution Competitive Project Office How can you realize the benefits of BPM without the following components: Flexibility of mobile integration Productivity of social interaction Efficiency of cloud deployment What are the risks of a limited tool like jbpm? Design without collaboration and analysis Implementation slower and more error prone Monitoring without critical information Optimization without insight 31 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

32 Design without Collaboration and Analysis What Does that Mean for a jbpm Solution? Competitive Project Office Key stakeholders find it more difficult to review and provide input No analysis or playback errors, missed opportunities to improve before implementation and deployment Process designs can contain inaccuracies and inefficiencies 32 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

33 Implementation Slower and More Error Prone What Does that Mean for a jbpm Solution? Re-creating the process design from PowerPoint or Visio can result in increased time, cost, and errors No built-in mobile interfaces requires significantly more time, cost, and risk to offer mobile look-and-feel to process users Deployment can be more time consuming and less flexible without a public or private cloud solution No process collaboration can result in inconsistent, costly decisions 33 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

34 Monitoring without Critical Information What Does that Mean for a jbpm Solution? Competitive Project Office Time consuming to find particular processes; e.g., important customer, big orders More difficult to determine where processes are delayed, resulting in unhappy customers Difficulty to debug makes development take longer limited auditing makes more expensive to find errors in production 34 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

35 Optimization without Insight What Does that Mean for a jbpm Solution? Competitive Project Office Greater difficulty to find bottlenecks can result in delayed processes, unhappy customers, lost orders Inability to identify exceeded KPI thresholds can result in missed opportunities to deploy resources to resolve the problem No recommendations can result in a process that is less likely to be improved 35 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm

36 Our Conclusions Comparing IBM BPM to jbpm Blueworks Live captures a process better, quicker (twice as fast), and more collaboratively than JBoss with PowerPoint or Visio Process Designer creates a process faster than jbpm IBM BPM makes it easier to monitor, gain insight, and optimize a process Besides the basics of BPM, IBM s solution is much more complete, including mobile, social, and cloud 36 IBM Builds a Better Process than JBoss jbpm
