Cordys named leader in IDC MarketScape for Business Process Platforms

Cordys received top scores for its capabilities.

Johannesburg, 01 Sep 2011

Cordys, a leading provider of software for business process innovation, announced that IDC, a premier provider of global market intelligence, has named Cordys a leader for Business Process Platforms in its latest IDC MarketScape report, titled: "IDC MarketScape: Business Process Platforms 2011 Vendor Analysis[i]”.

Out of the 17 vendors that participated in the report, Cordys received high scores for the capabilities of its Business Operations Platform (BOP).

“Because of its technical functionality as a platform, modern development environment and business functionality in its process layer, we believe Cordys is an appropriate purchase for enterprises investing strategically in BPM automation technology," stated Maureen Fleming, Program Vice-President at IDC and author of the report.

Fleming pointed out that "customers... have selected Cordys because of pricing, business-friendly interface, BPM+SOA orientation and its performance in proofs of concept."

The MarketScape stated: "Cordys BOP is suitable for process projects ranging from simple to the most sophisticated." The report also noted that "Cordys was one of, if not the earliest, BPM pure-play to recognise the importance of building BPM on an SOA-based platform. That benefits Cordys today as process applications become far more complex and need to pull data from enterprise applications, as well as mediate functionality performed by a third-party application on behalf of the business process.”

The report further added that the Cordys platform “...supports both task and case management paradigms, and BOP also made the shift from forms to a user interface built through composition, which delivers very strong re-use and design benefits to customers.

“Cordys Business Operations Platform is absolutely unique as it offers business process management, SOA-based integration and new application development capabilities in one single platform, which can be deployed on-premise or in the cloud,” said Hans de Visser, Chief Marketing Officer at Cordys. "Cordys' recognition as a leader in the Business Process Platforms is a strong reflection of our continued success and growing momentum as a provider of innovative business process management solutions.”

"The depth and breadth of the Cordys Business Operations Platform puts us in a strong position to help organisations streamline key processes and improve their business operations," said Art Landro, Senior Vice-President of Worldwide Field Operations at Cordys. “Cordys empowers leading companies across a broad range of industries to quickly solve business pains with complete control over internal business processes and collaboration across the entire supply chain.”
