Gartner unveils 'cool' BPM list

Gartner has just published its list of 'cool' business process management (BPM) vendors for 2010. The list consists of five small companies that have made key advances in BPM over the course of the past year, writes CMSWire.

Gartner defines a 'cool vendor' as one that is innovative, interesting, and has or will have a business impact on the future of IT.

The result is a list of companies that are not particularly well known, but which have developed software that has drawn the attention of Gartner at least.

Fico, a provider of analytics and decision management technology, and Software AG have expanded global strategic partnership to deliver an integrated decision and BPM solution to customers, says Market Watch.

Software AG will now offer the full capabilities of the Fico Blaze Advisor business rules management system as part of its webMethods business process management suite.

This provides clients with a single, seamless platform for maximising the power and value they derive from their business process automation systems.

Pyramid IT, an IT and software solutions provider, recently bagged a BPM order from Jindal Steel (JSPL), a player in steel, power, mining, oil & gas and Infrastructure, reports CIOL..

This is for automation and management of its entire content and legacy documents. The implementation of Pyramid IT's FineDocs ECM Product Suite at JSPL's Angul site in Orissa has already started.

Pyramid IT has won on account of its line of ECM Product Suite.
