Hi,Could you tell me which features you’ve compared towards other vendors to make the decision for Interfacing Technology Coporation’s?All the features you’ve described so far can be delivered within BPA Suite and the extra advantage is the round tripping.The analysis of manual business processes towards automated business processes can be generated as an executable process from BPA Suite. In other words the analysis and the implementation are a 1-to-1 mapping of the business’ and ict’ expactations.This is the greatest benefit for me because now you always had the use cases (500 pages long) which weren’t aligned with wath was actually developed because the developer had another idea than the analyst. Maybe you can remember these situations as well, for me it’s not that a common practice anymore when people have changed their mindset are thinking in terms of processes instead of functionalities and silo’s.

I found you comparison between Oracle’s Studio and Suite very interesting as I recently made a similar comparison between products.I was looking for a product that would allow me to map process flows and create swimlanes etc. within one environment. I was using an old version of Appian’s software and became extremely frustrated as I could not perform these tasks.I was directed to Interfacing Technology Coporation’s website by a colleague and found there product to be exceptional. Not only could all of the tasks you mentioned be performed within one environment but the program was incredibly intuitive and easy to use regardless of your skillset/technical background. In addition, Interfacing’s Enterprise Process Center uses the most up to date BPMN specs and even had a free download that could be used through Microsoft Visio. It’s about time a company started using BPM software to it’s full potential.
