BPM Software (BPMS) is a process automation tool. It helps you map out your everyday processes to identify and eliminate bottlenecks, control your company’s costs, make your day-to-day processes as efficient as possible, and ensure the effectiveness of the people involved in your processes.
Ultimus Adaptive BPM Software Suite is based on four basic methodologies:
A BPM based foundation provides for complete lifecycle management of business processes, integration across technologies, and imbeds efficiency among people, processes, and technologies.
Many of the point solutions on the market today simply cannot future proof your solution. Unlike specific point solutions, ERP, document management, or framework-only based solutions, business process management solutions are designed and built to handle your future requirements with a flexible and efficient solution that:
Workflow software simply routes tasks from person to person. An example of this would be a Document Review process, where a single document is routed from one person to the next. Once all interested people have reviewed the document, the process is complete. A Business Process Management Suite (BPMS) takes workflow software to a whole new level in several ways:

The above tools are NOT BPM, they are workflow tools. We have specifically designed Ultimus to work WITH them not against it. Developing, building, automating, and integrating business processes with a BPMS allows a company to save time and reduce costs (optimizing day-to-day manual processes into easy to use, efficient, and traceable electronic processes). Conversely, taking the time to code and build the actual business rules engine and routing architecture takes your company's employees away from their core competency. Tools like WF and MOSS not only require you to build workflow technology ground-up, but most likely you will require hiring consulting resources to accomplish this goal. Ultimus has nearly two decades of history and over 2,000 customers. Today we are on our 8th generation. Ultimus has thousands of processes under our belt to help you accelerate performance.
While ERP systems offer great benefits in being able to integrate disparate systems and applications, insight and visibility into the ERP processes is limited. Moreover, in today’s market and economy, it is vital to be able to move quickly when deciding to automate new systems for various reasons (cost, resources, competitive advantage, etc.). A Business Process Management Software Suite provides strengths in four main areas regarding business processes:
One could argue that an advantage that ERP systems offer is that they effectively handle Process Automation and Management, but do not require the intense coding resources and long project plans that many BPM software systems do. A BPMS like the Ultimus Suite not only provides workflow automation capabilities, but offers the ability to automate and manage business processes with little to no coding needed. Moreover, BPM software has the ability to provide process analytics BEFORE AND AFTER the business process goes live, a true differentiator from ERP. Having the ability to “take a step back” from the day to day of your business and analyze your business processes for bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and cost control will enable you to ensure your process automation efforts provide you the return on investment (ROI) your company executives are demanding.
