In summary, workflow is an old technology that has been around for a few decades. It is not very robust and agile. It cannot do the complex process orchestration that involves multiple rules, decision gateways, systems, events, documents, users, that a Business Process Management (BPM)Suite can handle. Furthermore, the BPM software market has been evolving rapidly in the past decade. Many of the traditional vendors got acquired, new ones emerged, while Appian kept raising the bar with innovative and modern BPM capabilities.
So the question is, do you want to drive a FordModel T from the 1900s or do you want to drive a modern Tesla Model S? Wherever you are in the BPM journey, whatever your budget is, there is a solution to meet your needs.
