Facilitates process integration across departments but requires better pricing and broader feature adoption
The most valuable features I find in Oracle BPM include a unified process management platform, human workflow management, and process simulation and optimization. I see that it is integrated with other ERPs. If you integrate it with human HRMS workflow management, then it will provide integration with HRMS for Oracle E-Business Suite and for process analytics and business.

"The best part about this solution is that the feature set is complete."

"The Workspace is a full, rich application where most users can find what they want. It shows them a list of their work."
 

Cons

"OpenText ProVision's collaboration management is quite complicated and difficult to use."
