Since the 1980s, companies of all sizes, across industries, devoted themselves to business process management. Be it lean, Six Sigma, business process re-engineering, and at present, Business Process Management Software (BPMS) tools, the goal has always been to improve an organisation’s performance.
As technologies rapidly change, with the latest advancements in AI, and digital transformation being the number one topic for businesses, management seeks ways to adjust or improve their processes to match this new, digital age.
The influence of improving processes on organisational performance has proven itself throughout three decades of applying business process management methods. Today, it is a matter of making it even simpler and more efficient with customised BPM tools.
As technology and customer demands change, companies often struggle to adjust their business processes accordingly. This can result in productivity decline, a less agile approach to everyday tasks, inefficient resource use, and lost competitive advantage.
Other challenges often include implementing a new product, compliance with new regulations, and ad hoc events such as mergers or acquisitions.
To get back on track, and increase customer satisfaction, management needs a tool to analyse processes. They must adjust them or create new ones before implementing them across the company, and finally monitor their effectiveness.
Customisable BPM tools help achieve this with less effort. Especially today, with more straightforward visualisation features and an AI-driven approach. This way, professionals can create, redesign and automate workflows for even better results.
Before you decide to go all-in when choosing a BPM tool for your company, it’s time to ask yourself some questions regarding your business goals, the pain points you aim to solve, and the desired scalability of the solution which you’re looking.
Whether you need to break silos and improve collaboration across departments, standardise workflows at different offices, or align your corporate goals with activities, you may need a variety of features to accomplish this.
When evaluating BPM software, focus on the more intricate aspects:
By understanding the tool’s purpose, and your desired features, you can find one that best fits your organisation. You can choose from robust systems like the ones offered by SAP or Oracle, and a variety of smaller, cloud-based applications including Kissflow or K2 Platform.

When deciding on BPM software for your company, you must factor in the price. If you opt for an existing system, its value will vary depending on the size of your company, the tool’s type, and the number of users you wish to enroll.
As the majority of BPM tools are subscription-based, you should consider a monthly fee. With pricing starting at a dozen or so dollars per user, an annual cost of BPMS can number from $250,000 to $500,000.
Considering this price range, and the total value of BPM software, many companies consider developing their own, custom BPMS. While this requires an initial investment, and the hiring of software developers to deliver the product, it is then free of subscription costs, making it a prudent long-term option.
