Replace Legacy BPMS
If you’re struggling with a traditional business process management suite, Camunda can help.
Legacy BPMS doesn’t measure up
When starting to automate business processes, many organizations purchase a traditional business process management suite (BPMS). However, these products are not suited to the modern world of process automation, which requires agility, scalability, and openness.
Legacy BPMS, which are also known as iBPMS, rely on closed architectures and a proprietary approach to development, limiting business agility and making it difficult and expensive to make changes. They can’t scale dynamically in response to business demand, which means they cause performance issues that negatively affect customers. And they don’t provide the tools you need to continuously improve your processes.
