We utilized Oracle BPM to automate various administrative processes within our organization, specifically focusing on eliminating paper-based workflows related to licensing procedures in our environment. Oracle BPM enabled collaboration between our IT and business teams for effective process management. Utilizing the Oracle VPN, we experienced significant improvements in process efficiency. For instance, a process that previously took forty days before implementation was reduced to just twenty minutes after implementing Oracle BPM. This remarkable reduction in time demonstrates the substantial benefits brought about by the solution. The solution is comprehensive, encompassing modeling, implementation, and runtime capabilities. Additionally, by leveraging this platform, we seamlessly integrated Oracle Portal and Oracle Document Management, providing a complete solution within the Oracle ecosystem. The integration capabilities of Oracle BPM with other systems significantly influenced our workflow. Our workflow was impacted positively by these integrations. Initially, we utilized Oracle BPM alongside other Oracle products such as Oracle Context Manager, Oracle Portal, and Oracle Document Management. Despite using multiple products, they are seamlessly integrated, providing a comprehensive solution for our clients. This solution encompassed document management, workflow control, process execution, and automation, effectively streamlining processes and eliminating bureaucratic hurdles. The transparency and efficiency achieved through this integrated approach were highly beneficial for our clients.

Currently, Oracle BPM is integrated with different applications, and the workflow decides which part it has to take. The solution is on the Oracle Fusion platform. It has integration with other services, which are essentially normal Java-based applications. Oracle BPM also provides a task query service that allows you to customize your user interface, retrieve the data, and display it as per user convenience. I would recommend the solution to other users. Overall, I rate Oracle BPM a seven out of ten.

I use Oracle BPM. The advice I would give to anyone who wants to implement Oracle BPM is that if you have a BPM background and you know how to use BPM solutions, it won't be that difficult to use Oracle BPM, especially because it has out-of-the-box features. If Oracle BPM comes with a middleware SOA solution, you can go ahead and integrate it with a lot of services. If you have an Oracle Fusion Middleware environment and you have other SOA-related services going on, you'll find it easier to implement and use Oracle BPM. My rating for Oracle BPM is seven out of ten. It's a seven for me because the UI of the solution needs improvement. For example, if you have human tasks, you'll have to develop a UI, so the UI technology, particularly ADF in Oracle BPM, is very heavy, plus the learning curve is very high. This is why nowadays, my team uses Angular together with Oracle BPM Worklist services. From the perspective of SOAP services, Oracle BPM is good, but in terms of REST services, the solution isn't that good, so my team decided to implement SOAP. If you go for the out-of-the-box REST services, a lot doesn't seem to work properly, plus the documentation also fails, and there's not much support. If you go with other SOAP services, Oracle BPM is fine, and you can use it out of the box for the Worklist services then you can integrate it with the pages that you develop or with Angular or some other light UI solution. ADF is very heavy, and overall, Oracle BPM is heavy because it comes with a lot of components. My company has a platinum partnership with Oracle.

Valuable Features

"Currently, we define the tasks, and based on certain decision rules, the tool decides the task priorities and the time frame of the task."

Room for Improvement

Oracle BPM faces challenges with its steep learning curve, interface complexity, and ADF technology heaviness. It requires better integration with third-party systems and improved decision modeling support. Cost, deployment efficiency, and the need for modern technology alignments like AI are areas needing attention. Users report difficulties in process migration, administration, and technical support. The framework needs enhanced flexibility and robustness, especially for APIs, hybrid solutions, and user interfaces. Pricing and marketing improvements are also suggested.

"There are delays in offering the latest technology, so there is a need to be more responsive to technological changes."
"Oracle BPM should allow integration with external, common APIs."
"The solution's licensing cost is very high."

ROI

Pricing

"The pricing is significantly high, particularly for Brazil where fluctuations in the exchange rate between the dollar and the real can further increase the cost of Oracle licenses."
"We received the product packaged into the Oracle database solution."
"The pricing is very expensive."
