Software Market to See Widespread Adoption of Big Data, Cloud and Process Management

By Nathesh, TMCnet Contributor

Software AG, a provider of big data, integration and business process technologies, conducted a customer technology adoption survey that found in the next two years, big data, cloud mobile, collaborative and business process management (BPM) technologies will see widespread adoption.


Wolfram Jost, CTO at Software AG, commented, “Driving the adoption of these technologies is the need for faster, better informed business decisions. But the real-time data, rapid scalability and fast decision making enabled by these technologies are of little use if companies still take months or years to implement business process change. The market will not wait, by integrating business processes with Big Data, the Cloud and both Mobil and Collaborative applications we are giving enterprises an uninterrupted rapid response service to changing market conditions.”

Software AG claimed that from its offerings, businesses and IT get the tools they need to collaborate for true end-to-end process improvement, guided by strong process governance.

Survey participants held the view that big data can help them realize better real-time operational business insights, allowing for informed decisions efficiently and quickly. It is said to be one of the prime reasons that is driving big data adoption.

During ProcessWorld 2012, the company reportedly announced a range of updates for its webMethods (News - Alert) and ARIS business process product suites, with more focus on big data, business processes and the cloud.

Software AG explained that its ARIS 9.0 focuses on accelerating process improvement by allowing a significantly broader set of corporate skills and experiences to contribute to process design and testing. Its webMethods 9.0 is capable of combining the management of big data from any source with automated business processes and applications deployed in the cloud, on mobile devices or in-house. Using both these solutions together, one can dynamically navigate technology and harness new developments to gain more business agility and performance.

Jost added, “Rapid scalability is key in the light of the survey’s findings. And rapid integration of existing on-premise infrastructure with Cloud based applications is a significant feature of webMethods 9.0. We developed both webMethods 9.0 and ARIS 9.0 in close cooperation with major customers and this survey shows that we are right on track.”
