After something of a delay, and a great deal of consternation in the industry about this “new” BPMS magic quadrant, Gartner has finally published their magic quadrant for Intelligent Business Process Management Suites (iBPMS).
Having had my fingers slapped in the past for publishing excerpts (which should be considered fair use), I won’t ruin the surprise, although you can draw your own conclusions from these vendor press releases yesterday:
Appian Positioned in the Leaders Quadrant in New Intelligent Business Process Management Software Magic Quadrant Report
and
Pegasystems Positioned As A Leader In Independent Analyst Firm’s 2012 Magic Quadrant For Intelligent Business Process Management Suites
Both of these companies are offering a free reprint of the report (registration required).

I saw a new company Bosch software innovations in the quadrant. Impressive vision i must say but how much of this is realistic as of now. But going by Bosch’s expertise in devices they can very well change the rule of the games. Please give me some insights about this company.
Hi Richa:
While Bosch Software Innovations is new to the MQ we have over 600 customer installations in Europe, Asia, North and South America. Our software includes an Intelligent Business Process Management Suite (iBPMS), a Business Rules Management Suite (BRMS) and an Infrastructure (Device) Management Suite (IMS). We are, indeed, changing the rules of the game by bringing all these components into a unified, model-driven development and execution environment. In addition to supporting traditional iBPM applications, we are expanding our process management models to support the “Internet of Things” with new domains in Operational Process Management and Production Process Management. Modeling and supporting devices as actors in processes and rules extends the world of process into machine-to-machine (M2M) environments opening whole new industries to automated process support. Think about productivity applications such a plant floor integration, pipeline controls, smart-grid management and call data record management. Or how about operational lifecycle management applications like predictive maintenance, machine health, remote condition monitoring, building controls, work management systems and provisioning systems? From vending machines to earth-moving equipment and from oil drill strings to plant manufacturing equipment, billions of new devices – smart and not so smart – will be connected to the internet and participate in process automation in the next several years. We are providing the leadership, software and services to drive those initiatives forward. Check us out at http://www.bosch-si.com.
