If your organization is heavily invested in SAP as an enterprise wide solution already, BPM is really your only option. Solid, seamless integration, smooth workflow, and data trails for business analysis are impeccable. If you aren't already heavily invested, key questions to ask would be - Am I using too big a hammer? The results are impressive, no doubt, but the integration of BPM is demanding. A less-demanding, more intutive tool like Winshuttle or even AR Projekt that hooks in to SAP might be a simpler option

• With this technology, you don't have to rely on experts all the time to design functional processes, which is a big plus for me.
• There is a superb support team and expert services, and they'll get you up and running in no time.
• Our document management system has been enhanced, and it now updates and maintains itself more quickly.

• Integrated well with SAP ERP/CRM
• Comes with adequate tools that help define business rules/processes and also monitoring them and managing exceptions

• There is some difficulty in understanding the training material. Make it easier to understand how to use key features in real-world work situations by providing more thorough examples or videos.
• Custom scripts would benefit from greater online training and certification options.
• The user interface is a nightmare to work with. It could take anywhere from five to ten clicks to move a file to a new subfolder.

• Live readings would be nice.
• Easier to maneuver
• Work with all systems with the press of one keystroke

As a big fan of SAP in general, the BPM solution fits right in with all the other things SAP does well, and does it with incredible efficiency

We have our own tech support for systems, I would say they probably could use more training on it, I don't really think it's anything regarding the SAP system, but more the knowledge they have on the system itself. It seems to take longer for them to fix any issues we may come across.

Using AODocs, we can solve difficult business procedures immediately. Regular updates bring new capabilities to the platform. This workflow engine is superior to all others I've used in SharePoint and Nintex over the years. Until now, I (we) have not encountered a business problem that we couldn't solve. AODocs is a top-notch service.

I found the initial setup of NetWeaver is much simpler than other products especially in an SAP environment where we have SAP ERP/HRM/CRM as it can be well integrated with other SAP products. The only drawback is the need/dependency on SAP Portal. It is better suited in an environment where SAP ERP is running.
