The BPM assessments attempt to look at vendors' BPM offerings (including services, best practice materials and so on) rather than just being product reviews - so in IBM's case we looked at the whole of what it positions as its "BPM Suite" - and that includes both the WebSphere "Edition" and the FileNet "Edition". Yes it is confusing, and that's part of the story we wanted to tell. The in-depth IBM assessment report is 30+ pages long as a result. The report you refer to is the summary report that brings together the high level findings across our more in-depth vendor-specific reports. I'd encourage anyone who's serious about exploring this stuff to read those vendor-specific reports as well as the summary. Hi Sandy,
