every day to answer my customers’ needs. My customers are from a lot of business

domains like retail, bank or public administration. Our main business problems

are to help systems to communicate correctly between each other. IBM webMethods

is a useful software for data governance.

Pros

  • It is user-friendly with his low code user interface

Cons

  • IA investment like chat bot
  • To make API building easier and faster
  • Improving Git oriented features (comparing and merging .xml files are difficult)

Return on Investment

  • + : We and our customers gain time with automatic processes
  • - : It takes a lot of time to design API
  • - : Java is slow. So we need to put a lot of time into flows improvments to reach our goals.
