bpm’online and Salesforce are two CRM platforms with a heavy focus on automated workflow. Business Process Management, or BPM software, is revolutionizing the direction CRM companies are headed with their products. BPM software initiates and carries out “workflows” in any given CRM platform.

Since Salesforce has come out with ‘Lightning’ (their latest CRM interface), it has incorporated BPM notation and automation into the platform. This differs from bpm’online, which is a BPM-first tool with built in CRM, marketing and customer service modules. bpm’online is rapidly becoming the “Salesforce of Europe” and is actually a bigger company overall than leading Salesforce competitors like SugarCRM.
