When Eelco Vissinga founded BPM Company in 2011, his primary goal was to share a passion for innovative technology with a small group of like-minded people. Since then, BPM Company has become a leading Pega partner for companies looking to make the digital transition. In this blog, Eelco talks about the unique delivery method that sets us apart in the market, how we help organizations embrace technological change, and the DNA of the people behind BPM Company. He also takes a look at the company’s future.
Vision and inspiration
When I founded BPM Company in 2011, my idea was simple: bring together a group of like-minded people who share a passion for new technologies and innovative software solutions. My goal was not to grow quickly, but to use innovative external software platforms to help organizations innovate. We started with a focus on the Pega platform, but over the years we expanded our expertise to other platforms such as Mendix, Pega Launchpad and Appian. This diversification allowed us to offer organizations a broader spectrum of solutions. Over time, I did decide to house our expertise in Mendix and Appian in two separate companies, Mendify and AppEffect. This way, each team can focus on a particular technology and thus offer our clients more focused and specialized services. Each platform has its own unique features and applications, which allows us to offer organizations a customized solution for every challenge. Many consulting firms focus on maximizing hours. Instead, we strive to create value by working smarter and more efficiently, with fewer people.
Unique delivery method
Our delivery method is unique because of our people. Their shared drive to provide innovative solutions and help customers in a unique way is the foundation of our approach. This focus has led us to develop our own best practices in using the Pega platform over the years. We have created our own Academy to train our employees in this unique approach. In this way, we have not only built a knowledge advantage, but also ensured that we maintain it. A passion for technology, a relentless drive for innovation and improvement, and our focus on quality and efficiency, these are the core of our DNA and make us distinctive. So I think it’s very important to keep that spirit of innovation we had in the beginning alive within our company.
Embracing technological change
BPM Company helps organizations embrace technological change by consciously choosing to use third-party innovations. In doing so, you kind of have to have a nose for which platforms are leading the way. That’s why we chose Pega, which invests significantly in both the platform itself and their network. This partnership allows us to constantly deliver the most up-to-date technologies very quickly. For example, Pega is leading the way in the application of GenAI with a tool like Pega Blueprint, where the design of a process application is easily generated based on a set of parameters entered by a business analyst. This reduces the design phase of an application from several months to just a few days.
Personal involvement and leadership
As the founder and ultimately responsible manager, I have learned to take a step back from the day-to-day operations. This is the only way I can focus on long-term strategies and innovation. Of course I have a clear opinion and vision, but I need space to think about the future of the company and to develop new ideas. The famous work án your company rather than in your company. At the same time, I make sure that I stay well informed about the day-to-day business through effective structures and reporting systems. Hiring people who fit well within the company’s DNA is therefore crucial.
Future vision for BPM Company
Looking to the future, our focus remains on supporting organizations in their digital transformations. The theme stays the same, but the way this happens is currently changing rapidly. The key factor in this is the rise of the application possibilities of GenAI. With GenAI applications, it becomes much faster, easier, and therefore more economically feasible to replace outdated systems with new cloud applications that better fit a modern architecture. Operating costs can drop drastically, and systems become more flexible, able to grow with the changing needs of organizations. This shift towards a more GenAI-driven approach marks the beginning of a new phase in our business development. We are actively investing in building knowledge of new application possibilities. This is not only a response to changing market demands, but also a reflection of our ongoing commitment to providing innovative and future-proof solutions to our clients.
