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. Today, BPM Company is a Leading Pega Partner for Businesses Undergoing Digital Transformation. In This Blog, Eelco Discusses the Unique Delivery Method That Sets Us Apart, How We Help Organizations Embrace Technological Change, and the DNA of the People Behind BPM Company. He Also Looks to the Future of the Company.

Vision and Inspiration

When I founded BPM Company in 2011, my idea was simple: to bring together a group of like-minded individuals who shared a passion for new technologies and innovative software solutions. Growth wasn’t my primary goal; I wanted to help organizations innovate by leveraging external software platforms. We began with a focus on the Pega platform, but over the years, we’ve expanded our expertise to other platforms like Mendix, Pega Launchpad, and Appian. This diversification allowed us to offer a wider range of solutions to organizations. Over time, I decided to place our Mendix and Appian expertise into separate companies, Mendify and AppEffect, so each team could concentrate on a specific technology, providing more targeted and specialized services. Each platform has its own unique strengths, enabling us to offer tailored solutions for every challenge. Unlike many consultancies that focus on maximizing billable hours, we aim to create value by working smarter and more efficiently, often with fewer people.

A Unique Delivery Method

Our delivery method is unique thanks to our people. Their shared drive to deliver innovative solutions and help clients in unique ways is the foundation of our approach. This focus has led us to develop our own best practices in leveraging the Pega platform over the years. We’ve even established our own Academy to train our team in these methods. This not only gives us a competitive knowledge advantage but also helps us maintain it. A passion for technology, an unrelenting drive for innovation and improvement, and a focus on quality and efficiency are at the heart of our DNA and make us stand out. I’m committed to keeping that spirit of innovation, which we had from the start, alive within our company.

Embracing Technological Change

BPM Company helps organizations embrace technological change by deliberately choosing to leverage third-party innovations. It’s essential to have an instinct for recognizing which platforms are leading the charge. That’s why we chose Pega, a company that makes significant investments in both its platform and its ecosystem. This partnership enables us to quickly deliver cutting-edge technologies to our clients. For instance, Pega is a leader in the application of GenAI, with innovations like Pega Blueprint, where the design of a process application is automatically generated based on parameters set by a business analyst. This reduces the design phase of an application from months to mere days.

Personal Involvement and Leadership

As the founder and managing director, I’ve learned to step back from daily operations to focus on long-term strategies and innovation. Of course, I have strong opinions and a clear vision, but I need the space to think about the future of the company and develop new ideas. It’s that famous concept of working on your business rather than in your business. At the same time, I ensure that I stay well-informed about daily operations through effective structures and reporting systems. Hiring people who align with the company’s DNA is crucial to maintaining this balance.

The Future of BPM Company

Looking to the future, our focus remains on supporting organizations in their digital transformations. While the theme stays the same, the approach is evolving rapidly. The biggest shift is the rise of GenAI and its applications. With GenAI, it’s now much faster, simpler, and more economically viable to replace outdated systems with new cloud applications that fit modern architectures. Operating costs can be significantly reduced, and systems are more flexible, able to grow and adapt to changing organizational needs. This shift toward a more GenAI-driven approach marks the start of a new phase in our company’s evolution. We’re actively investing in expanding our knowledge of new GenAI applications, not only to respond to market demands but also as part of our ongoing commitment to providing innovative and future-proof solutions to our clients.
