Harness and integrate unstructured information with business processes
What is our primary use case?
We have an in-house management solution that is built on top of IBM Case Foundation. For this reason, we have to be up-to-date with the current versions. Within my organization, including engineers and the testing team, there are about 70 employees. If we include our clients that we assist with deployment and training, then we are talking about tens of thousands of people. For each project, our development team consists of a few project managers, one systems engineer, and a few developers.Pros and Cons
- "The content management is great."
- "90% of the feedback we receive states that the UI is not very user-friendly."
What other advice do I have?
I would definitely recommend this solution. On a scale from one to ten, I would give IBM Case Foundation a rating of eight.

A versatile product that can work with many different technologies
What is our primary use case?
I am a consultant and this is one of the solutions that I work with. This product is used by very large production companies for creating workflows.Pros and Cons
- "It is easy to set up workflows that notify the user depending on certain events."
- "Once a workflow is launched then it stays static forever, which is a problem because if there is a change in the business then you cannot change the workflow."
What other advice do I have?
My advice for anybody who is implementing Case Foundation is to keep the design as simple as possible because the workflows are very static. If you try to change it a lot, you will make it very complex and you will have problems. You should use and maintain business rules outside of the main workflow because if you have some rule that changes then the workflow stays the same, most of the time. Overall, this is a good product. I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.

Business Solution Architect at a tech services company
Stable and scalable but is about to be phased out by IBM
What is our primary use case?
We primarily use the solution in relation to the designing process for clients.Pros and Cons
- "The solution is scalable."
- "The service as it currently stands is out-of-date and lacks flexibility."
What other advice do I have?
We use the on-premises deployment model. We're an IBM partner. We have about six projects ongoing in which we are implementing the solution for clients. As this solution is being phased out, I'd advise others to go with something newer. Also, be sure you do a proper design study before implementing a solution. I'd rate the solution six out of ten. In terms of rolling out deployments, it's good and there aren't really any bugs. However, it has a general lack of features.reviewer1266117

What other advice do I have?
