BMC Corporate Directory Manager (CDM) – Ever heard if it? :-)

It is a nice workflow product that was acquired from French Company Calendra by BMC when they were into building their IdM arsenal way back in 2004. The product is very good. I’d go so far as to say that it was the best workflow tool in the “Bundled with Identity Management” category.  I used it when architecting solutions for customers using BMC Identity Management and fell in love with it. It had its idiosyncrhasies. It is definitely not the best of breed among workflow tools, in fact it will not even come close to solutions like Lombardi, it is not standards based (no WfMC, no xPDL, no BPMN), but it was tailored for a particular job (Identity related workflows) and did the job well.

It is my habit to use a tool in the RIGHT way and in the best possible manner. And so I did the same with CDM and applied them successfully at countless BMC IdM deployments. Shown below is a document that sumarrizes the best practices with the tool
