We took quickly the decision to migrate from on premise to cloud pak but the platform was not mature enough and not provide the same functionality to ease the transition for users.

IBM Cloud Pak for Business Automation Likes & Dislikes

what we like most is the platform's flexibility and comprehensive automation capabilities it allows us to streamline complex business processes integrate easily with existing systems and gain better visibility and control over workflows all while being supported by IBM's responsive team

IT management for our Content Management and BAW workflows got simplified and with the same resources we can focus on our next steps for automation.

It is comprehensive, allows us to automate workflows and general business processes in one area and it also integrates seamlessly with the rest of our infrastructure. Users find it easy to work with and whilst I wasn't involved in the initial setup, ongoing use by myself and other users is positive.

The main challenge is the initial learning curve. Some features can be complex to set up and require time to fully understand but with guidance from IBM's support team it becomes much easier to use effectively

The implementation of the suite using Azure cloud platform and Redhat was not as expected because of product minor bugs, required several workarounds executed by the IBM partner including plenty of IBM support time than expected.

The implementation process is lengthy and users took a while to be fully trained on the platform however this is to be expected with the size of our organisation and trying to consolidate processes. The pricing structure when we come to renewals can be complex, it takes many areas of the business to work through approvals but again, not uncommon for a business of our size with multiple infrastructures across multiple areas of the group.

Consolidated Workflow Platform Eases Business Processes Amid Complex Pricing and Training

Mar 20, 2026
We have used Cloud Pak for years in the business, mainly for workflow and document processing. As a user I like the fact it means we can consolidate processes into a single platform and allows us to seamlessly integrate with other areas of the business, including other IBM services and non-IBM services. Automation has been key for scalability and growth over the last 5 years for our business and IBM Cloud Pak, and other IBM services have allowed us to do this in anger.
