Legacy BPM is Dead
Business users do not want it. IT does not want to support it. Here is what replaced it.
- 6-12 month implementations - By the time you launch, your processes have already changed.
- $100K-750K+ costs - Just to get started. Maintenance and changes cost extra.
- BPMN diagrams nobody reads - Technical flowcharts that business users ignore completely.
- IT dependency for everything - Need a small change? Submit a ticket and wait weeks.
This is what legacy BPM looks like. Nobody wants to read this.

Common Questions
What is BPM vs workflow management?
BPM (Business Process Management) is a methodology focused on IT-driven process optimization with complex BPMN diagrams. Workflow management is simpler - it focuses on getting work done by tracking tasks through defined steps. Tallyfy is workflow management made simple.
When do I actually need enterprise BPM?
Enterprise BPM makes sense when you have highly regulated industries requiring complex compliance automation, deep system integrations across legacy platforms, or processes so complex they need dedicated IT teams. For most companies under 1000 employees, it is overkill.
How is Tallyfy different from BPM software?
Tallyfy removes the complexity. No BPMN diagrams. No consultants. No IT dependency. Business users can create, run, and improve processes themselves. You get 80% of the benefit at 10% of the cost and effort.
Can Tallyfy handle complex processes?
Yes. Tallyfy handles conditionals, branching, approvals, integrations, and automations. The difference is you do not need an engineering degree to set them up. Complex processes, simple interface.
People ❤️ Tallyfy
Simple for everyone. Robust for champs.
"We can finally delegate work with confidence and focus on growing the business.
"A paper-based approval for critical purchases could take a couple of days before if someone was waiting for a director to be available for a signature. Now approvals are often completed in minutes.
"Tallyfy is intuitive, fun and visually appealing. We can quickly gather every detail we need from our client in order to finish it on time. All the documents, specific details and comments are in one place.
"Tallyfy has been transformative for us. It's reduced manual errors, sped up processes like onboarding, and helped us document workflows that are critical as we grow. The ability to track tasks and aggregate them in one place saves us so much time and ensures that nothing falls through the cracks.
"It has become a regular thing that people say 'put that in Tallyfy'. They know it by name. It has become the executive approval tool for our company. We have bi-weekly Tallyfy calls where we review what needs approval and what is pending - it keeps everyone aligned.
