Review in detail
The GBTEC Platform groups process design, enterprise architecture, workflow automation and governance under one brand. Its imprint gives GBTEC Software AG, Gesundheitscampus-Süd 23, 44801 Bochum, Amtsgericht Bochum HRB 9621.
A homepage item announces that BIC is now the GBTEC Platform. The pages were read on 4 November 2026.
Bochum AG and its board
The imprint names Oliver Bendig and Michael Dierks as board and gives VAT number DE 236750592.
The terms refer to offerings of EU-based GBTEC Group companies.
Navigation tour of the modules
Under Process Design the menu shows AI-powered BPM, Process Simulation and a Process Portal. Further entries are Enterprise Architecture, GRC Management and Process Intelligence.
Work Orchestrator is the part for no-code and low-code apps, workflow automation and intelligent document processing.
Modeling office or app factory
The mix leans toward modeling, architecture and risk, which fits process offices. The homepage claims more than 1,200 customers.
Appian weighs application building and automation more heavily. GBTEC's pages mention neither amounts, regions nor a free tier.
Where it falls short
We saw no amounts, trial or free tier, and neither hosting regions nor self-hosting are described. Because BIC was renamed, older manuals and partner material may still use the earlier name.
Is GBTEC right for you?
Process offices and risk functions that want modeling, workflow and GRC from a German vendor.

Questions buyers ask
GBTEC Software AG, Bochum, Amtsgericht Bochum HRB 9621.
Yes in substance. A homepage item reads BIC becomes GBTEC Platform, so the BIC product now carries the GBTEC name.
For modeling and governance work, yes. GBTEC is German; Appian Corporation sits in Tysons, Virginia, and focuses more on building applications.
