Off the shelf stuff? There are lots of options, but it seems like the gene=
ral opinion of the IT groups I've worked with is that it's just as much wor=
k to customize and integrate them as it is to write from scratch so we tend=
to get further way from COTS all the time.
You should take a look at Metasolv (now part of Oracle, I believe). We use=
d it in one of our P&L regions for some regional products for over a decade=
and I was always impressed by how quickly they could roll out new workflow=
s and products in it since much of the customization work could be done by =
a business process architect rather than having to be coded by a developer.
We've also used Granite, which is from Telcordia, but I don't have enough d=
irect or indirect experience to have an opinion on whether or not it's any =
good.
