BPM Services Introduction to Business Process Management (BPM)

What is BPM? Is it just another new marketing term or does it have more substance? And what impact can it have on YOUR business? BPM can be described as a combination of consultancy services and software to improve business processes and drive efficiencies. This is a subtle but different approach from generic software packages that try to accommodate as wide a range of business processes as possible, to appeal to a wide audience. They are monolithic, inflexible, time consuming and very expensive to maintain and change. BPM is different. It looks at business processes first and then enables software to be rapidly developed to fit specific and personal processes. Subsequent modification is also easy, fast and cost effective. It also addresses integration and inter-operability of People, Process and Technology far more effectively than traditional packages can. This article is available to download as a PDF document here.
