Business Process Management (BPM)

In today's rapidly changing environment, companies need to know what is “happening” as it happens (or even before it is about to happen). If there is a problem, then they need to know how to find it and fix it. Immediate access to accurate and measurable information about the business conditions under which a decision is about to be made, is what turns those decisions into meaningful actions. This need, which extends beyond the four walls to trading partners up and down the supply chain, includes the effective presentation of information, real-time alerts about impending events, and the ability to take corrective action in a timely manner.

Business Process Management (BPM) is a set of tools that help organizations optimize their business performance. It is a framework and toolset to organize, automate and analyze business activities, metrics, processes and systems that drive business performance.

BPM combines workflow, business rules management, performance metrics and modeling / analytic tools to better plan, measure, analyze, and run a business. It is about having all of the information in one place so you will know both the cause and the effect of a business action, when and where it occurred, and what to do to make timely adjustments.  BPM brings information and metrics together to form what is known as having "the single version of the truth."
