BPM: A step toward innovation

Business Process Management (BPM) has enough to recommend it on its own, but it can also play an important role in ensuring that the organization is on the cutting edge. Because it forces executives to be more aware of the processes within the company, it drives discipline, a necessary precursor to innovation. In fact, many BPM projects are undertaken to make businesses more innovative and agile, a change from just a few years ago when they were cost-motivated. BPM can also help SOA gain traction, because BPM builds services-oriented business applications that bind together many services into a process. But BPM is only as good as the people running it. With intelligent and insightful people at the helm, you'll get more intelligence and process out of your systems.
