BPM: How it works

In a recent article at BPM Enterprise, Michael Beckley sat down to discuss what he believes BPM is and how it works. His definition:

"Business process management is a method and technology for automating and analyzing how people and systems interact. It's a new way to provide visibility into how people and technology need to be coordinated."

And what are the benefits/goals of BPM? You can see all of your data in your business processes. It’s also easier to coordinate data so the business is more effectively run when using this data. BPM puts users in charge of the data system, and they are no longer at the mercy of unorganized data. Not only does it help users analyze processes across departments, but it also the technology and resources that help power effective BPM.
