In today’s economic climate, companies demand higher productivity, better cost control, and improved risk management to cope with frequent market changes and increasing competitive pressure. To deliver continuous business improvement and operational excellence, companies need to focus on their processes and manage them well. Business Process Management (BPM) is a holistic management approach, a continuous process improvement engine that promotes business effectiveness and efficiency while striving for innovation, flexibility, and integration with technology.

BPM can benefit organizations in a number of significant ways:
  • Centralize the control of human resources, systems, and processes
  • Create visibility into end-to-end business processes that are currently dispersed between multiple systems and locations
  • Enable the agility to rapidly adjust processes and react to regulatory and business changes
  • Provide efficiency through automation and by removing the white spaces between activities and processes, providing out-of-the-box functionality for continuous process improvement.
There are four major factors that drive companies to implement BPM. This  blog  will describe these drivers, what types of companies would benefit from them.
