Mark RaskinoBusiness process management (BPM) is a management discipline that requires organizations to shift to process-centric thinking and reduce their reliance on traditional function-centric organizational structures. BPM helps organizations manage the revision cycles of business processes, from process design to monitoring and optimization. It also helps organizations modify processes more frequently and effectively in response to rapidly evolving circumstances. Such rapid change is impractical when processes are embedded in conventional applications, but BPM offers a new approach to application development, where business processes are made visible. BPM technologies enable business managers to abstract process flows and rules from underlying applications and to change them directly. BPM is an IT-enabled management discipline that dramatically changes how businesses manage their operational processes.
