ULTIMUS BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT (BPM) SUITE
What is BPM?
BPM stands for Business Process Management. BPM is the discipline of modelling, automating, managing, and then using the metrics from the automation mechanism, optimising business processes.
How will Process Automation speed up my business?
A successful BPM initiative, which includes the right mix of business leadership and technology, enables significant reduction in cycle times – sometimes as much as 90% – and costs. This is particularly true for processes that cross departments, applications and users. From a technology perspective, an independent BPM system can easily integrate with existing applications – such as CRM, ERP, and ECM – without requiring a wholesale system redesign.
How does BPM improve the quality?
Beyond the time and cost benefits, organisations that have implemented BPM have also realised several other key benefits.
1. The loss or misfiling of forms and documents, occasions of key information being omitted or required reviews not occurring, are dramatically reduced or eliminated.
2. Visibility of process activity is dramatically improved. All process participants are empowered to understand not only their role in the process, but exactly how work flows and the status of each process at any time.
3. With visibility comes true accountability, with complete and open knowledge of what is due when. Excuses related to delays, misunderstandings, or simple oversights go away.
4. Consistency improves, providing internal and external parties with a clear set of expectations. The end result is increased employee, customer and partner satisfaction and loyalty.
