IT Issues Business Process Management

Overview

Dynamic business processes & models enable organisations to optimise business performance and rapidly respond to changes in competitive, economic, and market conditions. By continuously improving key business processes across systems and people with business process management (BPM) and a solid business strategy, businesses can streamline operations, create agile business models, and reduce enterprise costs.

Business Mashups Optimise Business Process Management

In this Biz Tech Reports podcast, Doing More With Less, Jerry Cuomo, an IBM fellow and Vice President and Chief Technology Officer for WebSphere, helps you understand the implications of business mashups for business process management (BPM).

Learn how concepts like "Smart SOA" and collaborative "Business Space" can

• align interactions between IT and business leaders, and
• create an environment where emerging requirements are identified quickly and business process are adapted accordingly.

Reduce operating costs

According to Aberdeen Group, organisations drove an average of 26 percent year-over-year reductions in operating costs by leveraging process management strategies.

Business mashups can help you optimise process management to eliminate redundant processes and manage complexity to reduce costs and develop a springboard for growth.

Smart Work

Ordinary to Extraordinary

What can nearly 300 executives teach you about what separates outperforming organisations from their peers? Quite a bit.

According to a new study from the IBM Institute for Business Value, outperforming companies distinguish themselves in the way they approach their work, respond to change, gather information and use technology. Learn how.

Key findings of this study:

• Outperforming organisations are more than three times as likely to have adopted smarter working practices than their lower-performing peers. And they’re doing so to fuel growth, not just drive efficiency”.
• Across organisations, the three most pronounced capability gaps blocking greater agility are: process and skill reconfiguration, broader and more embedded collaboration, and data integration and real-time analysis.
• The most dynamic, collaborative and connected companies have widely adopted specific technologies that make smarter working practices viable.

Download this study and find out more about this emergence of a smarter way of working -- a way built on greater agility among people and processes. Learn how ordinary companies can become extraordinary and bring out the best in yourself and your organisation.
