Enterprise service Bus eliminates point-to-point integrations
IBM Business Process Management (BPM)
More scalable processes & Greater transparency
IBM BPM Enterprise Service Bus eliminates point-to-point integrations and batch processing improving business flexibility and smart interoperability of systems regardless of platform, protocol, or data format. Our services include developing mature integration solutions utilizing SOA, SOI, and EAI methods which promotes agility and flexibility in the integration of applications.
Business process management (BPM), as defined by Gartner (link resides outside IBM), employs methods to discover, model, analyze, measure, improve and optimize business strategy and processes. While it is sometimes confused with task and project management, its scope is broader than these adjacent topics. Task management focuses on individual tasks whereas BPM observes the whole end-to-end process. Project management refers to a one-time scope of work while BPM focuses specifically on processes that are repeatable. Through continuous process reengineering, organizations can streamline their overall workflows, leading to increased efficiencies and cost-savings. This concept isn’t new; six sigma and lean principles are examples of BPM methodologies.
By incorporating advanced analytics, activity monitoring, and decision management capabilities, business process management suites are able to coordinate people, systems, and information and material to achieve business outcomes. As a result, they have been particularly helpful in accelerating digital transformation strategies.
There are three main types of business process management:
Integration-centric BPM:
This type of BPM focuses on processes that do not require much human involvement. These processes are more dependent on APIs and mechanism which integrate data across systems, like human resource management (HRM) or customer relationship management (CRM)
Human-centric BPM
Unlike integration-centric BPM, this type centers around human involvement, typically where approvals are required. Intuitive user interfaces with drag-and-drop features allow teams to assign tasks to different roles, making it easier to hold individuals accountable along the process.
Document-centric BPM
This type of BPM centers around a specific document, such as a contract. When companies purchase a product or service, it needs to go through different forms and rounds of approval to develop an agreement between the client and vendor.
