HAT IS BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT
?

Business processes are the nerve center of any organization and involve interactions between people and technologies. Organizations are striving to be ahead of the competition by continuously refining and improving their process, only to be held back by the limits of their technologies and enterprise architecture. Only agile organizations able to quickly improve or re-invent ways of doing business will survive in today's fast paced market.

Business Process Management (BPM) is the optimization of your business processes. It combines process design, modeling, process improvement, workflow management, measurement and relies heavily one the use of BPM tools to enable a process-centric enterprise. BPM tools allow quick process changes without the typical delays found in the translation of those requirements into support systems. Through BPM organizations are able to realize a more efficient and effective way of delivering to meet the needs of their customers.

HOW WE CAN HELP

TEAMCATAPULT - Linking IT and Business
Successful BPM projects demand an enterprise wide approach, clearly defined business processes, sufficient attention to personnel and cultural impacts, and an on-going plan for continuous process improvement.

TEAMCATAPULT operates at the juncture of the key organizational dimensions of people, process, and technology. We understand technology, but the success of technology can only be realized through an approach that addresses the organizational dimensions of people and processes first. If organizations wish to achieve agility, technology can no longer drive the business. Business must drive the technology.

TEAMCATAPULT'S solutions involve a review of the rationale behind the work, the logic of information flows, the logic of who participates and in what sequence, and the development of alternatives for improvement. Business Process Improvement or Business Process Reengineering often should precede or parallel development of technology applications because of the opportunities for improvement that are inherent in the architecture, the technology, and the integration capabilities that new technologies provide.

  • Business Process Management - An iterative approach to optimizing current processes in an incremental manner.
