Business Process Management (BPM): Enabling Responsiveness for the “Moment of Truth” Customer Interactions

By Dick Weisinger

Globally Business Process Management (BPM) software is expected to reach $2.7 billion this year, an increase of 4.4 percent over last year, according to Gartner.

Four trends that Gartner sees in the BPM market are:

  • Business Transformation.  BPM can be used to improve existing processes but it can also be applied strategically at a higher big-picture level, allowing business to reinvent themselves.  It sounds like a shift back to the idea of re-engineering that was popular in the mid-90’s.
  • Support for Internet of Things.  Processes will increasingly include non-human elements in the workflow.  These may include things like sensors, robots and smart machines, and even things like smart meters, security cameras, mobile and monitoring devices.
  • Manage Long-lived Processes.  BPM can manage both short-lived transactional processes and long-lived business processes.  Gartner sees BPM increasingly focusing on managing longer-term processes.
  • Integration with Mobile, Social, Cloud and Analytics.

Rob Dunie, research director, Gartner, said that BPM “supports business responsiveness, often at the ‘moment of truth’ in a customer interaction.”

    For me working with a BMP software definitely made a difference. I think that way more people should know about it. Can you make a bigger blog about this subject?
