This talk will present some of the key success/failure factors in past efforts at process improvement by automation and then discuss how these factors apply to implementing BPMS in today's organizations. We will explore the similarities and differences between the process automation of the past 25 years and why it is even more critical in the current business environment to recognize a new way of applying information systems to not just automate business processes, but more importantly to "informate" the work of the "processor" and the manager.

Business flexibility requires that companies be responsive...responsive to customers, suppliers, the market, and competitive threats. But how can you respond if you don't know where you are? And if you don't know where you are, how can you decide where you are going? Business Innovation and Optimization helps you not only to understand clearly the state of your business today, right now, but also to anticipate customer demand, competitor's moves, and market dynamics.
It takes much more than basic BPM functionality to implement an effective BPM solution. While business process modeling, automation and management are key capabilities; you also need application integration, B2B communications, portal, Business Activity Monitoring and Master Data Management functionality in order to create a framework that can fully support your BPM requirements.
In the first webinar, we'll discuss that to be able to truly compete in the 21st century, organizations have to be able to react quickly to changing business conditions, be flexible in approaches to competition and manage resources effectively.
This webinar will address how to create and manage the evolution of a process-centric culture within your organization that makes your business better suited to compete in today's world of extreme competition. Attendees will learn how best practices, centers of excellence and real execution sponsorship are becoming the critical success factors for the 21st century's industry leaders.
