There is significant increased interest in applying Business Process Management (BPM) technology to solve business problems. Not surprisingly, an increasing number of technical and business people alike are asking how to take BPM applications to the next level. This presentation will outline the pros and cons of the two principal methods of taking BPM from small-scale departmental applications to enterprise level applications; the bubble-up and the enterprise-view approaches. The following aspects of each approach will be addressed: scope of effort, key considerations, benefits and pitfalls.
Organizations typically undertake periodic process improvement that are focused on specific business processes and may or may not align with the business strategy. In order to realize all the benefits of sometimes disparate BPM efforts, there needs to be an ongoing, organization-wide effort to assess and measure the results and continue to use the successful implementations. A process portfolio is the answer.
The core of a business's integrity lies within its policies and rules and their management. The rules must be separated business processes if an organization is to know what the rules are, where the rules guide business decisions, and anticipated business impact when rules change. This presentation offers a practical approach for integrating a business rules approach, especially where BPM and BRE technology come together.
In this presentation, DeShoran Smith, 1199/SEIU National Benefit Fund, will share a case study presentation on how a self-administered, self-insured non-profit was able tosolve an out-of-control paperwork problem by placing the Fund's workflow under the control of Business Process Management (BPM) software, and replacing paper folders with electronic folders and digital images of member correspondence and other documents. Smith will discuss why the Fund turned to a BPM solution and how an Imaging/Retrieval system was also integrated into its processes.
What have we learned from early efforts to implement business process management solutions? What types of problems have implementation teams run into and how did they overcome them? How can organizations best prepare for the introduction of this new technology? This session will look at case studies from organizations in multiple sectors and provide insight to emerging best practices.
This session will examine Coors Brewing Company’s path towards successful process management, specific areas to be covered include:
How the Coors BPM approach supports its strategic goals. How Coors institutionalizes process excellence. Where Coors is going next with BPM.
While they sound the same on the surface, BPM software solutions don't all do the same thing. Each offering is optimized for a specific set of processes, integration requirements, human interface requirements, exception handling requirements, and performance management requirements, and each makes specific assumptions about the roles and required skills of process designers. Using illustrations from leading BPM offerings, this talk shows how to find the software that fits your particular needs.
Seeking operational excellence, leading companies are integrating and optimizing end-to-end business processes spanning functional silos and crossing traditional IT systems' boundaries. In addition to requiring a good integration strategy this trend is forcing companies to adopt process orientation and explore Business Process Management as a technology to orchestrate, optimize and increase the flexibility of critical business processes.
Ok, now you’ve gotten a lot of terrific information about BPM and it’s potential application within your enterprise. Where do you start? What are the critical success factors and the obvious traps to avoid? This presentation positions you to go back to your organization and begin a BPM suite selection and implementation project while increasing the odds for success.
Rex Johnson, VP and Chief Technologist at First Data Corporation will illustrate the use of Business Process Management (BPM) technologies within First Data. Rex will illustrate with specific projects how over the past 10 years, BPM and specifically the use of process modeling has reduced and/or helped First Data avoid costs. He'll go further to illustrate how modeling technology and particular approaches such as simulation has helped his team analyze and optimize certain processes. Finally, Rex will discuss the internal challenges he faces in terms of the adoption of BPM technology.
