This webcast - the fifth in a five-part series - will review the findings of BPMInstitute.org's State of Business Process ManagementSM Research with a specific focus on the issues, challenges and solutions associated with BPM-applications in the Financial Services sector. It will explain how Financial Services companies are using business process management solutions to drive differentiation and business results by more effectively engaging with agents, brokers, customers and employees. Results from a BPM Institute survey to understand what financial services companies are doing to accelerate customer acquisition across all their products and improve customer service with consistent, personalized service across all channel touchpoints (web, branch office, independent agents).

In July 2006, BPMInstitute.org initiated a survey of its 24,000 member community to gain an understanding of how enterprises across a range of industries are pursuing business process innovation and improvement and to what degree these activities are strategically aligned to the companies' business transformation and growth objectives.

The survey obtained critical insight into how corporations approach business process management and improvement initiatives, evaluate and acquire BPM infrastructure and deployment expertise, and manage and deploy BPM-enabled solutions. In addition, it examined current and future requirements, deployment stages and time frames, budgets and allocations, and perceived benefits and drivers.

The survey surfaced business process management trends and established benchmarks for enterprises to evaluate their process improvement programs against industry best practices. It learned what role BPM is playing for improving composite application creation around business processes, how process-driven and rules-driven application customization has been improved, what metrics are being designed to measure business results from BPM initiatives, and what specific technologies, methodologies and standards are being using for BPM projects.
