What is a BPMS (Business Process Management System)?
- A BPMS enables the automation of processes involving combinations of human and machine-based activities where information is passed between human and machines according to a defined set of rules to achieve, or contribute to, an overall business goal. A BPMS defines, manages and executes “workflows” through the execution of software whose order of execution is driven by a machine representation of the workflow logic.
Capabilities a BPMS enables
- A BPMS can provide a business with the following key capabilities:
- Improved operational efficiency through the automation of manual processes reducing process cost/time
- Facilitates analysis of bottlenecks, cycle times, allowing for process improvement opportunities
- Compliance to regulatory and audit needs by ensuring the system drives user behaviour
- Insights into a customer’s experience by measuring the number of exceptions and degree of variation in a business process
- Process agility allowing the business to quickly identify and change processes and in particular business rules in response to customers and markets.
Moving the business into the digital age
- Businesses are looking to continually adapt and transform to gain a competitive advantage with a strong focus on automation of processes, the addition of intelligence into processes, elimination of paper and self-serving channels.
- Businesses struggle in their pursuit of this transformation include:
-
Inability to track processes – customers and internal stakeholders are often unaware of where a particular order is up to in its fulfilment for example
-
Inefficient operational procedures – the time and cost to perform tasks is damaging to a brand
-
Highly repetitive and laborious manual tasks
-
An inability to analyse poor process performance as processes cross organisational silos without an end-to-end process owner
-
An inability to monitor and report on a customer journey and their associated experience
