About Business Process Management (BPM)

BPM is a management approach focused on aligning all aspects of an organization with the needs and wants of clients. It is a holistic management approach that promotes business efficiency and effectiveness while striving for innovation, flexibility, and integration with technology. Business process management attempts to improve processes continuously. BPM enables organizations to be more efficient, more effective and more capable of change than a functionally focused, traditional hierarchical management approach.
