Business Process Management is a ManagementDiscipline
Business Process Management (BPM) is a management discipline that requires
organizations to shift to process-centric thinking, and to reduce their reliance on
traditional territorial and functional structures.
BPM requires and enables organizations to manage the complete revision cycles of
their processes, from process design to monitoring and optimization, and to change
them more frequently to adjust to changing circumstances.
The development of BPM technologies is enabling business managers to abstract
process flows and rules from the underlying applications and infrastructure, and to
change them directly.
BPM is neither a technology nor an updated version of BPR. It is an IT-enabled
management discipline. It represents a fundamental change in how business manage
and run their processesSource: Gartner Business Process Management Summit 2007
