What is Business Process Management (BPM)?
Business process management (BPM), as defined by Gartner, is a discipline that uses various
tools and methods to design, model, execute, monitor, and optimize business processes. A
business process coordinates the behavior of people, systems, information, and things to
produce business outcomes in support of a business strategy.
BPM focuses on putting a consistent, automated process in place for routine transactions and
human interactions. It helps to reduce the business’s operational costs by decreasing waste and
rework, and by increasing the overall efficiency of the team.
Organizations engaged in BPM can choose to follow one of the various BPM methodologies,
