Types of BPM (4/4)

Integration-Centric Human-Centric Document-Centric
Document-Centric BPM

This type of BPM centers around a specific document, such as a contract. When companies
purchase a product or service, it needs to go through different forms and rounds of approval
to develop an agreement between the client and vendor.

As the name suggests, document-centric business processes are those where a document
is the main thing being created. Think of a legal document, blog post, or any document that
goes through multiple rounds of revision.

Improved Business Agility Changing and optimizing an organization’s business processes
is necessary to keep up with the market conditions. BPM allows organizations to pause
business processes, implement changes, and re-execute them. Altering workflows, as well
as reusing and customizing them, enables business processes to become more responsive
and gives the organization deeper insights into the effects that process modifications have.
With the help of the BPM practice, companies focus on their own processes and anchor
them comprehensively in their own operations. In this way, processes can be systematically
aligned with the requirements of customers as well as the goals of the organization and
make a significant contribution to success.

Higher Efficiency A business process management tool eradicates bottlenecks, which

significantly reduces costs over time. An effect of this can be a reduction in lead times for
product sales, giving customers quick access to services and products, which leads to
higher sales and improved revenue. BPM solutions can also allocate and track resources to
reduce waste, which can also reduce costs and lead to higher profits.
The integration of business processes brings the potential for end-to-end improvement in
process efficiency. With the right information, process owners can closely monitor delays
and allocate additional resources if needed. Automation and the removal of re petitive
tasks, add to more efficiencies in the business process

Better Visibility Continuous monitoring and visualization of workflows in real time is a
prerequisite for subsequent optimization. The data obtained enables, for example, a
target/actual comparison, establishes average values and reveals possible deviations.
BPM enables automation while ensuring real-time monitoring of key performance metrics.
This enhanced transparency leads to better management and the ability to modify
structures and processes efficiently while tracking outcomes.

Compliance, Safety, and Security A comprehensive BPM guarantees that organizations

comply with standards and stay up to date with the law. BPM can also promote safety and
security measures by properly documenting procedures and facilitating compliance. As a
result, organizations can encourage their staff to safeguard organization assets, such as
private information and physical resources from misuse, loss, or theft.

Automation and optimization of business processes Smoothly running processes

significantly increase the quality of performance in operations. With automated processes,
the cycle times of individual process steps are reduced and the need for insights and
controls is minimized, saving companies valuable time every day.

Transparent and consistently documented end-to-end business processes All
business processes are clearly documented so that it is clear at all times how the processes
run and who is currently working on which task. This transparency in the end-to-end
processes makes it possible to identify optimization and automation potential at an early
stage and implement it in a meaningful way.

Efficient workflow management and system combinations With BPM, companies

design, test, implement and establish interactions between people, data and systems. They
can set up business workflows to facilitate process execution and combine different
systems.

More transparency thanks to reduced system and process complexity

If previously manual process steps are restructured, the number of people involved is
usually reduced as well, so that there are fewer interfaces in the process. This not only
minimizes the complexity of the process landscape, but also leads to greater stability and
transparency.

Business Process Automation (BPA) Vs Management (BPM) (1/2)

Business process automation (BPA) and business process management (BPM) are related,
and in some ways complementary, but they’re not the same. BPA is about automating
processes, while BPM is about managing processes, which may or may not involve
automation. Simply put, all BPA can be considered to be a form of BPM, but not all BPM may
include BPA.

Business Process Automation (BPA) refers to any method that is used to streamline
business processes through automation. It can take on a wide variety of applications and
tools that aim to achieve gains in productivity, agility, efficiency, and compliance in the day-
to-day tasks of a business.

BPM, on the other hand, is a systematic approach to improving business processes. When
it is successfully implemented, everyone understands better how they contribute to the
achievement of organizational goals. This generally leads to a happier, more produ ctive
workforce, which tends to result in happier customers, higher revenues, and lower costs.

Business Process Automation (BPA) Vs Management (BPM) (2/2)

Business processes that are suitable for automation are typically those that are started by a
specific, triggering event. For example, the filing of an expense report may trigger a pre -
defined series of steps that ends when the employee receiving reimbursement in their bank
account.

Common examples of processes that benefit from BPA include:

 Employee onboarding and offboarding
 Vacation requests
 HR requests
 Expense filing
 New equipment requests
 IT support requests
