The topic of business process management (BPM) is particularly timely given the need for clarifying process structures and their improvements. Not much emphasis has been placed on the relationships among BPM methodologies and the techniques and tools used to support BPM.
Business process is the skeleton of business activity. IT is a set of coordinated tasks and activities, conducted by both people and equipment that will lead to accomplishing a specific organizational goal. BPM is a systematic approach to improving those processes. The Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI), a non-profit corporation, empowers companies of all sizes, across all industries, to develop and operate business processes that span multiple applications and business partners, behind the firewall and over the Internet. To this end, the organization has developed the Business Process Modeling Language, an Extensible Markup Language (XML)-based meta-language for modeling business processes.
The main motive in outsourcing a modeling business process is to allow the business to invest most of their time, financial, and human resources into core activities and focus on building effective strategies, which will fuel the growth of the company.
Since the global marketplace is fast-changing and highly-competitive, organizations are concentrating on improving productivity while trimming down unnecessary costs. Non-core business processes are being outsourced since the tasks involved in these processes consumes time, essential resources, and energy. Thus, outsourcing these non-core business processes will help you achieve a cost-efficient system. One such organization to help organizations with their project management needs, offering project portfolio management, program management and business analysis solutions is Minneapolis, MN based Project Consulting Group, (PCG). More recently touted for its Project Delivery On-Demand solutions, PCG is finding that many organizations today are trying to get more value from their existing technology investments, such as optimizing Sharepoint applications, and have helped numerous companies to do just that by delivering to them a strategic framework that integrates people, process, technology and culture.
According to Jamie Fragola, founder and Co-Chairman of Project Consulting Group, “Organizations today need greater visibility, increased collaboration and flexible frameworks to tackle more work without killing the budget. Organizations we have been working with have made huge strides in harnessing the power of their existing Sharepoint applications for example, and building upon Sharepoint as a platform to achieve company goals faster through already made technology investments. In fact, there are many organizations that aren’t even aware they have certain capabilities they can turn on with very minimal resources.”
According to Rob Koplowitz, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, ”driven by the need to better manage unstructured information for business benefit and risk mitigation, collaboration platforms like Microsoft's SharePoint and IBM Lotus Notes are uniquely positioned to help information and knowledge management (I&KM) professionals build collaboration applications.”
