Three pillars of BPM

Technolog
y

People

Process

 Technology: The significance of IT innovation is immediately connected with how strongly


technology aligns with business-specific demands. BPM has always focused on people and
processes and has advanced into a digital transformation enabler by computing technology to
the equation.
 People: Employee-customer relations underpin just about every aspect of business success.
Keeping customers satisfied and engaged has become an essential competitive differentiator
between today’s businesses. And undoubtedly people are the center of these relationships.
This is what you can achieve with BPM solutions as it helps in connecting people, processes
and technologies.
 Processes: A process is a set of activities or transactions that are completed consistently. Or
we can define the process that potentially include internal and external users, demand input
from multiple stakeholders, require a variety of data types, incorporate repetitive workflows
that can be automated.
Goals of BPM
 Combine information for timely easy access, analysis and improvement.
 Automatically synchronize information fed into the system.
 Design customized digital models for the process unique scenarios.
 Keep track of all employees and enforce changes you make to the system.
 System will alert of existing loopholes and inefficiencies, since it also keeps track of the
processes.

Lifecycle of BPM
The BPM Life Cycle is an iterative set of activities done in six phases. This means that the cycle
can be repeated, instead of ending once the final phase is over.
