ARIS Process Platform
There are business processes in every company, regardless of size and industry. There is not a single company, which does not have business processes. The internal and inter-company processes are the company’s nervous system, which - when maintained and optimized - generate competitiveness and ensure its survival in the marketplace. Ultimately, companies aim to respond more quickly to the customer than its competitors, and to be more flexible to changing market conditions. Constant cost pressure on the company and customers’ demands for quality round off the catalog of market demands.
Against this background Business Process Management stands for continuous adjustment of business processes and thus of the organization and IT landscape to meet market demands. Business Process Management runs from recording processes, including analysis and optimization, through to implementation of software followed by automated monitoring and measuring of the processes and their key performance indicators. This in turn permits further adjustments to the demands of the marketplace and the company. Business Process Management is thus a closed loop.
How does Business Process Management work?
Business Process Management is the necessary precondition for improving competitiveness and the ability to innovate. It has a direct impact on product introduction processes (time to market, innovation), production and service processes (customer orientation, earnings contribution/profit, and quality), support processes (lower overhead, satisfied employees) and management and controlling processes (change management, strategy).
Successful Business Process Management (BPM) comprises of 3 steps: Design, implementation (application to IT) and controlling (measurement and evaluation) of business processes. BPM needs to be anchored in the organizational structure, requires a professional and efficient management process and demands involvement of all the relevant target groups. However, the thus enabled exploitation of improvement potential must not remain a one-off action because over the course of time only a closed loop can generate sustained and lasting competitive advantages – a genuine Business Process Lifecycle. The success of such a procedure depends on the company’s process orientation and the continuity with which it is applied. This is how successful Business Process Management works.
