Seminar

Enabling Enterprise Business Process Management Seminar
Architecting an Agile Enterprise

In a hypercompetitive market, businesses must be more able to transform innovative ideas into reality. In practice this requires the business and IT function to operate as a single harmonious machine. Imagine an organization where executives, business analysts, functional managers and IT all share a common view of business processes and can collaborate to ensure maximum process efficiency, effectiveness and optimization.

System Architect® for Business Process Analysis (BPA) gives your organization the tools to understand, modify, review and develop better business processes and furthermore understand and communicate them in a wider context of the enterprise. In support of broad business process management (BPM) initiatives, System Architect has a unique combination of features for facilitating enterprise BPM collaboration, coordination, analysis and implementation.

System Architect enables users to visualize the relationships between their business processes and underlying IT architecture, allowing for continual evolution from legacy systems, and collaboration between new technological and business initiatives.

Join us for a complimentary two hour breakfast seminar and learn how the new agile enterprise can be supported using Business Process Management and Enterprise Architecture.

Editor's feature

Enabling Enterprise Business Process Management

Business Process Management (BPM) is a practice that uses technology to achieve business objectives and support business operations. BPM requires a fundamental shift in an organization's mindset; functional boundaries, static processes and technology-driven business processes must all yield to this shift in mindset.

Process optimization, as achieved through BPM, requires transparent operations that allow organizations to fully comprehend all process inputs, outputs, workflows and constraints. To understand how operations function, organizations have to model the who, what and how of their business processes.

The end goal of BPM is simple but critical: the optimization of business processes. Read more >>
