Book Description

May 17, 2005
Business process is the enterprise. Business Process Management (BPM) is about continuously managing buisness processes. BPM is the greatest opportunity companies have to become process managed. This book is about the need for BPM, what is BPM, BPM concepts from a management and technology standpoint, designing and implementing BPMS. This book covers the "what and why" of BPM presenting examples why BPM cannot be ignored by companies. Then the book covers the "how of BPM" mentioning in details the process life cycle (design-deploy-monitor-optimize) coupled with best practices and implementation strategies. I make clear that implementing BPMS is a challenging task and is not very easy. It requires clear understanding of BPM. This book will be useful for BPM stakeholders and senior management to understand the need for BPM and the high level planning and commitment needed. This book provides a vendor neutral roadmap to implement BPMS.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

In today's Knowledge and Service based economy, business processes are key assets of companies. Companies deliver value to customers by executing their business processes. Yet most companies say their business processes are opaque, rigid, inflexible and cost inefficient. Before BPM the technology did not exist which enabled companies to automate and manage business processes in real time. BPMS enables companies to manage business process change, unlike today’s IT applications which mitigate business change after the fact. I have implemented BPMS (Business Process Management Systems) and have seen the power of real time process management.BPM is the greatest opportunity businesses have to become process-managed enterprises.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Knowledgebase For Understanding and Implementing BPM, July 13, 2005
This review is from: Business Process Management. Process is the Enterprise. (Paperback)
I work as a software developer for a large insurance business and wanted to learn what Business Process Management (BPM) is all about. This book covers in great detail all aspects of business process management, and explains the best practices and strategies for implementing business process management. This book is well organized and is written in a clear and concise manner. It should be a required read for all executive and department managers, business users and information technology personnel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where the rubber meets the road., August 10, 2005
This review is from: Business Process Management. Process is the Enterprise. (Paperback)
It's obvious that this book was written by the hands of experience. What Arora has done is distill what really counts in the emerging world of business process management from the perspective of someone who has "been there, done that," implementing real BPM, in a real company, with real stakes. This book is for hard-working, reality-grounded business and IT professionals who want to-the-point information about the business case for BPM and experience-based straight talk about implementation.

5.0 out of 5 stars BPM Concepts and Projects, October 31, 2005
This review is from: Business Process Management. Process is the Enterprise. (Paperback)
This book was written by someone with practical experience. It is and easy read and well organized. The author does a great job of covering the BPM project lifecycle, presents his experiences and offers best practices. Also, organizations will find what to look for in a BPM solution today (and what to look for in the future) very useful as they explore the BPM Market. A must read for those new to BPM as well as those who have been working in the BPM Market for awhile. Highly recommended.
