Session:
BPM and Project Oriented Processes
PMI PDU Eligible
Over the years of working on many BPM (Business Process Management) initiatives worldwide we have realized that many processes have project characteristics that demand a unique approach to their management. We refer to these processes as Project-Oriented Processes (POP).
BPM and PPM (Project Portfolio Management) systems alone only partially address the requirement of managing POP, a single-solution that provides the combined functionality of both BPM and PPM is needed. Extending a BPM system to include PPM functions can therefore offer significant benefits.
In this session we will cover Savvion’s comprehensive BPM System which has been enhanced to:
• Combine the process and project definition functionality into a very simple and intuitive tool
• Provide PPM functionality out-of-the-box
• Meet the requirements of project-oriented processes that current BPM systems cannot meet
