ey can you please let me know the main difference between the BPM and process management , as i find them to be somwht similar , also can u guys show me let say some screen shots of some BPM tools
I think process management is a “dangling term”. The reason why I say dangling is because the term really doesn’t serve a purpose until you define what type of process you are managing. Without the ‘adjective’ defining the type, we could be referring to any kind of process being managed such as managing a process to cook a meal for a large banquet or managing a process to changing a set of tires on an automobile. Once you add the BUSINESS in front of process management then we are specifically talking about the collaboration between human and technology in a business setting to produce a service for a requested party customer/client. I have provided an example on our blog (http://4thaluvofmusic.blogspot.com/2009/10/this-is-example-of-business-process.html) so I don’t take up to much space here. I have also provided a snapshot of a tool that I have worked with before on our blog.
In essence, we are using BPM as a means to "empower" the business-oriented personnel to leverage techology while reducing the direct involvement of IT. In so many instances, we see the business user community cultivating a "love/hate" relationship with all things "technical". Use of these types of tools "lowers the wall" between the two groups.
As Mo Blogger states, you must define the context within which you are referencing the term "Process Management". Still, using these types of tools allows gthe more business focused personnel to be more involved and contribute to the integration process.
