BPM – Added Value

I’ve been looking for a list of the main Business Process Management values.
Although most of these are commonly used as marketing messages and some cliche, they still show the added value of using BPM:

Visibility and Control
• Process Visibility and Transparency
• Automate business processes and decision making
• Escalations, audit trails and alerts
• Locate bottlenecks
• Trend analysis
• Locate problems before they turn critical

Cost Reduction
• Reduce headcount
• Reduce operational costs

Compliance
• Structured and transparent business processes
• Enforces company policies
• Work according to procedures
• Fix broken processes
• MifID, SOX ISO-9000 standards
• Audit trail, Policy Management, Compliance, Governance

IT
• Reduce Development and Maintenance costs
• Low cost – Hardware, software, consulting
• Deployment in weeks

Additional
• Green IT – paperless, electronic forms.
• Great user experience – employees love using it
• Runs behind-the-scenes, using day-to-day apps like Outlook
