Companies have previously been trapped into thinking that every business problem leads to building or modifying an existing software system," said Art Barrios, BusinessEdge BPM solutions partner. But BPM's process-oriented methodology looks at defining the correct process first, considers how current systems support the process, and finally provides a coordination layer which leverages existing systems while filling in process gaps where tasks had poor or no automation."

Todays organizations are demanding greater efficiencies out of their business processes than those delivered by traditional enterprise applications like ERP or CRM," said Phil Gilbert, executive vice-president and CTO of Lombardi Software. BPM software delivers on those demands with rapid implementation, new visibility into process performance and the agility to change quickly. And organizations that have deployed BPM solutions achieve tangible business results in weeks instead of months or years."
