There is growing confusion among users and vendors as the blurring of the already-hazy lines separating business analytics (BA), business intelligence (BI), and the discovery, management, and optimization of business activities, performance, and processes accelerates. Oracle Corp.'s recently announced plans to purchase performance management market leader Hyperion Solutions Corp., and IBM Corp.'s new OEM deal with BI vendor Information Builders, Inc. underscores the continuing consolidation, integration, and "cross-fertilization" of previously disparate solutions, strategies, technologies, and vendors.
Every enterprise business and IT decision-maker wants and needs the best available information about how their customers, employees, and partners do the work that drives their businesses, to best support those efforts. However, most past and many current solutions for business activity, performance, and process management and optimization are too narrowly focused and too "system-centric" to provide that much-needed information. Or as John Seely Brown, visionary and former chief scientist at Xerox Corp. put it, "Processes don't do work; people do."
This Webinar will discuss the current state of business process management and closely related functions, solutions, and vendors. It will detail how these are evolving towards a more holistic, human-centric view of how enterprises function, a view variously referred to as "human-centric BPM," "human interaction management," or what RFG calls "business knowledge management." The Webinar will also explain how this new, improved view of process management and optimization can help IT decision-makers maximize the value of enterprise investments in related technologies ranging from service-oriented architectures (SOAs) to intellectual property life cycle management (IPLM).
