BPM System

Why would you need a BPM system? This is the best invention in the domain of Sales and Marketing that is designed to make your work more productive.

Brief history of BPM

BPM stands for Business Process Management. It is a systematic approach intended to control and manage all operations, which take place in any company. Everyday business activity is simply a sequence of processes. Would it be a new sale deal or hiring a new employee or the production, those are all business processes. As a manager and as a leader, you need to systematize all processes in your company. Regardless of a company size, it is a hard task. Some huge companies might have hundreds of business processes occurring simultaneously. Of course, you cannot keep all that information in your head that is why you might need a BPM solution.

To have a clear understanding of BPM let’s look at the history of economics and modern business. the notion ‘business’ as we know it today appeared with the industrial revolution, when Adam Smith has published the first work in modern economics – the “The Wealth of Nations”. He first invented terms like “Divisions of Labor” and others. Many reputable experts consider him be the “founder of free market economics”. The term Business Process Management has been introduced in the early 90s of the twentieth century. However, the concept is quite traditional and first appeared in the beginning of the twentieth century. Modern BPM is a descinpline and a field of study in operational managment. There are many defenitions of the BPM, however, there is something that they all have in common. Business Process Management is a business approach to control, manage and monitor processes in order to achieve consistent results and organisational goals.

However, if you do not have a technical background it can be a difficult to choose a BPM platform. Today’s IT market is full of BPM software.
