What is BPM?

BPM stands for Business Process Management and is a discipline that aims to model, realize, manage, and even simulate business processes that involve both human and system tasks. These system steps might be automated via batch processes, on demand services, asynchronous processes. One key aspect of BPM is the focus on business metrics. Improving revenue, saving costs, improving customer experience, increasing productivity are what it aspires to achieve. Whether or not you explicitly model and manage business processes, they exist in your organization. BPM provides the technology infrastructure to better capture, streamline, and manage the realizations of business processes.
Typically, a visual tool is used to capture process flows which are decoupled from technology constraints and limitations. this rough technology-agnostic business flow can then be translated into an execution flow that will need to take technology choices, scalability, user preferences, integration with front end and back end services. BPM process flows can invoke data services, business services, perform human workflow tasks – delegation, escalation, routing – all within a stateful container.
