Agenda

● Why is there need for BPM?● What does BPMS provide?● Bonita Open Solution: demo● Under the hood


BPM

● Why?

Imagine you are an employee of “Quiche que c'est bon”.

But the cooker is ill, and you don’t know how to cook a “quiche lorraine”.


BPM

What a very bad day for your company!And all the people wanting to eat “quiche

lorraine”...


BPM

● Need for processes in your company

You need to know what to do in such case. But it would be even easier if you wouldn't have to know the whole picture


BPM

● Business processes answer to questions such as:● “And now, what do I have to do?”● “How can I do that?”● “How am I expected to do that?”

● It is all about organization, and is clearly driven by business.


From BPM to BPMS

I can automate that!


BPMS

● Transform functional into technical● By uncoupling business logic from technical issues,

BPMS provides agility to your business.● Improve = edit diagram + redeploy a file● Improving business processes is transparent for

people affected by these processes.


BPMS

● Open the doors to monitoring, reporting, business intelligence, simulation...
