Most digital systems for the corporate segment provide a built-in algorithm of actions, and this works well in typical situations. Rigid process automation standards are commonly referred to as the project approach.
But in the modern approach to business, individual solutions and flexibility are important. The BPM system allows you to adjust to the personal requirements of the company and set up processes in real-time. The given model of other systems often requires adjustment of the business process to its capabilities. In the case of BPM, the opposite is true, the system is configured for the process.
Unlike the project approach, BPM systems are good for those processes that need constant monitoring and situational management. For example, the work of the procurement, supply, logistics, and accounting departments. BPM helps to manage these processes and answers the main questions: what, by whom and where is the task performed, what should be the result, and who is responsible for the implementation.
Structure of BPM systems
The first thing to understand is that solutions can be mass-produced, “boxed”, or they can be custom, created for a specific company. This determines the structure of the product. Boxed solutions are universal and accessible to a certain extent. And custom ones are distinguished by advanced architecture.
Often, we recommend ordering individual development, because this allows you to make a tool for your business, for specific tasks. It is more expensive, but its efficiency is many times higher than standard solutions. However, the structure of the BPM system is approximately the same and looks like this:
System of graphic modelling of business processes.
This is a technology that allows you to visually design a workflow so that it is understandable to every employee.
Dynamic Simulation System.
Unlike the graphic design of a business process, dynamics allows you to understand the entire chain of actions and clearly see how to manage the process, and where it can be improved and improved.
Module for developing internal applications.
This is a set of tools that allows the programmer to create internal applications to improve the efficiency of the company. For example, messengers, various integrations with third-party resources, etc.
Workflow management system.
This is one of the main modules of the BPM system, which is used to set tasks and track their effectiveness. Here documentation is formed, rules and algorithms are created according to which the business process works, and systems for monitoring and monitoring the execution of tasks are used.
Process interface.
This is a visual display of tasks for employees, allowing you to prioritize, assign performers and control their activities.
BPM management tool.
This is a kind of central module, which is managed by the administrator. Access rights are assigned here, and the operation of the entire system is controlled.
Additionally, other modules can be implemented, but often this is enough to solve most problems. When developing individually, we take into account many factors, creating a high-quality working tool for business.
Business Process Management is a solution for companies that want to digitalize and go into the future. The success of BPM implementation largely depends on the experience and competence of the development team.
