Business Process Management (BPM) initiatives are growing in popularity — largely because so many organizations have proven the value that BPM can deliver. With a relatively low investment in technology and resources, huge gains in process efficiency, productivity, control, and business agility can be achieved.

On the fence about a BPM investment?

A recent research report from AIIM,“Business Process Management- are we making the most of content-driven processes?” reported that 72% of organizations using BPM received a 100% payback in their BPM investment within 2 years, with 50% of those surveyed receiving a full payback within 18 months.

Ok, so you’re a believer—but what about the rest of your organization?

After nearly a decade of market research on what drives successful BPM implementations, the answer for what prevents them is consistently “lack of sponsorship” by upper management. In other words, the single largest hurdle to BPM implementation is cited as finding someone (an executive or a department) to pay for and champion it.
