As the G20 summit took place last week in London, climate change and green issues were back at the top of government and business agendas. In this article, Metastorm provided the top five business benefits for going green and demonstrated how BPM software can play a critical role in reducing costs when a company takes a green path. Organizations can go green by reducing paper consumption through the automation of processes, or by reducing physical transport and business travel as tasks are more heavily being carried out online.

However, when a business combines EA and BPM, it can truly see the benefits across the board because together these technologies enable organisations to take a broad view of enterprise assets, identify process interdependencies, and identify inefficient and redundant processes and underutilised equipment and storage sites that can be cut out to eliminate waste and improve sustainability.

The truth is that the hidden benefits of going green are actually not that hidden – you simply need a system in place that will support your business desire to implement a “greener” culture and this can be easily done with EA and BPM.
