How to get started with BPM
Select the Right Process
Selecting the right process is one of the most important decisions you will make when getting started with BPM. Just about any process can be automated but the important question is whether the results will be worth the effort to do so. We recommend that you begin with a process that has a low level of complexity yet is important to your firm. This may include processes with few integration points, limited to one department or physical location, or involving individuals more likely to embrace technology. That way, you can implement the new process more quickly while demonstrating the real value that BPM provides.
Our experts can help you identify the best process to put you on the path to BPM success.
Select the Right Tool
The BPM software you select is also critical to the success of the implementation. Just as processes vary greatly, so do the capabilities (and associated costs) of BPM systems. It is important that you match the level of functionality you need with your budget and the tools available. While your final selection criteria will be unique, we recommend that you that you consider the following:
Technology
One of the most essential elements of any viable product is its underlying technology. If a system’s underlying technology is not solid, any amount of money you spend on it will be a risky investment. In addition, even the most tailored functionality is not useful if it is not reliable. The foundation for a robust, scalable, and reliable BPM solution lies in the technology used to develop it.
Usability
As with any tool you provide your employees, you want to be sure that it is easy to use. You should look for a BPM product providing intuitive, attractive, and customizable interfaces because product usability can lower your training costs and be the difference between user acceptance and shelfware.
Company History
With the rapid growth in BPM there are many companies expanding into the market. However, a number of companies offering BPM products have very little experience in workflow or process automation. You should look for a BPM product from a company with years of experience providing proven workflow solutions.
Functionality
You should ask yourself what product functionality you really need to achieve your goals. Be wary of vendors who try to sell you products by focusing on functionality that you will never actually use.
Complexity
The product you implement should be flexible enough to meet your needs today and tomorrow however this should not come with extraneous complexity. You should be sure that your BPM product is easy to implement, use, and manage.
Cost
Cost is obviously a main consideration in every purchase decision and BPM products are no different. However, keep in mind your total cost of ownership. The costs associated with implementation and maintenance of many BPM systems can easily surpass the licensing fees. You will want to consider these future costs to be sure that you investment remains affordable after you make your initial purchase.
