Companies can utilize Oracle’s Business Process Management (BPM) suite to streamline business processes and introduce automated workflows. Businesses can improve organizational value, overall costs, and productivity by eliminating manual work efforts and creating standardized workflows. This article explains the benefits delivered by Oracle BPM.
Visibility Enables Improvements
Business visibility is all about seeing what is occurring in the business. If you cannot see change, you cannot adapt to it. Improving business visibility requires the correct information being available at the right time. Real-time visibility with the analysis of events and processes provides the most accurate and timely information to aid decision-making. Repeatable and measurable processes that cross departmental and system silos help to provide better understanding and the ability to predict trends.
Role-specific dashboards increase business visibility and operational confidence enabling better decision-making in a timely manner. Visibility is also critical and the first step to ensuring compliance with Service Level Agreements and regulatory standards.
Implement Business Processes That Deliver Operational Efficiency and Improve Productivity
Every business has critical and core processes that it performs to be successful. Sometimes, those processes must be transformed to change how the company operates. With BPM, you can streamline your core processes to enable efficiencies. Becoming more efficient means saving more money, and saving more cash gives your business an edge over your competition.
Improving efficiency means better worker productivity. BPM can help improve efficiency by providing better tools, like process simulation, to analyze processes as they are designed so you can eliminate bottlenecks and expensive paths from your process. BPM also provides efficiency in building and managing process applications by aligning tasks with responsibility across business and IT platforms.
Oracle BPM Supports Business Agility and Improves Results
Business agility is all about being able to adapt to changing circumstances. Visibility, agility, and efficiency are all interrelated, but if your systems are not designed to change quickly, even the most efficient organization with good business visibility will be at a disadvantage. If you need to change a business process due to changes in business demands, you must be able to make that change immediately. It would be best if you did not wait months to update applications as forced by rigid application systems.
Oracle BPM enables Business Analysts to quickly design the UI elements of a process, starting with a blank canvas and dragging and dropping visual controls from a palette – or starting with an existing business object definition and modifying it to fit the new process. Web forms designed by the BA are immediately enabled and allow for prototyping and production-grade forms. Analysts can model the process and design the forms by sitting with stakeholders, making changes, and demonstrating them. This accelerates time-to-solution.
Whether you measure success in terms of cost savings, workers’ productivity, effective reuse, and improved quality of output, better management and automation of business processes deliver the business agility that gets you there faster.
Business Is In the Driver’s Seat
Oracle BPM empowers business participants to rapidly design and implement their business processes without significantly relying on over-stretched IT resources, leading to agile and cost-efficient development. Oracle BPM ensures that processes reflect the actual business need, enables business users to gain better control of their process-related tasks, and facilitates dynamic work redistribution, enhancing user productivity and process efficiency. It puts businesses in the driver’s seat and allows them to tune processes dynamically and meet changing business needs.
