Increase Business Agility With BPM Suites

How BPM Suites Support Forrester's Digital Business Architecture

by Ken Vollmer, Colin Teubner

with Connie Moore, Mike Gilpin, Randy Heffner, Jamie Barnett

Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

It's obvious that a solid technological foundation is necessary to conduct business operations effectively, but how to achieve it is not so obvious. Forrester believes that the reality of the digital age is that your business is embodied in your technology, and your business can change only as fast as your technology can. Forrester's Digital Business Architecture is designed with this new reality in mind and includes business process management (BPM) capabilities as one of its core components. The comprehensive capabilities provided by BPM suites (BPMS) give business technology (BT) staff and business users a collaborative software environment for creating, supporting and underpinning an enterprise's Digital Business Architecture.
