Navigating The BxM Acronym Maze

by Ken Vollmer, Peter O'Neill

with Thomas Mendel, Ph.D., Jacqueline Stone


Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Vendors and analyst firms love to create three-letter acronyms to refer to the latest products or strategies in the marketplace. The "BxM" string is particularly confusing because it includes BPM, which has multiple meanings in its own right. It is therefore difficult to understand exactly what vendors are offering when they use these acronyms in their marketing collateral. And many enterprises already have a multitude of BxM projects underway and are wondering how their results can be cross-leveraged and integrated. This document takes a look at the multitude of acronyms that fit the BxM mold and provides some clarification on their meanings and usage.
