Techopedia Explains Business Process Management

BPM focuses on continuous process improvement. The goal is to achieve higher customer satisfaction, product quality, delivery, and time-to-market (TTM) speed. In theory, BPM allows organizations to be more efficient and effective with greater performance and development than those that follow functionally oriented, conventional, and hierarchical management processes.

Business processes, which are sets of activities performed to achieve corporate and business goals, are vital to any organization because they lead to profit development and growth. As a managerial strategy, BPM prioritizes business processes as critical organizational assets that must be recognized, managed, and developed to deliver value-added products and services to customers.
