Business Processes – what are they?

A business process is a set of logically related business activities that combine to deliver something of value (e.g. products, goods, services or information) to a customer.

What is Business Process Management?

“The achievement of an organization’s objectives through the improvement, management, and control of essential business processes.”

12/13/11 © 2011 ASSD - Andreas Stolz Software Development 9

Why does it matter?

If not managed, processes tend to get out of control based on the need of the moment or outdated tools – causing inefficiencies.
