Business Process Management (BPM) is a swiftly-growing business discipline that is
touted to solve many of today's business problems. Process Mapping is one
component of BPM, and arguably a vital one.
In our current business environment, we are surrounded by downsizing, acquisitions
and consolidation. Companies are concentrating on cutting costs. One result of
downsizing is the loss of intellectual capital that was built for years. The knowledge
that terminated employees take with them may erode competitive advantage. The
decision to cut jobs is more than an economic or human resource issue. It is a
strategic one. Identification of work process that will not be needed in the future
organization is vital to the success of any downsizing strategy. This identification
effort also helps protect those processes that are key to an organization's future
from being affected by downsizing. Strategic thinking and operational implementation
must focus on managing the creation, capture, and communication of knowledge.
With knowledge management in place, key know-how will remain even if employees
leave the company.
Process Mapping now offer a simple and direct process mapping service that can
transform your processes into HTML documentation, live usable prototypes for
testing, and development specifications in a very short time. All you need to do is
provide us with a simple description of your process to be mapped, with the steps
involved, the roles, the data required to be captured and used and the business
rules. This can be as simple as a written document, perhaps with a Visio diagram.
We shall give you an estimate of the costs, which are typically $1,000 for a process
of up to 10 steps and 3 data input forms, and an example of the documentation you
will receive.
In this challenging global economy, information technology can help you drive
immediate business value and streamline operational costs. "The downturn has
created a fantastic opportunity for companies prepared to go out and grab them,
and we've decided to invest faster in our software development and marketing to
take advantage of the recession," said Webmart CEO Simon Biltcliffe. While deep
downturns in the market are destructive and many people lose their jobs, now is not
the time to cut resources to innovative efforts.
