Editor's note: For an audio/visual primer to BPM, catch the replay of ebizQ's BPM virtual conference now available on-demand!
Business Process Management (BPM) can be used to focus your organization on the customer's needs by breaking processes out of the old departmental and managerial patterns. As a bonus, this streamlining of processes also tends to increase efficiency and thus decrease total cost and time spent by the company.
Today's BPM solutions go a long way towards creating a suitable framework for such a shift. While things are getting more intuitive, it's rarely an out-of-the-box experience; you still need to configure, automate and optimize the software to reap the full benefits of BPM. This guide will help you get started, from planning and evaluation to implementation and optimization.

is not a technical or a business problem; it's both, and it needs to be treated
accordingly.

SOA is a long journey, not a single project, and distributed architectures are inherently complex.
