Business process optimization is one of four core business process management (BPM) enabled by service-oriented architecture (SOA) services that are interchangeable and can be deployed independently or in combination — so there's no set entry point. These services are designed to ensure business processes are optimized and aligned with company objectives and will help you:
Assess and document current processes and model and simulate new processes using "what if" scenarios
Govern the entire lifecycle of business processes using policies, standards and guidelines
Evaluate the deployed business processes against the stated operational and performance objectives to identify areas of potential improvement
Deliver critical, real-time business data to business leaders using dashboards and scorecards
