BPMI.ORG ENDORSES LANDMARK BOOK - “BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT: THE THIRD WAVE” Denver, CO - November 13, 2002 - Written by Computer Sciences Corporation's Howard Smith and acclaimed co-author Peter Fingar the book heralds a breakthrough in process thinking that obliterates the business-IT divide, utterly transforms today's information systems and reduces the lag between management intent and execution. "Despite the surrounding confusion and hype, BPM is now recognized as the pragmatic path to agility as companies adapt to the current business landscape," said Ismael Ghalimi, BPMI.org's Chair and Intalio's Chief Strategy Officer. "This book provides the accurate and in-depth information that business leaders require to successfully implement BPM projects today." While the vision of process management isn't new, existing theories and information systems have not been able to cope with the reality of complex business processes-until now. A process-managed enterprise makes agile course corrections, embeds Six Sigma quality and reduces cumulative costs across the value chain. It pursues strategic initiatives with confidence, including mergers, consolidation, alliances, acquisitions, outsourcing and global expansion. "Business Process Management: The Third Wave," demonstrates how process management is the only way to achieve these objectives with transparency, management control and accountability.
