What is BPM (Business Process Management)?
Business Process Management (BPM) is the discipline of planning, implementing, monitoring, and optimizing an organization's business processes. Its main goal is to increase efficiency by making business processes more effective and ensuring continuous improvement. BPM includes elements such as visualizing processes, defining rules, tracking tasks, and reporting. It helps organizations gain a competitive advantage and quickly adapt to changing business environments.

Situations Where BPM is Preferred
-
1- Complex Business Processes: BPM can effectively manage complex business processes that need to integrate with multiple departments or systems. This helps optimize the coordination and interaction of processes.
-
2- Business Process Optimization: BPM can analyze existing business processes to eliminate unnecessary steps and increase efficiency. The visual design and analytics of business processes support continuous improvement.
-
3- Rule-Based Operations: Using BPM is important for business processes where certain rules need to be applied. Situations where business processes need to act according to a specific set of guidelines can be managed with rules defined by BPM.
-
4- Human Resources and Task Management: BPM supports human resources management with its capabilities to define, assign, and track tasks. Monitoring which user completes which task ensures that business processes progress in an orderly and effective manner.
-
5- Need for Continuous Improvement: Using BPM to continuously monitor, measure, and analyze business processes facilitates continuous improvement. This allows business processes to adapt more quickly to changing requirements.
-
6- Monitoring and Reporting Requirements: BPM provides real-time monitoring and detailed reporting of business processes. This feature is important for evaluating performance and detecting potential issues in advance.
-
7- Cross-Functional Collaboration: BPM can be used to optimize business processes between different departments or business units. In situations requiring cross-functional collaboration, BPM integration can enhance cooperation.

SAP PI/PO and NWBPM
SAP NWBPM can communicate natively with SAP PI/PO and uses the BPMN 2.0 standard.
BPM development has been made very easy using SAP NWDS. It has native features such as the use of services created in the SAP PI/PO system and communication via the XI protocol.
Complex processes can be easily developed with BPM and deployed to SAP AS Java (SAP PI/PO server).
There are also monitoring and management features for deployed and used BPM processes. Business processes can be monitored in real-time and their detailed histories can be examined.
