Welcome to Business Process Management Systems
Welcome to Business Process Management Systems wiki at Indian Institute of Management, Lucknow. This wiki is designed to facilitate learning in Post Graduate Program in Management 2010-11. It will also serve as plateform to interact with industry experts. Feel free to add and enrich this wiki by contributing more content.

Business Process Management (BPM) focuses on aligning various organizational systems with business strategy. A business process can be defined as collection of related, structured activities to achieve given business objectives. This course will discuss BPM from people and technology perspectives. However we will not take the restrictive view of BPM that focuses on middleware or application integration. We will cover the entire gamut of business process management life cycle starting from process extraction and design; modelling; process execution; process monitoring and optimization.
