Business process management (BPM) systems are essential to creating an efficient organization, but many CIOs today are more focused on trendier topics such as data analytics and CRM, according a report by Technology Evaluation Centers (TEC).

In fact, BPM provides a solid foundation for working on other business goals, including data analytics, continuous improvement, agility and collaboration, the report says.

TEC’s market landscape report, written by senior analyst Jorge García, covers the latest trends in BPM, such as the integration of mobile, cloud, analytics and social capabilities. The report also identifies the key features of BPM software offerings, best practices and key considerations when undertaking a BPM initiative.
