Significance of Rapid Solutions Development to Business Process Management
This addresses the problem of slow and costly BPM implementation for businesses, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing agile and BPM trends.
The paper examines how rapid solutions development (RSD) tools are transforming business process management (BPM) by enabling faster benefits and reducing the need for custom software development, as these tools mature and introduce new approaches.
Business process management (BPM) is moving from a niche market into the mainstream. One of the factors leading to this transformation is the emergence of very powerful rapid solutions development tools for creating BPM solutions (BPM RSD). It has been widely recognized that this facility is important for achieving benefits quickly. Similar benefits are attributed to the agile software movement, but BPM RSD differs in that the objective is to reduce the need for custom software development. As the BPM RSD features of some of the current business process management suites (BPMS) products have matured, additional benefits have emerged that fundamentally change the way we approach solutions in this space.
