Some have been defined with a great deal of detail and rigor. For example, loan processing is a core function for financial institutions that has many personnel dedicated to the effort. As a result, the details of how loans are processed are typically well understood. On the other hand, the vast majority of processes in a business are not well defined. They have emerged as a result of simply doing business, with people making decisions on how to address situations on the fly. If successful, they share the approach with others and it becomes the accepted process. If unsuccessful, other approaches are tried until ones that work are found. Often, the exact mix of tasks, participants, rules and systems change based on the specifics of each case of a process. Business Process Management (BPM) efforts focus on improving business performance by modeling, automating, managing, and optimizing these processes. In many cases, order-of-magnitude improvements can be made through process automation and optimization. For example, Ultimus customers have cut contract processing time from 6 weeks to 1 week, quote processing from 3 weeks to 3 days, and HR request handling from 2 weeks to less than 1 hour. The eSeminar includes presentations from Hollis Bischoff, Vice President at Meta Group, and Hank Barnes, Vice President of Marketing and Product Management for Ultimus. A demonstration of Adaptive Discovery will also be provided.
