About the Book

This book finally sheds light on Business Process Management (BPM) in the SAP environment. It explains what BPM is, why it is important in today's business world to manage your processes, and how to implement BPM in your company, both from the business and the IT perspective. Readers learn everything about SAP's BPM roadmap, a four-step approach to plan, prepare, execute, and monitor your BPM implementation. Once this generic roadmap has been explained, the decisive question is: How can SAP software be used more effectively to provide a company with business innovation? Extensive case studies from various large SAP customers and SAP itself illustrate how the concepts of BPM, Enterprise SOA, and the Business Process Platform go together and equip you for your next business challenges. Here, the capabilities of the new NetWeaver component SAP NetWeaver BPM are explained, and you get detailed advice on how to prepare your IT department for the transition.
