Business process management (BPM) has been a great tool for leading companies looking to improve enterprise operations. The next wave of BPM adds intelligence to the equation, turning what continues to be an important technology into a strategic management discipline that can transform how organizations achieve their business goals.
In an ongoing effort to adequately support business process intelligence needs, BPM has evolved into intelligent business process management or iBPM. Such is the trend that Gartner have coined a new acronym: iBPMS (Intelligent Business Process Management) and have designated the current year as year of iBPM.
