Publisher's Synopsis
Today, more and more organisations are recognising the opportunities that web technology can offer. They are using internet capability to extend their business processes beyond the traditional boundaries of their companies. By utilising internet standards, services and applications, organisations are removing manual activity from their business processes, and are directly linking with their customers, suppliers and their partners, wherever they are. The resultant integration of the business community is transforming the structure and the culture of organisations, particularly in non-core areas such as finance. Business Process Management: Integration in a web-enabled environment provides you with a practical briefing and explains what a web-enabled organisation looks like and what is required to build and manage the necessary end-to-end processes. Discussing both the technology and the new practices, it offers practical guidance on how to analyse your existing business processes, how to re-engineer them and successful implementation, as well as the role of finance. Essential reading for senior executives, this briefing will give you a thorough understanding of the opportunities and benefits, explaining how web-enabled business processes can transform the way your organisation operates. Fully illustrated with leading edge examples from Cisco and Dell, plus original case studies including e-procurement at Unilever and successful ERP implementation at RNLI.
