Business process Management is nothing new. In fact, this innovation is more than 100 years old – it dates all the way back to Henry Ford’s Model T assembly line. What is new, however, is the cloud technology being applied to create increased efficiency, tightly integrated processes, and improved Business growth.

Whether you work in technology or not, change is inevitable. Today’s businesses are faced with the stark choice choice of digital transformation or, well… death. Industry demands innovation and proactive workflows – a reactive approach to business process management simply won’t work.

Fortunately, cloud technology is making this a much less scary, and much more successful, feat. Here are four reasons why:

Minimized Errors & Maximized Access

Until cloud came along, legacy business process management stored data on a local drive. As you can imagine, this made visibility pretty difficult – if not impossible – for employees across multiple locations. Thankfully, today’s solutions are a drastically different story.

Beyond storing mission-critical information in a centralized database for 24/7 access from anywhere on any device, cloud-driven process management helps organizations save time while eliminating the potential for errors. These technologies eliminate hours of paperwork and human data entry by creating a single, shared version of data with changes that are immediately synced and made visible to everyone involved.

Business Process Management Means Security

With an ever-growing list of regulations like GDPR and CCPA, limiting access and the exposure of confidential information is a top priority for any enterprise technology manager. But it’s always been easier to say than do – until now.

Cloud technologies upgrade business process management security by adding a variety of new features to traditional solutions. Things like role-based access, conditional visibility, and data encryption are rapidly being adopted by today’s organizations. When combined with secure platforms like Amazon Web Services or the Google Cloud Platform, this creates the potential for a more secure environment than ever before.

A Better Experience

The old way of doing things is called that for a reason. Legacy systems don’t exactly inspire positive thoughts or easy-to-perform processes. At best, they create difficult, time-consuming ways to work. In a worst-case scenario, they create downtime and unnecessary risks.

Cloud technology inspires an entirely new generation of business process management flexibility. Its mix of private, public, and hybrid models make it possible to satisfy specific objectives, increase employee adoption and buy-in, and deliver accelerated business value.

Business Process Management Minus the Maintenance

Analyzing historic patterns, monitoring data trends, and improving decision-making is the goal of any initiative. But it typically requires a never-ending stream of on-premise installation, configuration, software setup, and securing hardware/system backups first.

Cloud eliminates these burdens by immediately implementing performance, memory, and general inefficiency fixes – enabling your technology management department to stay focused on more strategic, revenue-focused tasks instead.

Your Best Bet for Business Process Management Success

As cloud technology continues to evolve, business process management won’t stop changing anytime soon. Before you know it, enterprise processes will be able to be entirely managed at any time and from anywhere – as long as you’re prepared.
