DUBLIN, Ireland, Sep 01, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Research and Markets has announced the addition of WinterGreen Research, Inc.'s new report "Business Process Management (BPM) Market Shares, Opportunities, Strategies, and Forecasts, 2008-2014" to their offering.

Business process management promises to drive enterprise markets going forward by implementing automated process more efficiently. Automation of business process must be balanced with human exception management, which is managed by workflow. Business processes are enhanced by the ability to interconnect a range of different applications systems including general ledger, order entry, inventory, process control, and human resources.

Business process management (BPM) aims for the achievement of greater value from existing software assets. IT investment allows the business process to be used to capture information electronically and automate services delivery. BPM is used to dynamically manage business logic with integrated application services. Business process management (BPM) is a central aspect of enterprise software.

IBM, Oracle / BEA, Software AG web Methods, and TIBCO Software, have established category leadership based on their combined strength across the three major areas of evaluation: connection, business process management (BPM), and service-oriented architecture (SOA). IBM is the leader in every segment, providing robust functionality. IBM enhanced its high position in this space via its strong support for both BPM and SOA. Both structured and unstructured process flows are automated via IBM middleware.

Customer response and supply chain modules represent significant aspects of business process management (BPM). BPM has achieved the ability to manage human interactions for process and to achieve application to application process implementation. Attaching information to rules in an automated manner means existing business IT systems can operate more efficiently.

BPM adoption is generally at the departmental level. This will change as the mainframe and shared workload become a more significant aspect of the market. Growth is driven by automated process. The value of automated process is at the very definition of the large enterprise. Process-centric organizations depend on
