Business Process Management at center of digital transformation

Modern Business Process Management BPM tools are emerging as key options for companies trying to align people, processes and technology. This is especially true as BPM software incorporates app platform functionality.

Frequent change and disruption can become overwhelming for users, but effective data integration across the business can alleviate the burden of keeping up with the pace of digital transformation.
