Insight into Business Process Visibility
In today's ever-changing world of technologies and platforms, we are constantly bombarded with new terms and acronyms. One of the most important in the competitive business arena is BPM (Business Process Management). What exactly is Business Process Management? In order to resolve this, we have to go back to the very basics and define a business process. A business process is an aggregate of tasks performed by people, that contain the information used in the process along with all the appropriate business rules, and under what conditions those rules are applied.

It is common knowledge that business performance management (BPM) simplifies a company's business processes (of which budgeting is a key aspect) and streamlines the sharing of data to provide greater accuracy, enhanced accountability and increased ownership by business units, but there's much more to BPM than the basics!

SAP SCOOP
Information Brokers: The Missing Link?
In my previous installment, "SAP BI and the Conservation of Complexity", I introduced the concept of an "information broker". I make the point that a major reason why so many companies fail to realize the full potential of the information housed in their various application systems is because end users are unable to effectively deal with the high level of complexity presented to them. Even in a warehouse environment such as SAP BW where data has been cleansed, sanitized, de-normalized, and supposedly made fit for human consumption, it can be a daunting task for the rank-and-file user base to access mission-critical information.

Capital Expense Planning
If your company is like most, you are in the throes of planning for next year. While the implementation of these strategic, operational, and capital plans is not likely to occur until many months from now, it is crucial that you get a head start on the planning process. Perhaps even more important, your planning process needs to incorporate tools for keeping both project managers and executives abreast of progress in order to ensure maximum return on your investments. This article addresses not only the critical success factors for producing and managing capital budgets, but also addresses what happens once a budget is approved. For example, how do you identify and proactively respond to projects that are significantly over budget? Do you ‘borrow’ funds from other projects? Modify the initial scope? Reschedule the construction timeline? Too many organizations lose sight of actual expenditures and time to completion, making it difficult to assess the benefits realized. The ability to capture and report—in a timely and accurate manner—on all fluctuations in expenditures, budgets, and schedules is critical to realizing your projected return on invested capital.
