Every organization has their very own distinct business processes which differentiates them from their competitors. Some companies have predefined processes while some have processes which are defined by the employees themselves. Imagine what would happen if each customer support representative have their own way of managing a customer. Without a proper process in place, calls from customers can go unanswered and can be transferred endlessly.

Integrating an Enterprise CMS With BPM: A Strategy for Bridging the Gap
Enterprise content management and business process management are two separate but complimentary solutions. In part one of this two part series, we look at the need to integrate the two and some business scenarios where you would (and would not) integrate them. We do not see a situation very often in the enterprise — large or SMB — where a Busines Process Management (BPM) product (like IBM Lombardi, Pega, Appian, etc) is integrated with an Enterprise CMS (EMC Documentum, IBM FileNet/P8, Alfresco) to bring process and content together in a collaborative workspace. There might be few reasons behind this:A closer look at where BPM and ECM collide
Nuxeo , IBM and EMC have all recently revamped products with a greater focus on case management, demonstrating a trend where vendors layer business process management on top of content services. BPM and enterprise content management are certainly complimentary strategies, but to what degree are BPM and ECM merging?

jBPM is a flexible Business Process Management (BPM) Suite. It makes the bridge between business analysts and developers. Traditional BPM engines have a focus that is limited to non-technical people only. jBPM has a dual focus: it offers process management features in a way that both business users and developers like it. What does jBPM do? A business process allows you to model your business goals by describing the steps that need to be executed to achieve that goal and the order, using a flow chart. This greatly improves the visibility and agility of your business logic, results in higher-level and domain-specific representations that can be understood by business users and is easier to monitor.

Later that same day, I was in a workshop moderated by Nathaniel Palmer, WFMC Executive Director, on the same topic. I always knew that Case Management wasn’t very well understood in the BPM community.
