Enterprise Apps Today recently published an article discussing why it makes sense to take a process-centric approach to CRM .

Taking the pulse of BPM in the cloud – MWD's Insights blog
Friday, February 17, 2012 by Neil Ward-Dutton ‘BPM in the cloud’ is one of the key themes of our 2012 BPM industry research programme , and as a part of that we’ve just published a short online survey that’s designed to help us quickly take the pulse of what’s going on in this area. From my conversations with some of the principal providers of cloud-based BPM technology (we’ve already published cloud-focused profiles of Appian , IBM and Pegasystems and more are on their way) it’s clear that businesses are starting to take cloud deployment seriously as an option – not only for early-stage trials, proofs-of-concept and so on but also, increasingly, for operational process application deployment. To add another perspective we’re really keen to get some solid data from practitioners out there in the field. Are you exploring use of BPM technology in the cloud – and if so what are you hoping to gain?
Why Taking Process-centric Approach to CRM Makes Sense
March 5, 2012 By Herman Mehling Feedback Companies look to BPM software to help tame some of their complex customer-facing processes. Business process management (BPM) used to be strictly a back-office affair. That's no longer true. As with many technologies and IT practices, BPM has become part of the integration or attempted integration of various IT functions. One of the most interesting trends in BPM is its cross-pollination with customer-facing processes, notably CRM.For many businesses, BPM ranks as a top priority for 2012
Today’s companies not only need to do more than ever before—they need to do it all faster and better, preferably with lower costs and higher ROI. No wonder businesses of all types and sizes are turning to business process management (BPM) to improve how work gets done. In fact, a majority of business and IT professionals rank BPM as a top priority for 2012, according to an international survey conducted by TechTarget , ebizQ’s parent company.
New regulatory mandates have placed extreme pressure on healthcare insurance payers to reduce administrative costs and operate more efficiently. Reducing costs in administrative roles is challenging because it is difficult to "see" in a digital workspace what the workforce is doing, how efficiently they are doing it, and whether there is a "better" way to accomplish the task. This challenge is compounded as workers traverse different applications, systems, and even user log-in IDs to accomplish their work. Conceptually, the keys to successfully reducing administrative costs are simple: improve the process to eliminate work, reduce errors and improve the productivity of remaining workers. However, improving process requires visibility into the detailed effort and steps of how work is actually accomplished within current systems. This includes producing detailed metrics about the time for each activity as well as volumes and effort.
