Is It Time to Adopt a Revolutionary Approach to BPM? – 5 Things to Look For

Consider these three data points from AIIM’s Process Improvement and Automation - A Look at BPM. 55% of organizations say BPM is “significant” (38%) or “imperative” (17%) for their business. 33% say they plan to replace their current BPM solution. 35% say it is the line-of-business manager who now evaluates BPM solutions.

PokemonGo swept the world and led to a host of injuries when enthusiastic participants careened into each other and into stationary objects whilst staring at their screens. Alexa Echo Dots began appearing on every imaginable surface, listening ...listening... listening. And perhaps because of the need to be silent in the face of all of this listening, silent Mannequin Challenges became all the rage.
