What is the Connection Between Six Sigma and BPM Software

BPM software heightens the effectiveness of DMAIC Six Sigma initiatives by giving companies an additional way to analyze & visualize their processes rather than solely focusing on statistical analysis. BPM Software serves as a platform that simplifies the way baseline metrics are captured, processes are modeled, and information is analyzed. In addition, BPM software serves as a platform on which continuous improvement can occur.

What does BPM Bring to Six Sigma Initiatives

• Faster, more accurate and sustainable results at each stage of the DMAIC approach through BPM software's ability to automate data collection, model the process dynamically, present actionable information, facilitate improvements, and enforce internal controls
• The ability to visualize and manage the outcome of your Six Sigma initiatives; making sure that people follow the new processes
• Sustainability of your Six Sigma outcomes due to BPM software's agile nature, which facilitates continuous improvement in near real-time

BPM Suite Highlights

• Easy User Adoption
  A process management framework that doesn't ask people to change the way they work. People interact with the software through common deskotp tools like email, Excel, and Internet Explorer. Users have no new software to learn and no new software to install.
• "No Code" Deployments
  BPM software facilitates process design, deployment, and change from a single desktop without the need to write code. The product comes "out of the box" with virtually every capability you will need, allowing the process owner to not only deploy an ITIL process quickly, but update and ITIL process quickly as well.
• Balance of Automation and Human Worker Interaction
  The majority of work will always need to be performed by people. BPM software eliminates "non value added" work like re-keying data and optimizing the use of people's time through the introduction of appropriate automation into the process. In short, BPM software helps you automate what you can and makes people more efficient where you can't.
