Oracle is upgrading its business process management (BPM) suite, says CMS Wire.

Oracle's BPM Suite 11g enables enterprise users to access and collaborate on tasks via social computing features such as wikis, blogs and user-friendly dashboards.

The tech giant says it is aiming to simplify the management of core business processes by providing a collaborative environment, as well as effective tools for managing and monitoring those business processes.
