IBM streamlines business processes
IBM has released an enterprise content management software which it claims can reduce the time it takes to execute business processes by up to 50%, helping to lower costs and make organisations more agile and efficient, writes CRN.
The IBM FileNet Business Process Manager bundle combines FileNet Process Monitor, FileNet Business Process Framework, FileNet Connector for Microsoft Visio, and IBM FileNet eForms.
The content-centric BPM system also includes IBM Cognos Now for real-time monitoring, according to the firm.
