| Description: | The BPI Technology Implementation for new and legacy systems briefing is delivered in association with DBI Ltd. This half day briefing is designed to give delegates an understanding of the technology challenges facing organizations that have current BPI projects or are intending to implement one in the future.
Many companies have business processes that are unique to its business model and these processes tend to evolve over time as the business reacts to market conditions. Often the existing processes do not exactly match the software solution that is in place and this difficulty is compounded once a BPI initiative is put in place. Rarely do the proposed changes slot neatly into a workflow within the existing system. The briefing explores the customization, integration and upgrading issues associated with process change in organizations.
|
| Audience | This briefing is suitable for Sales, Marketing, Finance, Operations and/or IT analysts/managers/directors, BPI teams or employees involved in projects where the goal is to improve existing business processes. It is of interest to those who are concerned with exploring how technology can enable process change with minimal disruption to their organisation, whatever it's size |
| Objectives | On completion of this briefing, delegates will:
- Understand the interaction between BPI and IT
- Have an appreciation of the challenges presented to IT by BPI
- Be aware of the importance of technology in process change
- Understand that BPI does not necessarily require large system changes
- Understand how new development methodologies can bring to bear new solutions to process change
- Be able to answer the key question: - should we change our business practices to match the way the software works, or should we try to change the software to match the way we currently do business?
