We all know how processes typically emerge in an organization. They start in one area or department and are designed to solve a specific problem. We call this the functional-centric process model; it’s characterized by transactional processes being structured, managed, and measured via the functional or departmental unit. While this model addresses an immediate, department-level requirement, in the long run it can create a much bigger mess at the corporate level.
We all know how processes typically emerge in an organization. They start in one area or department and are designed to solve a specific problem. We call this the functional-centric process model; it’s characterized by transactional processes being structured, managed, and measured via the functional or departmental unit. While this model addresses an immediate, department-level requirement, in the long run it can create a much bigger mess at the corporate level. Here’s how: these functional-centric processes very quickly lead to a plethora of silo applications, fragmented processes, and content repositories that are difficult to access and use enterprise-wide.
The new paradigm that companies are moving toward is the enterprise-centric process model. With this model, transactional processes are implemented cross-functionally within the organization as a series of repeated actions and steps that together create value for customers and employees and cost savings for organizations. The enterprise-centric model also provides organizations with insight into both the content and the transaction it drives.
Attendees in this presentation will learn how this new approach can generate better customer service, more efficient employees, and a tidy return on investment for the company. Because transactional processes often translate into financial impact, making improvements in this area will directly impact an organization’s bottom line.
As a market leader in transactional content management, EMC provides an architecture and products that can not only manage processes horizontally across the enterprise but also drive internal, back-office transactions (such as invoice processing, insurance claims processing, or loan origination).
