BPM has become an established, mainstream technology that is a necessary tool for businesses to grow. The associated systems design and implementation simplifies and streamlines business processes, ensuring that the right work is delivered to the right people at the right time.

BPM provides enterprise flexibility, optimises the processing time within a company's operations, saves costs and increases the efficiency of business operations.

Using a mature framework of components and process templates, the team rapidly prototypes workflow processes using a workflow metadata engine to generate the screens and flow navigation controls.

One of the more intangible benefits of BMP is that it encourages collaborative working, essentially connecting people and applications across an organisation.

The BPM Team

The BPM business unit started out as a custom Microsoft development team in 2002. The team has been automating business processes since the first commercial release of the K2 workflow technology.

The BPM team consists primarily of C# with ASP.NET 2.0 and SQL Server 2005 skills around the implementation of Workflow Applications based on the K2.net Workflow Server product from SourceCode. The team develops on K2.net BlackPearl - the latest K2 Workflow server release of the technology. The skills base includes Microsoft.NET Microsoft Certified Solution Developers (MCSDs).

Microsoft Office SharePoint 2007 (MOSS) is integrated with the workflow systems as the default document repository. The division also boasts SharePoint specialists focusing on content management and document repository solutions, including custom electronic forms.

The BPM solutions are implemented on the Microsoft.Net web platform with the provision of professional services, consulting, development, training and support to its clients.
