White Papers

Join Forrester Research and Fujitsu in an interactive discussion around how Dynamic BPM Platforms can help respond to market conditions quickly and continuously optimize processes to help the bottom line in challenging economic times.

BPM, SOA, and Web 2.0 currently are three of the hottest (and arguably the most hyped) technology strategies, with BPM and SOA a little more mature than Web 2.0. Enterprise adoption and convergence are fundamentally changing how IT and business (or mission) stakeholders work together. Because of the dynamic differences in the use and perceptions of these different technologies, there are both opportunities and threats for organizations. This white paper introduces a series or research studies and case studies exploring the BPM, SOA, and Web 2.0 convergence.

Daryl Plummer, Gartner Inc., and Farhat Ali, President and CEO of Fujitsu America Inc., examine the link between business agility and process improvement with innovations in process discovery to jump-start BPM initiatives.

Research firms and industry analysts have written extensively about the importance of enterprise agility.  Agile solutions and enterprises can adapt to change, market trends and evolving standards and regulatory requirements at a greatly reduced expense and time to market.  In the case of independent software vendors (ISVs), agility is absolutely critical.

After all, ISVs must address the issue of agility internally as well as on behalf of their clients.  ISVs seek agile strategies and solutions that can quickly adapt to changing market and customer requirements. Achieving this kind of agility, however, is not so easy when products are mature and rooted in older, traditional development methodologies (which is the case for many ISVs today.)  Where does one start? Who or what must start it? What exactly does agility accomplish in the end?  These are just a few of the many questions that organizations face as they consider this quest for agility, as well as what enterprise agility means to ISVs today, what experts have to say about agility, plus the human and technology resources required to achieve it.  In addition, special attention to BPM technology and its role in enterprise agility.
