| business continuity software gartner: Social BPM Keith D. Swenson, 2011-01-01 Business Process Management and Workflow are, by their very nature, social activities. The collaboration and communication patterns that are now increasingly referred to as social computing were also fundamental to the BPM and workflow models of the early 1990s. Yet it has been the recent explosion of social computing and accompanying success of social production, from Linux to Wikipedia, and Facebook to Twitter, which have had the most dramatic impact on collaboration in business environments. Today we see the transformation of both the look and feel of BPM technologies along the lines of social media, as well as the increasing adoption of social tools and techniques democratizing process development and design. It is along these two trend lines; the evolution of system interfaces and the increased engagement of stakeholders in process improvement, that Social BPM has taken shape. Table of Contents The Quantum Organization: How Social Technology will Displace the Newto-nian view The Role of Trust and Reputation in Social BPM Change Management Processes How to Link BPM Governance and Social Collaboration through an Adaptive Paradigm Leveraging Social BPM for Enterprise Transformation BPM, Social Technology, Collaboration and the Workplace of the Future A Model-Driven Approach to Social BPM Applications How Social Technologies Enhance the BPM Experience for all Partici-pants Voice of the Network Through Social BPM Evidence-Based Service; Listening to Customers to Improve Customer-Service Processes Taking Channel and Distribution Management Social and Contextual Social Technology Makes the World a Better Place: Pro Bono BPM Dynamic Clinical Pathways Adaptive Case Management for Medical Profes-sionals A Case Study of BPM in a Kaizen Environment Next Generation Social Media: Alignment of Business Processes & Social In-telligence Next Generation BPM Suites: Social and Collaborative Directories and Appendices include Glossary of Social BPM Terms |
| business continuity software gartner: Business Process Technology Dirk Draheim, 2010-08-09 Currently, we see a variety of tools and techniques for specifying and implementing business processes. The problem is that there are still gaps and tensions between the different disciplines needed to improve business process execution and improvement in enterprises. Business process modeling, workflow execution and application programming are examples of disciplines that are hosted by different communities and that emerged separately from each other. In particular, concepts have not yet been fully elaborated at the system analysis level. Therefore, practitioners are faced again and again with similar questions in concrete business process projects: Which decomposition mechanism to use? How to find the correct granularity for business process activities? Which implementing technology is the optimal one in a given situation? This work offers an approach to the systematization of the field. The methodology used is explicitly not a comparative analysis of existing tools and techniques – although a review of existing tools is an essential basis for the considerations in the book. Rather, the book tries to provide a landscape of rationales and concepts in business processes with a discussion of alternatives. |

| business continuity software gartner: The Secure Online Business Handbook Jonathan Reuvid, 2006-06-03 The Web is an exciting but unstable place to do business. The potential rewards are high but so are the risks, and the effective management of these risks 'online' is likely to be the greatest business enabler or destroyer of the next decade. Information security is no longer an issue confined to the IT department - it is critical to all operational functions and departments within an organization. Nor are the solutions purely technical, with two-thirds of security breaches caused by human error, management controls and processes. Risk to the integrity, availability and confidentiality of e-business activities comes in many forms - fraud, espionage, viruses, spamming, denial of service - and the potential for damage or irretrievable loss is very real. The Secure Online Business Handbook is designed as a practical guide for managers in developing and implementing appropriate strategies for online risk management. The contributions in this fully revised and updated new edition draw on a wide range of expertise and know-how, both in IT and in other disciplines such as the law, insurance, accounting and consulting. Security should not be an afterthought in developing a strategy, but an integral part of setting up sustainable new channels of communication and business. |

| business continuity software gartner: Core Concepts of Accounting Information Systems Mark G. Simkin, James L. Worrell, Arline A. Savage, 2018-02-13 Accounting Information systems (AIS) have become indispensable in the field, and this book provides clear guidance for students or professionals needing to get up to speed. Designed to suit a one-semester AIS course at the graduate, undergraduate, or community college level, Core Concepts of Accounting Information Systems explores AIS use and processes in the context of modern-day accounting. Coverage includes conceptual overviews of data analytics, accounting, and risk management, as well as detailed discussion of business processes, cybercrime, database design and more to provide a well-rounded introduction to AIS. Case studies reinforce fundamental concepts using real-world scenarios that encourage critical thinking, while AIS-at-Work examples illustrate complex procedures or concepts in everyday workplace situations. Test Yourself questions allow students to gauge their level of understanding, while End of Chapter questions stimulate application of new skills through problems, cases, and discussion questions that facilitate classroom dialogue. Practical, current, relevant, and grounded in everyday application, this book is an invaluable resource for students of managerial accounting, tax accounting, and compliance. |
