Generally, the first step for enterprises in shifting to electronic processes is to deploy an ERP system such as SAP, Oracle, and JD Edward. ERP is definitely the backbone of the electronic process of enterprises. It is used for the planning of internal resources and can process large quantities of non-personalized corporate data. But because enterprises usually have many high variation processes that require a high degree of human involvement. In addition, ERP is usually large and complex, and predefined industry-based modules cannot satisfy artificial process problems, and cost of customization and maintenance are high, resulting CIOs having to face the following problems: |
|
- Users complain existing system are no convenient and flexible enough.
- Tiresome of having to adjust to the rapid changes in the environment and regulations.
- Difficult to obtain budget needed for projects.

So companies that use ERP systems to integrate information needed to a complete Business Process Management (BPM) system to fully integrate material processes, finance processes, and personnel processes with knowledge processes and information processes when the processes are in operation.

The Power Process BPM Suite from AboveE utilizes the SOA architecture to assist enterprises in self-examination and redesigning core business processes, and complete finance and operation features. With integrated with a Portal, it can simultaneously provide access to both internal and external information, forming a detailed “network nervous system” to supplement the shortcomings of the existing ERP system, enabling business processes to become electronic and transparent, which decreases data re-entry and human errors, while integrating system information and providing management with immediate and correct information in making the correct decisions to establish a complete management mechanism. For example, sales personnel have to create many quotation forms on a daily basis, and the ERP system can store each of these quotation forms in a computer database. But sales personnel also have to visit customers every day, so they cannot examine the responses to the quotation form. Through the scheduling mechanism in a BPM system, it can organize quotation forms that have been replied to on regular intervals and automatically send notices to the sales personnel or their superiors so that the sales department can take appropriate actions in a timely manner to increase the rate of customer orders.
