A process is a series of steps or activities that delivers an end result. In business, that result is the delivery of a product or service to a customer or end user. Processes of all types drive business and include everything from routine administrative procedures, like time reporting or expense reimbursement, to business-critical activities such as order fulfillment. The efficiency with which a business executes its processes is the key to its success.

Business processes have become increasingly complex as customers, partners and suppliers demand instantaneous service and access to information. Manual, paper-based procedures not only aren't fast enough by today's standards, they also introduce too many opportunities for processing errors and delays.

In response to this challenge, organizations have implemented enterprise-wide systems like Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and Supply Chain Management (SCM) to manage and improve their processes. And while they do benefit from these systems, integrating an organization's people, its processes and its applications has become more complex as well - with larger organizations having an average of seven different line-of-business systems in place.

Effectively capturing, managing and sharing business information is critical in today's fast-paced business environment because information drives the processes that drive business.
