BPM Basics Launches as the First Comprehensive Website Dedicated to Business Process Management Fundamentals; Online Resource is the Only Dedicated Website for Helping IT and Business Users Understand Business Process Management.

VIENNA, Va. -- Today, BPM Basics launched as the first comprehensive online resource center fully dedicated to help IT and business users understand the evolution, usage and benefits of business process management (BPM). With BPM technology taking a more significant role in organizations' infrastructure, C-level executives and IT buyers are grasping to better understand the technology, when it is appropriate to consider deploying a BPM solution and what benefits can be reaped from an implementation. BPM Basics provides visitors with a complete overview, including explanations of the technology's foundation, various implementation examples as well as technical and business-oriented value statements - all presented in an easy-to-understand, user-friendly manner.

In a recent CIO Insight study, IT executives ranked BPM as the #1 technology that will most significantly and positively contribute to a company's ability to execute on its business strategy. BPM Basics was established to better explain the value of BPM and to provide useful, organized information to those evaluating BPM software and solutions. Unlike other BPM-related websites that currently exist, BPM Basics is geared toward IT and business users who are just beginning to research BPM and have little or no familiarity with the technology.

"BPTrends has been analyzing the market and educating practitioners on trends, directions and opportunities in BPM for many years," said Celia Wolf, CEO & Publisher, BPTrends. "We wholeheartedly support all efforts and initiatives that create awareness of the value of BPM to both the business and technical communities. By fostering a better understanding of the value of BPM, BPM Basics will help increase awareness of how BPM contributes to increased corporate performance."

Designed to help visitors find information easily and intuitively, BPM Basics is organized into three sections - BPM Content, BPM Tools and BPM Resources. BPM Content includes various educational whitepapers exploring what BPM is, how BPM creates value and where BPM is being used. BPM Tools gives users access to a BPM glossary that explains BPM-related terminology, various interactive BPM readiness tests, and also includes a section where visitors can interact with and ask a BPM expert questions. BPM Resources features links to relevant BPM articles, reports, events, classes and organizations. For more information, visit www.bpmbasics.com.
