Business Process Management (BPM) and Automation
The
goal of business process management (BPM) is to align all
facets of an organization to its customer’s requirements.
In doing so, BPM enhances process efficiency and effectiveness.
One proven way to accomplish this is through process automation.
BTI’s staff is experienced in all aspects of business process
automation and is a partner with Metastorm Inc., using its
Metastorm BPM? development tool.
BTI’s customers span industry and government. BTI’s customers include major information technology companies, large financial institutions, small business, and the U.S. Government, including the U.S. Intelligence Community.
Here are just a couple of examples of how our business process automation services can help you:
- BTI delivered an automation project recognized by Metastorm as providing the highest return-on-investment for a Fortune 200 company
- BTI created a distributed, automated employee annual performance review system for a 1200+ person organization—producing a review audit trail and eliminating late reviews and incorrect paperwork
- BTI implemented an invoice processing system, saving an organization $800,000 in costs from penalties and processing of second (and third) invoices

BTI can automate your processes using business process management
technology more than 24 times faster than traditional automation
through software development. Think of this another way: a
project that would normally cost $100,000 will cost only $4,000!
Plus, BTI can deploy a solution on your servers or a low-cost
solution hosted on one of our secure, distributed, backup
servers.
Our capabilities can help your organization:
- Reduce administrative barriers to smooth work flow as processes cross boundaries from person to person and office to office

- Shrink rework costs needed to correct manually-made mistakes
