Part 6: Enterprise BPM Framework; BPM within SAP projects
Many SAP project managers are struggling with the question whether they should integrate BPM within their SAP projects. For them the ROI of BPM for their project is not obvious.

Part 5: Enterprise BPM Framework; Six Sigma
Six Sigma is popular today, particularly within large corporations, however the following improvements are essential: 1 Although many different methods and tools are available, there is no generally accepted BPM tooling and BPM governance method for conducting Six Sigma projects. 2 Despite the numerous statistical analysis options, there is no obvious way of accessing the relevant E2E process performance data. 3 It is difficult to integrate the Six Sigma project results within the BPM communication portal and ensure that the success be sustained after the project is completed. By combining the Six Sigma methodology of SAP and BPM, companies can increase speed, quality and sustainability of the (LEAN) Six Sigma projects.
