Press Release:
The winners of the 2011 BPM Excellence Awards have been announced! We had a great response to our call for submissions – 24 in all. A rigorous selection process was applied with participation from the entire Gartner BPM team, as well as analysts from our business applications and vertical industry groups. A huge “THANKS” to everyone who contributed. The winners will present at the Gartner BPM Summit in Baltimore, April 27-29. This will be a great opportunity to interact and learn from the leaders.
Our own Michele Cantara says: “Business process management continues to grow in popularity because it offers major business performance improvement advantages. Success in the adoption of BPM is heavily dependent on the ability to tackle people, process, and technology issues at the same time.
These organizations are excellent examples of knowing how to apply organization and change management disciplines and appropriate BPM technologies at different levels of BPM maturity. Each of these companies saw significant contributions to business outcomes, based on their use of BPM.”
These companies will be presented with their awards in the following five categories:
- Lincoln Trust Company: Advancing BPM Competency — Sustaining BPM in an organization requires building the competency and having a vision about how BPM will function within the enterprise. Lincoln Trust Company was able to deliver 120 percent return on investment (ROI) in the first year of its BPM program. As a result, BPM is now the way the organization works. Attend this session to hear Lincoln Trust Company discuss how BPM competencies have been incorporated into the decision-making and collaboration activities of executives, managers and workers.
- A U.S.-based State Department of Finance and Taxation: Attaining BPM Metrics and Performance — The bottom line for process improvement is surrounded by solid goals and metrics to measure end-to-end process improvement, as well as functional excellence. This State Department tax agency needed to resolve more than 400,000 exception filings in a timely fashion without adding head count. The department was able to reduce exception cycle time by 60 percent and save over $1 billion with BPM.
- MAXIMUS: Delivering Innovative BPM Solutions — Many organizations leverage process improvement for cost cutting and this is a staple for continued existence; however, the best processes exhibit innovation for organizations and constituents. Maximus, an $831 million provider of business process outsourcing services to government health and human services agencies, will explain its innovative use of process intelligence and process simulation, as well as its approach to fostering BPM adoption in its own and its clients’ workforces. In addition to winning the award for “Most Innovative Use” of BPM, Maximus also was the overall BPM Excellence Awards winner.
- UPS IT Shared Services Group: Furthering BPM Disciplines — Spreading the benefits of BPM on a large scale requires demonstrating success and reinvesting returns in deepening the level of process improvement habits and skills. The UPS IT Shared Services Group identified that a formal BPM platform was needed to aid in addressing a number of process and service challenges while driving change for enhanced business value and alignment. The company achieved the needed results utilizing only internal resources without the aid of outside vendor professional services consultants.
- The Carphone Warehouse: Leveraging BPM Technology — While process improvement is not solely dependent on BPM technology, many implementations utilize BPM technologies. The Carphone Warehouse Group is Europe’s leading independent retailer of mobile phones and services with over 2,400 stores in nine countries. It also includes Best Buy Europe. Carphone Warehouse used a cloud-based BPM platform to deploy 1,800 processes in eight months to 7,000 colleagues. As a result, it was able to increase customer satisfaction by up to 25 percent in 90 days.
