ENGLEWOOD, CO -- 04/29/08 --
BusinessGenetics, leading provider of Business (Process) Modeling
consulting services, training and software, based on the
xBML(TM) business modeling
approach, was recently mentioned in a research note by leading analyst
group Gartner, Inc.
"We think this is a testament to the wide and rapidly increasing adoption
of the xBML business modeling method and software by corporations of all
sizes. The approach has been particularly well received by business
representatives and Subject Matter Experts. It 'demystifies' complex
business processes and translates corporate operational complexity into
simple and easily understandable business terms. We believe this is a vital
component of BPM (Business Process Management) success. Adoption of costly
and complicated BPM software is of little benefit unless solid business
buy-in is forthcoming. And more importantly, BPM software will not function
or deliver as advertised, unless business processes are well defined, to an
adequate level of granularity," says Cedric Tyler, President of
BusinessGenetics and lead author of "Business Genetics," Wiley 2007.
Bill Rosser, a Gartner research Fellow notes, "It is not easy to represent
a business process accurately. Process modeling experts have become skilled
at capturing and documenting models; unfortunately, models typically are
not easily understood by business people, and their benefits are often not
self-evident," in his research paper titled, "Taking Advantage of
User-Friendly Business Process Modeling," 7 April 2008.
The current economic downturn is coercing many organizations to reduce
operating costs and streamline or automate processes. Historically
companies have approached cost containment on a macro or broad scale level.
This often results in detrimental effects to revenue or client
satisfaction, which in today's volatile market, can be costly.
Consequently, organizations are adopting a more "surgical" approach to
budget reductions and by means of newer technologies such as xBML, are able
to obtain a clearer picture of where non-value add processes and work
occurs.
"New tools are emerging that support more user-friendly process modeling
approaches that can be enhanced by bridging into other tools to get the
more complete view that the technical staff requires," says Rosser. "Early
results show that systems built to support the automation of new business
processes using tools that support user-friendly modeling are far more
likely to be successful than traditional approaches."
"Successful use of the xBML technology has been demonstrated at over 20
Fortune 500 companies, as well as at the federal government. It is claimed
that over a billion dollars in opportunities have been identified for
existing clients. The rigor embedded in the methodology enables business
specialists to literally 'see' how the organization functions. Cost
reduction opportunities can readily be identified and complex downstream
effects are easily distinguished in our software," says Tyler.
xBML is a new approach to business modeling that has delivered immense
return to the bottom line of many organizations. xBML enables organizations to
gain an exact, comprehensive, 5 dimensional view of their business -- one
that depicts the precise, complex relationship between operations,
information, resources, and technology within a multi-dimensional business
model. Proven in over 500 business modeling projects within the Fortune 500
& Federal Government, xBML has also been used to automate the generation of
business requirements, drive quantifiable business improvement, and to
ensure regulatory compliance.
