Background

In less than 5 years, the majority of customer interactions will no longer be person-to-person or even mobile-to-mobile, but through engagement via intelligent agents, and increasingly between the agents themselves.

Analytics will drive an ever-growing number of decisions, not as historic reports but rather through real-time support on mobile and wearable devices. Robots once hidden among warehouses and on the factory floor will become the fastest growing sector of the workforce, participating in a vast array of knowledge worker processes.

These advances are part of the data-driven transformation now well underway, resulting in a volume of data that is nearly incomprehensible.

Consider all data produced from the beginning of history to the year 2002 – that entire volume is now produced every 10 minutes. Yet within 5 years, the same volume will take less than a second. “Big Data” has never been so large, nor presented such a critical role to the business and the processes which drive it.

What do these changes mean for Business Process Management (BPM)? In the era of the Internet of Things where smart homes, cameras, appliances, cars, apparel, robots, drones, human communication tools (mobile, desktop) and more with every imaginable device connected, BPM must be everywhere.

With estimates of 30 billion or more connected devices, there will be far too many devices and interactions will be far too complex to keep pace with traditional software techniques.

The only way to make sense of the flow of information is to visualize them as part of processes that exchange and process the information byproduct forming something we call BPM Everywhere.

Launched jointly by the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) and Future Strategies, Inc., “BPM Everywhere” will be the most important BPM book of 2015, addressing the reality of digital business and what the impact of the Internet of Things is presenting for business processes and architectures, not in some distant scenario but today!

The book will discuss critical issues currently facing BPM adopters and practitioners, such as the key roles played by process mining uncovering engagement patterns and the need for process management platforms to coordinate interaction and control of smart devices.
