Connecting BPM to SCM and CRM

There are various BPM (Business Process Management) tools available in the market today. The entire BPM landscape offers interesting possibilities for organizations to integrate and optimize their business processes, in a complete end-to-end sense. A complete implementation of BPM by an organization must extend its boundaries - to its suppliers on one side and to its customers on the other side. The idea behind the title of this post "Connecting BPM to SCM and CRM" is a result of the above thought. A BPM (Business Process Management) implementation which embraces its suppliers through SCM (Supply Chain Management) and embraces its customer through CRM (Customer Relationship Management) is probably the most effective and efficient way to achieve and sustain business success.
