Jan 21, 2003

Intelligent Enterprise, the only publication dedicated to the strategic business applications that turn information into intelligence, today launched www.IntelligentBPM.com, an online community for business and IT professionals managing business performance management (BPM) projects. The site offers industry news, online features, resource guides, and abstracts of new BPM research that deliver the focused, customized information the Intelligent Enterprise audience needs to ensure low-risk, high-value BPM investments.

IntelligentBPM.com provides actionable information about best practices, methodologies, and technologies -- such as analytics, business intelligence, business process management, collaboration, data warehousing, enterprise portals, and knowledge management -- that are integral to BPM, and must be closely coordinated in order to understand and align businesses at the strategic, tactical and operational levels.

"Business performance management is an inherently complex topic that contains multiple technology selection, cultural/managerial, and project management nuances," stated Justin Kestelyn, Editor-in-Chief of Intelligent Enterprise. "For that reason, IT and business managers are craving vendor-neutral, actionable information that helps them make cost-effective BPM investments."

To achieve the full potential of BPM, businesses must leverage their existing technology investments and focus on future investments that can align with their business goals. To this end, IntelligentBPM.com covers relevant technology vendors and provides a credible and objective view on the trends and issues that affect these vendors and their ability to meet their customer's requirements.

Produced in association with Ventana Research, a California-based research and consulting group focused solely on BPM strategies, the site delivers the most relevant insight and knowledge from industry analysts, practitioners, consultants, and experts from across the industry. It is the fifth Intelligent Community in the Intelligent Enterprise Online family joining: IntelligentCRM.com, IntelligentEAI.com, IntelligentERP.com, and IntelligentKM.com.
