"Business process modeling (BPM) is the data visualization of companies’ workflows and business processes to provide insight and identify areas for improvement. The field focuses on creating detailed graphic representations of these processes to reduce waste, enhance cycle speed, improve upon existing workflows, uncover inefficiencies, and remove redundancies. Business process modeling focuses on representing business flows 'as-is' - in their current state, with no modifications - as well as predictive models that highlight potential improvements in the process."

"Business process modeling (BPM) links business strategy to IT systems development to ensure business value. It combines process/workflow, functional, organizational and data/resource views with underlying metrics such as costs, cycle times and responsibilities to provide a foundation for analyzing value chains, activity-based costs, bottlenecks, critical paths and inefficiencies."
