In a recent EMC Pulse blog, Rohit Gai, SVP & GM, Products and Solutions, Information Intelligence Group at EMC discusses a new report: “The Forrester Wave^TM: Smart Process Applications, Q2 2013”. According to the report, “smart process applications are a new and emerging category of applications designed to help CIOs and their firms improve the effectiveness of their human-centric business activities.”

On Wednesday, I’ll be presenting on a BPM.com Webcast along with our partner Beach Street, where we will be discussing this new and emerging category of smart process applications, along with detailing a couple of best-of-class examples where case management has measurably improved the performance of work and the quality of decisions.

In a recent EMC Pulse blog, Rohit Gai, SVP & GM, Products and Solutions, Information Intelligence Group at EMC discusses a new report: “The Forrester WaveTM: Smart Process Applications, Q2 2013”. According to the report, “smart process applications are a new and emerging category of applications designed to help CIOs and their firms improve the effectiveness of their human-centric business activities.”

Processes like contracts management are very collaborative in nature and require human involvement with the authoring, review, and approval of contracts. The goal of using smart process applications like the Beach Contracts Lifecycle Management Solution is to increase the productivity of people actively engaged in a highly collaborative business process or set of activities.

As part of a new initiative from EMC, a select set of partner-built EMC Certified Solutions are being made available to the global market directly from EMC. The EMC Certified Beach Street solution is directly available from EMC, and more information can be found in the EMC Solution Catalog.
