Process Management
To remain competitive, profitable and able to manage customer requests in a timely manner, you face a set of difficult challenges. You must respond quickly to changing market conditions, deliver outstanding customer service and meet increasingly stringent regulatory demands, all while minimizing or eliminating time- and resource consuming manual tasks. Many firms have addressed these challenges by working to better manage information, create standard processes and enforce more stringent controls. But the next step forward is to provide true business process automation with the addition of improved operational transparency. Whether automating the many steps in the valuation cycle, managing a data warehouse feed or orchestrating trade flows from trading systems to investment accounting, the automation of workflow and monitoring is the next wave of organizational efficiency. This can be achieved with business process management (BPM).
OVERVIEW
Business process management is the full life cycle orchestration, control and monitoring of all interactive and automated steps within a structured business process. It allows you to continuously optimize your activities and processes and aims to improve agility and operational performance.
HOW ASSET ARENA CAN HELP
SunGard’s Asset Arena suite uses business process management and monitoring technology (enabled by SunGard’s Infinity) to bring you more value by supporting your existing business processes and workflows. For example, fund accounting processes can be linked to a dashboard to help an organization manage critical dependencies for complex tasks. The dashboard even allows forecasting of estimated completion times for all of those tasks. Furthermore: third party systems can also be integrated into this dashboard to deploy consistent workflows beyond the boundaries of individual systems. SunGard is making BPM an inherent part of Asset Arena’s solutions helping you take your operations to the next level.
