Defining Business Processes
APQC proposes standard repositories of business processes specific to each major activity sector.
*A business process represents a system that offers products or services to an internal or external client of the company or organization. At the higher levels, a business process represents a structure and a categorization of the business. It can be broken down into other processes. The link with organizational processes will describe the real implementation of the business process in the organization. A business process can also be detailed by a functional view.
A set of standard business process repositories from APQC is supplied with HOPEX IT Portfolio Management, in the APQC solution pack.
*For more details on importing a solution pack, see Importing the libraries.
