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 module.
*For more details on importing a module, see Prerequisite: Importing the APQC Libraries.
To access business processes of your enterprise:
1. Connect to HOPEX IT Portfolio Management as functional administrator.
2. Click the navigation menu, then Environment > Business Processes.
The list of business processes appears in the edit area.
