Furthermore, it associates the resources with the processes, enabling managers to efficiently control the use of their resources within the processes of the company.

Modularity, not just modules

The concept of modularity is often misunderstood. Just because the software claims that the various parts of its applications are

modules, that does not mean that they are actually modular. iBPMS modularity involves clearly specified interfaces so the development on existing and new process applications take place within each one without affecting the others.

This truly modular architecture allows designers to focus on building solutions to local problems without disturbing the global system.
