19. Oracle BPA Suite Value Statement
“For many companies, optimizing key business
processes can produce a competitive edge that
directly drives increased revenue. However, the
difficulty of modeling those business processes and
running them across inflexible IT systems is often an
impediment to achieving this goal.
Oracle's Business Process Analysis Suite not only
provides the most optimal tools for modeling your
business but also helps bridge the gap between
business process design and implementation, resulting
in IT systems that are more responsive to changing
business needs”
