activities that combine to deliver something of value
(e.g. products, goods, services or information) to a
customer.

9. What is Business Process Management?
“The achievement of an organization’s objectives through
the improvement, management, and control of essential
business processes.”
12/13/11 © 2011 ASSD - Andreas Stolz Software Development 9

10. Why does it matter?
If not managed, processes tend to get out of control based
on the need of the moment or outdated tools – causing
inefficiencies.

14. So what does this have to do with Property
Management Systems?
“The first rule of any technology is that automation
applied to an efficient process will magnify the
