Abstract

VAN SCHALKWYK, P.G.  and  LOTRIET, H.H.. Web 2.0-support for change management during BPMS implementation using an open source approach. S. Afr. J. Ind. Eng. [online]. 2011, vol.22, n.2, pp.161-174. ISSN 2224-7890.

The authors argue that business process management systems (BPMS) are exposed to similar risks of failure as are traditional enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems. Change management is a significant critical success factor, and has to be managed well. Given the socio-technical nature of the implementation environment, communication and collaboration are crucially important to the success of change management. The authors provide an example of how collaboration and communication, as part of change management during BPMS implementation, can be achieved in practice, based on the use of Web 2.0 tools and an open source approach.
