Roundtrip Business Process Management is the ability to leverage technology to:

• Model processes with a graphical tool.
• Automate and Integrate processes based on this model - taking advantage of business rule engines, workflow, and high-performance integration technologies to create a seamless, efficient process layer across multiple people, applications and databases.
• Participate in, manage, and monitor processes through an intuitive dashboard interface.
• Report and analyze a process based on live process data - either at a point in time or time-phased over a period of time - to identify potential issues or areas for improvement.
• Simulate and model process changes based on REAL process data - drawn automatically from the process database. Perform what if analysis and begin to predict trends based on past process performance. Determine what process changes will have the most positive impact and go back to Step One to apply them to the actual process.
