Process management technology ''being adopted by organisations''UK businesses and bodies are increasingly turning to new responsive process management technology, a specialist claims.

Progress Software chief technical officer Dr John Bates suggests a key problem for man organisations is how to monitor the effectiveness of the policies they adopt.

He explained by embracing new responsive management techniques, companies are able to identify bottlenecks and threats to their current processes.

Dr Bates forecast social networks will play a greater role during 2011, as firms attempt to become "more responsive to instant requests from sites like Twitter".

The expert said this will help companies "determine what's working and what's not and set the right course of action".

His remarks come after a survey by Vanson Bourne for Progress Software indicated business leaders are feeling under pressure to do more with less next year, with 72 per cent investing in new technology in order to take advantage of the upturn as the economic recovery continues.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800298104-ADNFCR
