    1. Having addressed performance in the front office, many organisations are seeking further efficiencies and have turned to an area that is often overlooked in technological and process enhancements: back office operations. Back office operations encompass a range of white-collar processes that are necessary for an organisation to function and serve its customers, vendors, and employees, such as claims processing and document management.

      A variety of technologies have been developed to monitor and measure these areas of the organisation. Operational Management Platform solutions are being provided from three distinct classes of vendors: specialised niche applications, Business Intelligence vendors and ERP vendors.
