Business process reengineering aims to fundamentally rethink how work is done to improve customer service, cut costs, and increase competitiveness. It involves redesigning business processes that may be fragmented across departments to better support organizational goals and reduce costs. Reengineering focuses on assessing processes used to create products and services for customers. Information technology plays a key role in enabling new forms of collaboration and making information widely accessible, supporting decentralized decision making and mobile workforces.
