Business Process Modeling (BPM) is the capturing of Alert and other data and the flow of the data through each and every facet of the business to ensure a complete and accurate accounting of the obsolescence impact. Obsolescence management requires input from several parties before a resolution is formed to a specific problem such as EOL, or process changes. In this process, each and every department, process, task, step, resource, result, measurement, audit, and corrective action is captured via the Precience web-based work flows. This method completely identifies the business needs from a business process or functional standpoint. In addition, it also tracks and audits all levels of detail from a data element perspective. The delivered end result of this method is a completely outlined BPM of the entire scope area (including assessment into interfacing business areas), finalizing required features and functionality that is necessary in an application solution.

Precience provides a leading obsolescence tracking tools. This involves graphically modeling your obsolescence process, and providing the necessary workflows to support corrective action.
