How does Class-Based Engineering optimize Business Process Reengineering?
BPR encourages the formation of multi-disciplinary teams of people that concentrate on fulfilling a business process. These ‘process teams’ extend across traditional organizational boundaries. BPR failures occur when conflicts and integration problems arise when attempting to link together disparate applications that functionally support a common business process. For example, a residential loan origination business process team might have to log on to one system to perform data entry, log on to a second system to perform a credit analysis, and log on yet to a third system to obtain rate information, and so on.

These types of systems are difficult to integrate, interface, and reuse; qualities which are pre-requisites for successful BPR-enabling systems. Reengineered business processes are not static.
