Information technology (IT) tools are seen as accuracy and effective enabler of BPR approach in restructuring activities. This paper focuses on analyzing on how IT can be an enabler of BPR approach to restructuring processes in an organization for the purpose of enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of processes. It presents the roles of IT in BPR for organizations. It also presents challenges on organizations when implementing the BPR.
