Business Process Management in Practice – Jon Pyke

On the 26th September 2007 from 14.00 – 17.00 hours Jon Pyke will speak on Business Process Management in Practice.

Everyone is talking about Business Process Management. But is BPM really a business tool, or just another piece of technology? Can BPM be the tool that finally allows IT and Business to work together seamlessly to achieve business goals? How should a BPM suite be selected, and who needs to be involved?

Jon Pyke has been involved with BPM since its inception, and is uniquely positioned to answer these and other questions. Jon is a globally recognized BPM Pioneer and Luminary, as well as being co-Founder and Chairman of the Workflow Management Coalition.

Fortis Insurance are an international provider of banking and insurance products, and an experienced user of BPM technologies. Their presentation will show how IT is actively involved in driving growth in sales and market share by using BPM to promote and support innovation.
