A picture is worth a thousand words. This is especially true in case of business process management (BPM), because it is much more convenient to analyse a graphical process model instead of reading bookshelves of working instructions.

To spread the word about business modelling, we start a contest where you can win an Apple iPod Touch 8GB. The only thing you have to do is create an ARIS Express model and submit it here in this group till the 30th of November. ARIS Express models can be submitted either in the “BPM is useful” or “BPM is fun” category. After the 30th of November, all members of ARIS Community are invited to vote for the best model in both categories and the winner of each category will get a shiny new Apple iPod Touch 8GB.

Here are some links, which you might find useful to get started:
