True, CeBIT 2009 was not really crowded but every booth or hallway faced the danger of total break down when "Arnie" Schwarzenegger made his tour of CeBIT together with Federal Chancellor Angela Merkel. People running behind him and pushing others to get at least a glimpse of the "Terminator" showed he still is a superstar...
Some time ago, Sandy Kemsley posted an interesting blog entitled "Do BPM vendors eat their own dog food?" which discussed whether BPM vendors use their own products, and if so, to what extent. This intrigued me, so I decided to find out for myself how much we folks at IDS Scheer use our own products for process intelligence purposes.
Research studies (EFQM) and survey reports (McKinsey) towards the ROI of BPM show increased revenue with 35% and reduced costs with 30% and an agile organization which is able to quickly adapt to changed market situations. But how can you determine the actual BPM benefits for a specific company and at which BPM costs?
Today, I will continue with my serial about ARIS User Groups worldwide. And I won't go far away: I will give you a picture about the German internet forum www.aris-user.de - there were also comments from other readers of our blog what's with German initiatives.

Business Process Management (BPM) is a key enabling factor for companies. Jim Sinur from Gartner talks about the top five benefits currently delivered by BPM . I will analyse and discuss them now. A previous Gartner survey said that BPM:
I'm sure that's why IDS Scheer had the confidence and optimism to take a booth at CeBIT again this year, despite the financial crisis. After all, it's the world's biggest IT trade show.
Now that I have addressed the context and concept of Process Intelligence , as well as its benefits and application areas in the banking industry , I will finally look into three cases to il
After having explored how Process Intelligence complements conventional business intelligence and reveals process behavior , I will now look into its benefits and application areas.
Last week I gave you an impression how BPMN looks like in ARIS . In the previous post, I mostly covered standard modelling features, but this week I will take a look at the more advanced features like BPMN process simulation and syntax checking. There was also an interesting question about how ARIS is handling BPMN sub-processes, which I cover first.
If you search the Internet for ARIS and BPMN modelling, you will find a lot of misinformation stating BPMN is not a first class modelling language in ARIS.
