DVT, Microsoft, Metastorm to host BPM seminar

Johannesburg, 07 Aug 2006

DVT, Microsoft South Africa and Metastorm are to host an executive seminar on the topic of "Breakaway BPM: A New Era of Business Process Management" on 8 August. The seminar will be presented at Microsoft`s offices in William Nicol Drive, Bryanston, starting at 8.30am.

The seminar is being held in response to surging interest in BPM, driven by a growing awareness that this relatively new discipline confers significant competitive advantage.

"Breakaway BPM organisations have realised great results from BPM and have embraced it as a way of doing business that is no longer optional," says Trevor van Rensburg, products director at DVT Gauteng. "It has now become one of the top priorities in their organisations. Breakaway BPM organisations are gaining market recognition for their innovation and leadership.

"Progressive executives are looking for practical advice on how to transform their business with technology," adds Van Rensburg. "They are aggressive about learning which solutions can help them reach their business goals. These executives will benefit most from this seminar."

Subjects to be covered during the seminar will include:
* Breakaway BPM: An opportunity to differentiate and gain market share
* Enhancing the user experience with Microsoft SharePoint
* Metastorm BPM and Microsoft SharePoint integration demonstration

"Whether you have a head start on a business process management (BPM) project or you are just learning what BPM is - your ability to take advantage of this new way of thinking about business processes are the same," adds Van Rensburg. "Your current state determines whether you should extend what you have today or skip the basics and leap forward to the latest innovations available to you. Either way, this seminar will equip you with all the information you need to make a correct BPM decision."

As the first breakaway BPM vendor, Metastorm is a leader in business process management (BPM) software and best practice methodologies for modelling, automating, integrating and improving both human and system-based processes. Metastorm BPM is a complete solution for roundtrip process improvement, designed specifically to address complex processes that are unique to organisations. Metastorm`s 1 200-plus global client base in manufacturing, retail, financial services, business services, healthcare and government are achieving rapid ROI and enterprise process advantage."

Following on from the executive seminar will be a special Metastorm Community Meeting for existing Metastorm Users. The meeting will also take place at Microsoft`s premises and will include an interactive exchange of ideas, issues and real-world applications of Metastorm BPM.

Metastorm`s director of product management, Neil Hudspeth, will be guest speaker and on hand to share details on the latest Metastorm BPM Version 7.0 innovations. Hudspeth will also demonstrate the Envision module which adds powerful simulation, process improvement and "what if" capabilities to the Metastorm BPM suite.
