Gartner calls for nominations

Gartner is accepting nominations for its inaugural Business Process Management (BPM) Excellence Awards, reports Webwire.

Nominations will be accepted through 15 July via an online entry form from any end-user organisation that has implemented a BPM programme or project with resulting business impact.

Enterprises are invited to enter and work within a case study framework to describe their BPM project and why it demonstrates the value of BPM. A team of Gartner analysts will evaluate and select three winners based on a strategic framework developed by Gartner to help companies maximise the probability of success.

State College-based Optical Image Technology(OIT) and Harrisburg-based Computer Document Management Solutions (CDMS) have created a third-party liability processing solution to meet insurer demands for integrated and fast data access, says ECM Connection.

The solution is the next evolution of a project for which OIT was the winning vendor for the Carl E. Nelson Best Practices Award in the large company category, presented at AIIM on 31 March in Philadelphia.

OIT's DocFinity suite of document management and BPM/workflow software, combined with CDMS' experience with systems integration, knowledge of DocFinity software, and TPL processing, allows the team to configure and optimise the solution to meet unique needs.

Savvion has signed Diebold as a new customer, states, Ajax World Magazine.

Diebold says it has been committed to implementing Lean Six Sigma initiatives across its organisation to improve BPM and drive measurable improvement for customer satisfaction, speed, accuracy, and waste reduction.

While other commercially available tools have helped Diebold map processes, the company needed to perform simulations and model costs. “We required a fast method to model, simulate, develop, and launch electronic workflows,” said Mike Hinnebusch, manager with Diebold's transformation management group, which is responsible for business process reengineering.
