Software AG, the global leader in business process excellence (BPE), has announced its 7th Annual User Conference - ProcessForum 2012 - is now open for users to register their attendance for the keynote and technical sessions, at www.processforumsouthafrica.com.
To be held on 6 June at Vodacom World, Midrand, north of Johannesburg, ProcessForum is the premier flagship event for the local user community.
“We had in excess of 600 attendees in 2011,” says Marketing Director Dominique Zuma, “and judging by the incoming registrations, we hope to beat those numbers this year.
ProcessForum mirrors the format of the company's annual global user conference to be held in Orlando, Florida, USA later this year. Keynotes include Software AG's Chief Technical Officer Dr Wolfram Jost, who will present the global roadmap, and Ivo Totev - Chief Marketing Officer and Head of Global Consulting, as well as Luigi van Geest of Combined Computer Services, in the Netherlands, who will be presenting new technologies and a case study, respectively.
Two other keynote guest speakers are (the other) Michael Jackson and futurist Neil Jacobsohn, and the afternoon is given over to technical presentations and technology demonstrations.
“We always try to create a programme that will give our customers insight into our roadmap, trends, solutions and technologies,” says Zuma. “It's a jam-packed day where customers get all the benefits of a global event, with local flavour.”
Topics include:
* Using enterprise BPM to transform your business, boost process performance, and make faster and better decisions
