The fifth annual BPM Congress 2008

The fifth annual Business Process Congress 2008 is based on five consecutive years of success of 100 attendees and over. The foremost business process event in South Africa will return to Johannesburg from 1-5 September 2008 at the Gallagher Estate, in Midrand.

The conference tackles the problems of process implementation, integration to an organisation's strategy and the fit between people, process and technology, in a five-day action-packed multi-speaker event.

The conference attracts delegates every year from large South African process-intensive organisations.

Says Project Lead Jackie van der Westhuizen: "The conference is not only an invaluable platform for knowledge-sharing between large process-intensive organisations, but is also a great exhibition of the latest technological solutions available."

Alongside the BPM Congress, exhibitors from all over the world are participating and delegates can expect to view the latest and most advanced solutions required in business process management. Ranging from equipment and technological solutions to monitoring and measuring a company's process success, the exhibition is not to be missed.

The fifth annual BPM Congress 2008 is tipped to attract more than 100 delegates over five days of interactive networking and information sharing.

As usual, the 2008 event will feature distinguished speakers such as Dr Michael Hammer, President of Hammer And Company; Dr Tony Gardiner, Process Executive at Nedbank Group Technology and Support Services; Jamil Fisher, Process Champion at Investec; Liqat Azam, Senior Audit Manager at Eskom; Zukiswa Ncunyana, Strategy & Transformation Manager of the Gauteng Shared Service Centre (GSSC); Paulene Pirithi, Senior Business Analyst at Eskom IM Business Architecture; Andre Jordaan, Manager: Business Performance Improvement - BSS & HR at Santam; Manfred Hertenberger, Business Intelligence Domain Architect at Sasol; Vincent Maher, Strategist at the Mail & Guardian; Dr Morris Pereira, Senior Manager at the Centre of Innovation (COI), Gauteng Shared Service Centre (GSSC); and Philip Venter, Group IT, Anglo Platinum.
