IDS Scheer Customers Speak at Gartner's Business Process Management Conference

Two customers of IDS Scheer, a leading provider of business process management (BPM), will speak at Gartner's BPM Summit in London, UK, from April 28 to 30, 2008. In an executive keynote and an end-user case study, ABN Amro and Alenia Aeronautica report on how strategic process management using ARIS Platform can leverage business performance. This year's theme at Gartner's Business Process Management Summit is “Create and Sustain a Continuous Process Improvement Culture”.

This year's BPM Summit hosted by Gartner covers both, creation and development of process management. The focus on "creation" will apply to those new to BPM - how do I get started? "Sustain" is for those who have a BPM effort underway and want to keep it sharp. The event shows not only the technical perspective like BPMS vendors, infrastructure and best practices. Gartner emphasizes BPM's management challenges: organizational design, roles and responsibilities, strategic planning, metrics and methods. The research firm states, BPM is a management capability enabled by technology assets. According to IDS Scheer, this falls in line with its promise that optimized processes using ARIS improve management relevant KPIs like turnover and profitability.

Under that aspect, two of IDS Scheer's customers speak at the BPM Summit from April 28 to 30, in London, UK. ABN Amro and Alenia Aeronautica, a company of the Finmeccanica Group, report on how strategic process management using ARIS Platform can leverage business performance.

The ABN Amro executives Theo van den Hurk and Jos Wieleman will do the Executive Keynote on "Creating 'One Single Point of Truth for Business, Compliance and IT' Using BPM". The longtime IDS Scheer customer explains how its BPM solutions department designed and implemented a BPM methodology. This methodology or approach leveraged external best practice processes and created one compliant business architecture which encompassed multiple requirements and viewpoints from disparate groups: business, IT, compliance, operational risk, finance and audit. This comprehensive business architecture is the basis for the implementation of one global Group Finance SOA.
