Review ARIS @ Innovation World 2013

The agenda was packed with big names and great presentations (e.g. Lufthansa, Bank of America, amdocs); two highlights were the ones from Fonterra and The Coca Cola Company. Nigel Adler, Enterprise Architect at Fonterra had reached out to the event team in advance and had asked for a table, a chair and PLASTIC WRAP... Curious? Watch theimagevideo of his presentation on youtube, it is definitely worth it!

The Coca Cola Company also held a great presentation about "BPM in the Context of Global ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) Implementations". Petra Burgstaller spoke about the global implemantation of BPM in the context of ERP at Coca-Cola Bottling companies using SAP® and other solutions. Business process standardization and the implementation of best-practice processes are the company's key guiding principles. The slides are uploadedimagehere.

Software AG Named a Leader* in Gartner's Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Governance, Risk and Compliance Platforms

Leading industry analyst firm Gartner, Inc. places Software AG as a leader in the market of enterprise GRC platforms, which has matured to a strategic focus on enterprise risk management and business performance. Vendors were evaluated based on both their completeness of vision and ability to execute in the enterprise GRC platform market.

Gartner's evaluation of Software AG is primarily based on its ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager, which takes a process-focused approach to GRC. With this product, businesses can analyze and assess risks, automatically escalate issues for resolution and update management via an up-to-the-minute dashboard. It helps enterprises to comprehensively manage their compliance activities and analyze operational risks.

Our enterprise GRC platform combines Business Process Analysis with audit-proof workflows and turns risk and compliance management into a strategic management tool. All risk management and compliance topics are executed in an integrated central ARIS repository for maximum control, transparency, simplicity and efficiency.
