This month’s topic of my weekly blogs is around the wonderful capabilities of #process mining , one of the hottest topics around in the world of #BPM.

Satellite modeling sounds pretty spacy, but it’s not from out of space. It’s rather quite down-to-earth and will make your modeling life much easier.

This weeks’ and actually this months’ topic in my #BPM blogs is risk & compliance management and despite the fact that I am not a risk management expert, I do have some thoughts to share on how I think this topic could or even should be linked to the business processes.
