Before starting for the second day of ARIS ProcessWorld on tour I want to give you some impressions about the evening event that took place in SAS Radisson Scandinavia yesterday evening.

Here at ARIS BPM Community and ARIS BPM Blog, one would expect that we all have a common understanding what ARIS stands for.

At the 14th of October the second BPM theme day for the SAP user group was organized in the Netherlands. The theme of the day was: Will the CIO be replaced by the Chief Processing Officer?
