In the morning, I didn't noticed that we also booked some billboards around our office to guide people coming by car. I think that is pretty cool, isn't it? ;-)

Can't remember how many phone calls and emails it took me to get my new DSL Internet connection finally working. I don't want to blame them here, since everything is working now fine. But just a few minutes ago I learnt that in Switzerland my DSL order could have been handled so much smoother. If I only knew that earlier...

Maybe the most exciting presentation this morning was about ARIS MashZone. It was given by Dr. Helge Hess. Helge started by outlining some trends we noticed in the past years and which finally led to ARIS MashZone:

The keynote of Dr. Jost was directly followed by a presentation of ARIS Express given by Karl Wagner. Karl only had a few slides and instead used most his presentation time to do a live demo of ARIS Express. I have been at the demo booth of ARIS Express in the morning and there are some repeating questions, which were also addressed by Karl.

The keynotes were not conducted in the office building, because we don't have a room large enough for everyone to fit in. However, just a small walk away is an event building, which we used for the opening keynotes today.

It is ARIS UserDay 2009. There are some obvious signs in the office building. One most employees will spot is that some of the usual parking lots are now reserved for customers. Normally, that shouldn't bother me, because I'm going to work by bicycle, but today I decided to take the car, too. So where should I put it?

BPM is coming home! Tomorrow, the 2 day event ARIS UserDay 2009 starts and BPM minds meet in Saarbrücken, Germany at the headquarter of IDS Scheer. The event consists of customer presentations, hands-on sessions, product presentations and discussions.

It was a tough race against our counter. Since more than 150 days this counter was running down to the final release date of ARIS Express. And it was publically visible all the time! We almost made it on time, just one hour late ;-)

ARIS UserDay 09 will start on September 22 at IDS Scheer headquarters in Saarbrücken (Germany). As the project manager for this unique ARIS event I`m very happy that I got 50 tickets for just 99 Euros each for the ARIS Community. Register now because they will be gone soon!

Today I want to share some thoughts with you about data modeling in ARIS, because this topic is frequently discussed here in the community and also is subject of many internal discussions.

In my last article I gave you an overview about the features of Oracle BPA Suite (OBPA) if you consider it as a single modeling tool. Now I want to explain how the ARIS products and OBPA are playing together at customer side. Positioning and field aspects

Today is a big day for us, because we just released a new and important feature here in ARIS Community. As of today, you can upload and share your BPM models with everyone. Just create a model in ARIS Express, save the file, and upload it to ARIS Community. To have a running example, see the model on the left. The model shows the structure of the German government as of today. There is also a link added to each person to get further information. For example, select Germany's chancellor Angela Merkel and press F7 key.

Implementing an SOA often proves difficult in practice and, ultimately, it’s not possible to deliver on all the promises associated with the subject. Failing to close the gap between operational and IT departments is one of the most common problems encountered, with the service-oriented application landscape not being fully aligned with the organization’s business processes.
