ARIS BPM Blog

If I am not live blogging from ARIS ProcessWorld, you can find me at the SOA booth in the exhibition area, where we demo our SOA product. It seems the interest in SOA is growing. Many people are passing by who have read about it and who want to see what’s behind. One common question is about a very short introduction to SOA. So let’s try that here as well…

I am writing live from the Business Process Excellence Award. Each year, the best BPM projects receive an award from IDS Scheer. The award is being presented in six categories. The first category is Enterprise BPM. This year's winner is Boehringer Ingelheim. The company created an international BPM framework and achieved an improved business process performance.

At the end of the first day of ARIS ProcessWorld Dr. Wolfram Jost gave an overview of the latest product developments. He provided some new details about the ARIS integration in SAP.

I am writing live from the ARIS Product Innovation Track with the promising subtitle: Leading-Edge Concepts and Technologies for Innovative Process Management. The presentation started with a Star Wars look-alike movie. After a virtual dive from outer space into the Research laboratories of IDS Scheer, the first presentation began on the first level of the virtual laboratory.

As already mentioned in a my post from ARIS ProcessDay in Split , the IDS Scheer Tablesoccer Championship Finals were held in Berlin. On 8 tables , 32 teams played in 4 groups.

Having to deliver the first presentation after lunch is not always an appreciated task, because participants tend to be late and to walk in during the session. Steen Hadsbjerg of A.P. Moeller-Maersk was not facing this problem: His session was well attended from the beginning.

Yesterday, ARIS UserDay was already crowded, but today’s ARIS ProcessWorld has even more people. Some minutes ago, the Gartner session ended and the room was completely filled. There were several people sitting or standing at the walls to be able to listen to the presentation by Marc Kerremans of Gartner...

The IDS Scheer ProcessWorld has started with a Keynote speech by Professor Scheer. The keynote room of the Maritim Hotel in Berlin is completely filled by the audience. As a passionate jazz saxophonist, he starts, of course, with a short jazz play introduction with the song "Milestones".

What do business performance management and soccer have in common? In the final keynote during ARIS UserDay, Dr. Helge Hess and Jörg Klückmann showed where both topics fit together. Read on to learn how both domains benefit from real-time analytics.

Today, the amount of hybrid products is increasing. Hybrid products consist on one hand of a physical good like a wind mill and on the other hand of services around the physical good. SKF GmbH and H2O GmbH are currently presenting the results of a research effort supported by the EU Commission to create an integrated reference model for maintenance processes around industrial goods.

I am currently attending the Six Sigma roundtable during ARIS UserDay. In contrast to ordinary presentations, this is a discussion between five Six Sigma experts. They are sharing their experience of introducing Six Sigma in their organisations and the motivation for it.

Today I joined the customer experience session by Rob Davis at ARIS User Day. Rob is a well known and renowned expert in process modelling. At British Telecom (BT), he’s been working as a principal consultant for process architecture, design and modelling for many years now.During this time, he has gained lots of experience in the sage of ARIS by building up a common process management approach at BT, one of the world’s leading telecom providers.

One of the key feature of ARIS UserDay is the many hands-on sessions where users can try the latest version of the different ARIS products. Today in the morning, the hands-on for ARIS SOA Architect and ARIS Business Rules Designer took place.

Today we provide you with a new episode of ARIS TV. In episode 4 I had the chance to interview Karl Wagner, Head of ARIS Product and Solution Management and R&D.
