Today, ARIS ProcessWorld on Tour started with the stop in Munich. The first keynote was given by IDS Scheer's CEO Peter Gerard. Afterwards, Dr. Wolfram Jost gave his keynote about ARIS innovations.
The presentation of Dr. Jost has the title "Ubiquitous BPM through new ARIS innovations". Well, it seemed Dr. Jost doesn't feel very comfortable with the title and he refused to say it. Instead, speakers were used to play the word "ubiquitous" to the audience. However, Dr. Jost also said that the topic addressed by the title is important: Bringing BPM to the masses. That's also the aim of the ARIS Community, which he also touched during his presentation.
Dr. Jost is part of the IT business for more than 20 years and so he gave the audience a summary of those past years from his point of view. He pointed out that we have seen several hypes like CIM in the late 80th, ERP in the 90th, E-Business at the beginning of 2000th and nowadays Cloud Computing. From his point of view, all those hypes share a common goal: Making enterprises more efficient by optimising and standardising their business processes. In his view, this is also the reason, why ARIS is a success since more than 20 years, because business process management is its core.
Dr. Jost also presented current ARIS innovations, which we are currently releasing like ARIS Express, ARIS MashZone, ARIS Governance Engine, and of course ARIS Community.
While looking at the participants I had the feeling the audience enjoyed his presentation, because he was reflecting on what happened during the last 20 years. It will be interesting to discuss with the participants here at ARIS ProcessWorld if they share Dr. Jost's view. Maybe you have been attending the keynote and can give your impression of the presentation? Just log in and leave a comment!
Hi,
I tried very hard to understand why IDS Scheer does not make the presentations and recordings of important events like above available to consultants by uploading them to their website after teh events are over. I got in touch with a gentle man from IDS Scheer about getting hold of some of the IDS Scheer Webcast recordings and he says that he can’t give the recordings to me since they are confidential info...come on guys....these are recordings of a public web cast and he is understandable that sometimes people miss them because of other schedules. Now that there is the ARIS Community I think it will be great if you can create groups for webcast and IDS Scheer events and make that valuable content available.
Thanks
Dinesh
Hi Dinesh,
thanks for your feedback. It is indeed a good idea to release at least some of the presentations to the public, too. We already try to do that, for example by blogging about them. And there will be a paper about the keynote given by Prof. Scheer. New episodes of ARIS TV are also almost ready to be released. So as you can see, we are working on that. Anyway, I will discuss it with my colleagues what we can do about it in the future.
Regards,
Sebastian
