The BPE Roundtrip Experience
Note: Private, onsite only Description: Experience how a real closed-loop process life cycle is supported by a methodology on one platform of Software AG products. The ultimate way enabling Business Process Excellence (BPE). A work-shop to hear, see and experience how the different products of Software AG can support you in an integrated context to achieve your goal of BPE. You will learn what BPM is all about, and how the different components of ARIS and webMethods can support this in a phased and integrated manner. You will experience that you can start small and easily, ending into an integrated BPM platform after months all depending on your own ambition and needs. The power of this workshop lies in its holistic approach, simplicity and broad target audience. These ingredients make the workshop of added value to your organization at all levels. Target groups: The BPE Roundtrip Experience is designed for everyone who is interested or engaged in process improvement, risk & compliance management, and/or IT implementations; ranging from senior or middle management, architects, team leads and quality managers to project managers, process consultants, business analysts and IT managers. Topics: Ideal as kick-off for Process Management programs and BPE Roadmap Assessments. You have streamlined your organization and processes to the best of your knowledge. You have reduced costs wherever you can. But somehow your organization is still fragmented and not integrated. There is a lot happening around business process management and continuous improvement. Have you ever wondered what these topics are really about, and how this can affect your organization? The BPE Roundtrip Experience workshop will show you the easiness and simplicity of experiencing process improvement along the cycle. The Goal: To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often. Winston Churchill (1874 - 1965) Knowing your business processes these days is not good enough. To compete in a changing world, with continuously changing rules and regulation, you need a framework which can support you in design, implement, monitor/ measure/ control, and redesign of your business processes and supporting IT applications. The ability to improve continuously and to adapt to the changing environment in a fast way is a must for every organization. During this workshop we will look in detail to these two aspects of change, and we will show you how the different software products/ components of Software AG can support you in building a BPE framework (or just a part of it). The workshop is particularly suited to create management awareness, and to jumpstart a BPE initiative. The workshop has several learning objectives: Find out what the different components of ARIS and webMethods are, and how they can support you in building your own BPM platform Experience how easy you can set up the different software components of Software AG Understand what is required to deliver continuous improvement, and change management Business Process Excellence: In this workshop we will use the term BPE often. BPE is the ultimate goal of Business Process Management (BPM). BPM is a holistic management approach to align all aspects in the organization with the wants and needs of its customers. It promotes business effectiveness and efciency while striving for innovation, exibility, and integration with technology. BPM attempts to improve processes continuously. It can therefore be described as a process optimization process. BPM enables organizations to be more efcient, more effective and more capable of change than a functionally focused, traditional hierarchical management approach. BPM, according to Software AG, follows different phases; Strategize, Design, Implement, Compose, Execute, and Monitor & Control. Prerequisites: None Duration: 2 days Content: Life cycle of ARIS and webMethods, all main solutions and products of the life cycle are covered.
