SAP acquiring @Signavio into Business Process Intelligence unit

SAP acquiring @Signavio into Business Process Intelligence unit

By Sandy Kemsley on January 28, 2021

I first met Signavio CEO Gero Decker in 2008, when he was a researcher at Hasso Platner Institut and emailed me about promoting their BPMN poster — a push to have BPMN (then version 1.1) recognized as a standard for process modeling. I attended the academic BPM conference in Milan that year but Gero wasn’t […]

The ability to connect everything using the Internet opened up new business / economic models, new ways of working, new ways to […]

Weekend Process: Conference Tea and Coffee Service

Weekend Process: Conference Tea and Coffee Service

By Sandy Kemsley on October 14, 2012

My blogging has been pretty sparse lately, really just conference blogging, although I have a lot of good posts about products and ideas that are half-finished. I also like to occasionally post about some process that I experience that’s either really good or really bad, and will try to get to those on a weekend […]

Beyond The Three V’s of Big Data – Viscosity and Virality

By R "Ray" Wang on February 28, 2012

Revisiting the Three V’s of Big Data It’s time to revisit that original post from July 4th, 2011 post on the the Three V’s of big data.  Here’s the recap: Traditionally, big data describes data that’s too large for existing systems to process.  Over the past three years, experts and gurus in the space have […]

By Michael Fauscette on October 26, 2011

I titled the post “Innovation Management”, but I intend to focus as much on the activity as on the underlying system.

Accounts Payable, The Role of Process, The CustomerNever Think Bloodless

By Paul Greenberg on March 7, 2011
