Happenings at ProcessWorld 2010

ProcessWorld 2010 merges two formerly separate events—Software AG's Innovation World and IDS Scheer's ProcessWorld—into one signature event that demonstrates proven success strategies for optimizing processes across the enterprise. It’s an opportunity for customers to collaborate with their peers to solve process questions. The event presents keynote addresses by:

• David Kline, Chief Information Officer for Discovery Communications, Inc. His presentation, “Efficient Innovation – How Discovery Meets the Demands of their Internal & External Customers,” highlights the challenges and opportunities he faces as CIO of the world’s number one non-fiction media company. A webMethods user, Discovery Communications won Software AG’s Customer Innovation Award in the area of Customer Service for their Air Master project which promotes visibility, accessibility and reuse of digitized content for employees across the globe.
• Jim Adamczyk, Executive Director–Technology for Accenture Software. His presentation, “Value Creation through Real Time Process Management,” focuses on how high-performing companies are moving beyond merely process design and automation to focus on mastery throughout the product lifecycle.
• Software AG CEO Karl-Heinz Streibich discusses “The Transformation to Business Process Excellence,” detailing how Software AG and IDS Scheer have joined forces to become the world leader in BPE and power organizations to face future economic challenges through three key pillars: 1) driving new growth through globalization, 2) building new image and brands through innovation, and 3) delivering new levels of agility, flexibility and profitability through process excellence.
• Dr. Wolfram Jost who leads the entire Product Management and Marketing portfolio at Software AG, shares the “Software AG Product Roadmap and Vision,” and how merging Software AG’s webMethods suite with IDS Scheer’s ARIS product creates a unique platform for BPE.

Participants will also hear in-depth case studies from customers such as:

• Bank of America – implemented ARIS as an enterprise tool supporting Business Process Management (BPM) and Enterprise Change Management capabilities. With ARIS, Bank of America has made all content available in a single company database with versioning controlled by Release Cycle Management, providing greater control and consistency and generating significant efficiency gains.
• Coca-Cola Enterprises – deployed the webMethods product suite to automate inefficient, manual processes associated with stocking and displaying its beverage products across North America. The web-based solution has delivered real-time visibility into the supply chain and generates significant annual savings for them.
• Cox Communications – implemented webMethods Business Activity Monitoring and Enterprise Service Bus solutions to create a system for identifying network outages and determining the specific network devices causing a problem. The project is expected to generate a return on investment of millions of dollars.

In addition to the 40 track sessions featuring customers from major industries across the globe; content on EAI, B2B, SOA and BPM; and a Solutions Hall of new, live product demonstrations, participants will network and celebrate with food and entertainment at the Customer Event held high atop the Gaylord National Hotel at Pose, touted as Washington, D.C.’s only ultra lounge featuring phenomenal views of the nation’s capital.
