Democratizing BPM   Seeing and understanding important business and IT information is a critical challenge. Meeting this challenge can be achieved with diagramming tools that help you organize and simplify business process complexity. Whether you’re capturing existing business processes or analyzing your supply chain, you need to leverage tools that make it easier for business and IT users to map processes and share business insight across your organization. By using standardized notations you can help all process participants build diagrams that conform to standards and make complex business process information easier to understand. But, getting the entire picture requires a clear and complete view of your business processes at both a high-level perspective as well as a more detailed look into you data. We interview Chris Crane to gain Microsoft's perspective on BPM. Chris is the director of Visio Product Management at Microsoft.  39 Minutes Social Logic   DM can deliver ROI but its adoption is limited by a steep learning curve. Business rules requirements need to be specific, clear and actionable. By doing so, business rules implementations converge quickly to high quality and accurate business rules, significantly reducing uncertainty and project risk. DM technologies provide agility; but you can make DM more Performance-Driven by leveraging business data and analytics in context at authoring time. A wealth of tacit knowledge resides in the heads of Customer Service personnel. The key to gaining a competitive advantage is capturing that tacit knowledge out of the collective. That tacit knowledge can then support Case Workers making manual decisions, providing insights on the impact of those decisions in real-time. We interview Carole-Ann Matignon to gain Sparkling Logic's perspective on social logic. Carole-Ann is CEO and Founder of Sparkling Logic. 44 Minutes Gain Visibility & Control with EPM   Project and portfolio management helps organizations improve visibility and control across varied portfolios. Effective PPM solutions need to provide organizations of different sizes and maturity levels with the right tools to ensure that teams can successfully collaborate to deliver projects on time and realize their anticipated return on investment (ROI). Even departments within a large organization might have divergent PPM requirements. To stay competitive, select an EPM solution which provides executives, portfolio analysts, managers, and team members with productivity tools to effectively manage all work throughout its life cycle, and to ensure alignment with an organization’s business strategy. We interview Arpan Shah to gain Microsoft's perspective on Enterprise Project Management. Arpan is the Director of Product Management for Microsoft Project.  23 Minutes Business Rules Management   Making consistent decisions across your organization is a complex task. Usually for any one decision, multiple data elements must be evaluated. In addition, decision making must respond to constantly changing conditions—external factors such as economic changes, competition, or regulations, as well as internally driven changes such as new product launches or new strategies. Without a sophisticated system for managing rules, it’s highly improbable for an organization to make decisions that avoid losses or drive maximum revenue. When selecting a BRMS look for technologies that help IT and business experts work together to develop intelligible, effective rules; and to quickly deploy new process applications with immediate support from the rules system. We interview Don Griest to gain FICO's perspective on BRMS. Don Griest is Sr. Director, Product Management with FICO. 43 Minutes In – Database Analytics   Smart enterprises are driving risk management, fraud detection, business process management and investment strategies, as well as competitive product, marketing and customer relationship strategies with In –Database Business Analytics. In –Database Business Analytics removes application barriers to perform critical drill-downs that were previously impossible or impractical using outside the database approaches. In traditional approaches, end-users must transport data out of the database for processing. This activity often accounts for up to 75 percent of the cycle time and imposes severe constraints on throughput and timely delivery of results. We interview Joydeep Das to gain Sybase's perspective on In –Database Business Analytics. Joydeep is a Senior Product Manager with Sybase. 44 Minutes Seapine ALM 2012   Quality-centric application lifecycle management (ALM) solutions enable you to deliver quality software products faster and within budget. Tightly-integrated ALM tools help streamline communication, improve traceability, achieve compliance, and deliver quality. Top solutions in this space enable you to automate stress and boundary tests without virtual machines. So, to gain a competitive edge, leverage a solution that offers calculated fields which allow you to analyze workflow using custom metrics, and implement risk management and issue triage strategies using your own scoring formulas.  We interview Jeff Amfahr to gain Seapine Software's perspective on What's New in Seapine ALM 2012. Jeff is a Director of Product Management at Seapine Software. 24 Minutes  Business Process Mobilization   We have only just scratched the surface of the productivity gains that are likely to grow from the development of mobile technology. Furthermore, the paradigm is shifting from portable voice transmission and email delivery to a complete pocket office and control center that can replicate every function available at company headquarters. Companies that embrace the new technology will enhance their existing IT investments, increase their workforce productivity and put themselves at the forefront of the new business mobility that can help companies manage their business more effectively and more profitably. Moreover, you can now leverage a new level of access to information and management control of processes and operations than has previously been thought possible. We interview Bryan Whitmarsh to gain Sybase's perspective on business process mobilization. Bryan is a senior product manager with Sybase. 26 Minutes Requirements Traceability   You know you need traceability in your product development process to ensure quality and manage the impact of change. You may even think you’re pretty good at it. But how strong is your traceability? Strong enough to guarantee quality in every product, every time? Strong enough to help you eliminate wasted time and dollars? Strong enough to pass a compliance audit? You may think so, but if your company or department exhibits certain symptoms your traceability may not be as strong as you think. Achieving traceability within a product development lifecycle helps ensure that changes are shared across teams, in order to maintain quality and compliance. Traceability is especially critical for achieving compliance with ever-stricter government agencies. We interview Peter Varhol to gain Seapine Software's perspective on requirements traceability. Peter is a Solutions Evangelist with Seapine Software. 46 Minutes Better Decision Management   One of the biggest challenges facing businesses is to make sure they can manage decisions with greater precision, agility, speed and consistency, all while driving down costs. To meet the challenge, Decision Management Platforms tightly integrate their capabilities with a company’s existing IT architecture. Moreover, DM builds on your modern IT architecture and allows you to manage decisions as a true corporate asset. Managing decisions as assets empowers business users, accelerates the time to value for business changes and helps build a new partnership between the business and IT. Furthermore, when it comes to making decisions in the face of uncertainty, it is critical to leverage analytics for more effective risk management. We interview Carole Ann Matignon to gain FICO's perspective on decision management. Carole Ann is VP Product Management at FICO. 43 Minutes
