Dr. Setrag Khoshafian
Vice President of BPM Technology

This presentation will show how BPM Suites as the core layer of dynamic organizaitons bridges two important trends: business trends – that are attempting to realize business performance efficiencies, with agility, visibility and transparency; and technology trends including SOA/WOA/CEP – that are attempting to realize often elusive technical efficiencies in integration and reuse.

   
09:45-10:00 Morning Refreshments
10:00-11:15  First Roundtable Session
The key objective for these roundtable sessions is to allow attendees to interact with each other and share perspectives and experiences. Moderators will start with a very short introduction of the issues surrounding the topic and then facilitate a discussion focused on possible requirements, solutions, methodologies, best practices, pitfalls, etc. applicable to the topic. They will also encourage attendees to discuss their own views, including their needs, potential solutions, stumbling blocks, etc.
   
11:15-12:00 End-User Case Study: Synopsis of BPM in the Emerging Health Sciences Extended Marketplace
Eli B. Perlman
Cognizant Technology Solutions EAI Practice and Strategic Alliances

Throughout all of Health Sciences, the sheer amount of available data is exploding exponentially, but the ability for a human being to assimilate this into usable knowledge is limited. Health Providers and Payors, as well as manufactures of Pharmaceuticals, Biotechnology, and Medical Devices must all deal with this reality. While this is happening, it is becoming more common to walk into large retailers and retail pharmacies to receive basic lab services to more sophisticated clinical care. In addition, this causes them all to face additional financial challenges that include sinking reimbursements and skyrocketing compliance requirements. Operational challenges include waste, loss, and increasing human error due to the volume and the disjointed nature of the information. And while all this is happening, there are competitive challenges that require continuously lowering costs, ever increasing quality, and easier and more effective self-service offerings. The purpose of this session is to show how the combination of Business Process Management (BPM), Complex Event Processing (CEP), and state-of-the-art informatics tools and best practice techniques can be leveraged to allow the healthcare community to compare and contrast the live data and events in motion with the data and events at rest to be able to efficiently and effectively address these increasing demands both today and well into the future.

   
12:00-14:00 Lunch with OMG, and OMG Plenary Presentations
14:00-14:45 End-User Case Study: Developing a BPM Center of Excellence
Paul Tazbaz, Enterprise Architect, Wells Fargo 

Business Process Management (BPM) continues to gain momentum throughout the enterprise as an effective solution for optimizing the delivery of products and services to the customer. Wells Fargo and the industry overall are now starting to understand how to maximize the insight gained from this level of capability and are in the midst of a paradigm shift in how business solutions are developed and measured in the future. A diverse set of process focused initiatives are currently underway within the bank and as a result, a working group has been established to socialize efforts across lines of business with the goal of knowledge sharing, collaboration and ultimately establishing an enterprise roadmap that incorporates people, process and technology standards. Join us as Paul Tazbaz from Wells Fargo Enterprise Architecture presents a practical guide to developing a BPM Center of Excellence in a de-centralized organization.
