for Excellence in BPM & Workflow Global Awards
August 25, 2006 – Lighthouse Point, Florida. The Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) and the Workflow And Reengineering International Association (WARIA) are pleased to announce the finalists for the 2006 Global Excellence Awards for innovation and excellence in Business Process Management (BPM) and workflow implementations. These prestigious awards are used to recognize organizations that have demonstrably excelled in implementing innovative solutions to meet strategic business objectives.
“The array of finalists demonstrates the broad applicability of workflow and BPM technology – furthermore we see that there is still a significant amount of innovation occurring in the people-to-people deployments showing clearly that this type of solution is what the customers are looking for,” said Jon Pyke, WfMC Chair. “Workflow continues to be used to tie diverse systems together ensuring that information is delivered to the right place at the right time every time.”
Lead judge and BPM Industry Analyst Derek Miers commented on the strength of the entries, especially those from Asia and Europe. “With a wide range of industries represented, the critical importance of driving performance improvement through more effective management of the firm‘s business processes was plain to see. The case studies presented provide some compelling reading, and clearly demonstrate the growing recognition of business processes as core business assets.”
