The concept of a BPM Center of Excellence (COE) is not new and the associated benefits are well documented. However, the most challenging issue with a COE is knowing where to start. In order to realize the benefits and find the correct path to ongoing process improvement it is critical to have organizational support and a solid team in place from the inception of the project.

Mary Adams, Sandia’s IT Manager for BPM, Roberta Jaramillo, Sandia’s Project Lead for the BPM Center of Excellence, and Tim Dooley, Savvion’s Director of Professional Service & Center of Excellence, will discuss how to get a BPM Center of Excellence started, addressing how it can decrease costs, increase efficiencies and govern your next steps towards continual process improvement.

This webinar targets companies that have recently adopted BPM as a strategic path to process improvement and companies looking to maximize their existing BPM investment. Attendees of the webinar will discover:

• The roles and responsibilities of a Center of Excellence
• The quantifiable benefits a COE can bring to your organization
• What the critical success factors are when forming a COE
• How to establish a BPM COE from a project perspective
• How to get started with a COE program
