Karen Larkowski, General Manager / Program Director, BPM Consortium
09:15 - 10:00 Keynote - The Critical Need for Improving Process Efficiency in Government
Steve Cooper, Former CIO of DHS
When budgets are shrinking, saving money by maximizing the efficiency of critical operations within an agency or program can make the difference between meeting budgetary demands and cutting services. This presentation will address a number of issues regarding the current state of process improvement in government and why CIOs are turning to BPM technology to help their organizations operate more efficiently, improve customer service, and meet regulatory requirements.

Table # Topic Leader
1-1 CEP for BPM in Federal Applications
Complex (aka Continuous) Event Processing is a relatively new technology that is relevant for situation awareness (e.g. process exceptions, KPIs, BAM), track and trace (e.g. entity management), and sense and respond (e.g. dynamic workflow invocation based on changing circumstances, automated decision management). This round table will explore what, why, where and how CEP might provide (or is providing) value to Federal Government BPM users (and vice versa).

1-2 Greening The Business Process
Can BPM have an important role in a move towards sustainable / green operations? This session will look at the ways that BPM can assist / hinder sustainability and the role that government mandate plays.
Karen Larkowski
General Manager
BPM-C and GCIO
1-3 When Should BPM be Used in Replacing Federal Systems?
Replacement of aging system applications is a main objective in an increasing number of government projects. Three common approaches are: rewrite the application, buy a COTS package, or consider a BPMS implementation. This discussion will examine criteria for choosing an approach. And what criteria should be used when evaluating different BPMSs? Some real-world government projects will be referenced as examples.

1-4 SaaS BPM for Government
BPM technology helps organizations optimize systems and processes in key areas such as citizen service, financial performance, compliance and productivity. Software as a Service (SaaS) presents an extraordinary opportunity to reduce technology costs, improve agency efficiency and meet mandated objectives quickly. This session will:
  • Discuss technology and security concerns of SaaS environments
  • Explore suitable processes for SaaS BPM
  • Discuss the future impact of SaaS BPM in government

SaaS BPM provides a unique opportunity for government agencies and departments to quickly support process improvement initiatives while reducing costs.
