I am very excited to post a replay of an exceptionally well-received webinar we first presented on June 3, 2009. In this webinar, noted analyst, blogger and consultant Sandy Kemsley joins us to present IT-Business Collaboration on BPM.

Sandy’s riveting presentation gets to the very core of a heated, on-going debate about business process management (BPM): Can business end users actually develop and deploy complex, integrated business processes using today’s business process management systems (BPMSs)? Will they? Even, should they?

You will hear Sandy discuss the “four myths of BPM,” namely:

• Myth #1: Users will use a BPMS to create executable process models
• Myth #2: Business users and analysts can create executable process models
• Myth #3 (My favorite!): Business users want to create executable business process models
• Myth #4: IT wants business end users to use a BPMS to create executable process models

I think you will find Sandy’s detailed discussion of these issues fascinating. And, after Sandy’s talk you can see how the ActiveVOS BPMS fits how things should be: a world in which development teams composed of IT and business analysts collaborate to create integrated, end-to-end, deployable process models.

Because of the very positive feedback we received from the attendees who attended the live webinar, I am posting multiple versions of the recording to ensure that you have the opportunity to watch it. In addition to the usual iPod-formatted .m4v file (140MB), this post also contains a 437MB DivX-encoded .avi file and a 94MB Windows Media 9-encoded .wmv file. Finally, for our bandwidth-challenged readers, I have also posted a PDF of Sandy’s PowerPoint slides. I strongly recommend that you download one of the recordings so you can fully appreciate the wisdom of Sandy’s presentation.

We welcome your feedback. If you’d like to discuss this topic on Twitter, please use the “#activevos” search term…we’ll join you in the discussion there. You can also follow us on Twitter here.
