  1. Organisations do not have the models of their current state and either the principles, or requirements of their future state to have any form of guidance that is necessary to flexibly evolve and optimise their people, processes, financial resources and organisation to achieve effective business improvements

    Process Master Software extracts a person’s knowledge, turns it into a process model, and publishes it to allow colleagues to collaborate and educate each other, making their companies more efficient and more reactive.

  2. The OLE Project will be experimenting with Eclipse, an open source software tool for Business Process Modeling.
