Software AG, the global leader in Business Process Excellence, will discuss how enterprises can effectively harmonize their technology & human assets to achieve their strategic goals during ProcessForum Dubai 2011, a convention focusing on Business Process Management (BPM) success to be held on October 25, 2010 at the Habtoor Grand Beach Resort & Spa in Jumeirah Beach, Dubai.

BPM is a holistic management approach that aligns organizations with the wants and needs of their clients. Although BPM immensely benefits industry and commerce in general, it is particularly essential to the efficient performance of transaction-oriented sectors such as banking and financial services, insurance, telecommunications and government. BPM deployments have been steadily rising in the UAE due to the country’s emphasis on technology-enabled business which has made it the second largest enterprise application software market in the GCC region.
