Best Practices for Building BPM & SOA Centers of Excellence

This round table will describe the BPM and SOA full-day training courses being held at the BrainStorm event series in 2009 and online. The goal is to train the attendees how to develop the essential elements that are needed to successfully justify, launch and to then evolve a Business Process Management office in your organization and an SOA Center of Excellence. These Centers of Excellence are a shared resource and capability center to function as a resource pool as new business needs arise around BPM and SOA.
