The Butler Group BPM and SOA Symposium held on November 26th-27th at the London Heathrow Marriott Hotel, focuses on the real-world practicalities of implementing a Business Process Management (BPM) and Service Orientated Architecture (SOA) strategy. Cordys, a global leader in next generation Business Process Management (BPM) is a gold sponsor and Jon Pyke, Chief Strategy Officer for Cordys will introduce a case study keynote outlining the business benefits achieved by building agility into business processes.

Presenting the case study will be Mr. Srinivasan Iyengar, Director, IT and Change Management of AEGON Religare Life Insurance, who will highlight how the company has achieved business benefits such as faster time to market, increased operational efficiency and business agility from implementing Cordys next generation BPM platform.

"Organisations must be operationally efficient and agile to thrive in this environment and BPM is a key technology that can help businesses achieve this. In combination with SOA it helps businesses become more flexible -able to adapt business strategy and processes on the fly and implement the changes immediately, without the need to rip and replace existing systems," says Jon Pyke, Chief Strategy Officer of Cordys.

"It is no longer just what you do that counts, it is how you do what you do - and how quickly you can respond to new opportunities and challenges that is really important. To lead in today's business environment is to embrace change, so our business processes must be rigorous as well as adaptable - changeable an instant before the transaction occurs. We need the ability to constantly change our business and operational strategies to deliver optimal results. Now more than ever, BPM is essential for any organisation aiming to be continuously successful and excel in their market," says Jon Pyke.

Cordys will also be presenting four separate sessions further exploring the business value of implementing a BPM and SOA strategy:

Achieving True Business Agility and Process Innovation with Next Generation BPM - the Business Operations Platform

Consistently Delivering Value to the Business by Putting the "Business" into BPM

Re-usable Business Services - Key to Business and IT Collaboration
