This week we concluded our successful 2nd Annual Business Process Management and Technology Innovation Forum and Expo. BPM continues to be a hot topic for the financial services industry, and its definitely an area where transformation continues to occur. Like last year’s event, we heard many speakers and industry practitioners lament about increasing regulatory and compliance burdens and how it was impacting their BPM initiatives.
One of the new topics this year was a focus on using social media in BPM. The jury is still out, but there is an uptick in interest in how Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIN and other social media tools can enable the collaboration that’s inherent in BPM. We’ll be posting links to videos of the sessions in the coming weeks.
Our next event is the 7th Annual Asset Management Industry Transformation & Outsourcing Strategies Forum on December 8th in New York. We always welcome your input on topics so please let us know what you are concerned about. Of course, the topic of regulations will pop up throughout the one-day event, but our members have also expressed concern about the use of mobile technologies and how to decide whether to implement a best-of-breed or integrated asset management solution and we’ve added some great sessions on these topics.
As a community of financial services professionals, our goal is to provide our members with timely information. One of the best ways for us to achieve that goal is to hear from you, whether it be to suggest topics for events or research reports or to pose a question to our members. Your input strengthens our community.
