Decision ROI Institute
Given the velocity of businesses today, the ability to make consistently effective decisions is one of the most vital, yet least understood business processes that impacts performance. Under the aegis of the BPM Forum’s DecisionROI Institute and with the collaboration of Cognos, this program focuses on executive decision making — the initiative is exploring the economics and dynamics of good, bad or deferred decision-making and their impact on the performance, outcome and momentum of business.

Software Economics Council™ (SECO)
Software in the enterprise has become the essential, common thread that automates and accelerates modern business processes across operations and geographies including, for example, communications, finance, supply chain management, sales, and customer service. Today’s enterprise systems decision makers – organizations that invest billions of dollars annually in infrastructure and application software development and deployment – are very concerned about enterprise software quality, integration, lifecycle management costs, value and performance issues.

A recent research effort fielded by the BPM Forum called “Software Drain or Business Gain: Assessing Application Value, Relevance and Cost to Your Company” generated some very interesting results that led the BPM Forum, with sponsorship from Aztec Software, to organize the Software Economics Council (SECO). Industry leading Independent software vendors, systems integrators, service providers and large enterprises acknowledge that a fresh look at today’s software issues and economics is absolutely necessary.
