Add bookmark

"BPM provides a place where business people can take control of their processes," says Alan Trefler, CEO and founder of BPM Software vendor Pegasystems. Trefler should know, as he founded his company in 1983 - before BPM was ever uttered as an acronym.

In this PEX Network interview, part of our Boardroom Perspectives series, Trefler discusses the evolution of the BPM industry, his thoughts on where the industry is going next and ovecorming the trouble with legacy systems. He also explains how his background in tournament chess inspired his interest in computers.

Pegasystems will be among the BPM Software Vendors presenting case studies and product demonstrations at our upcoming online BPM Open House. It's one week of insightful presentations into what BPM Software can do for you and a chance for you to hear what results companies like Lockheed Martin, Jabil Circuits, Bank of Tenessee and more have achieved through BPM Software.
