Online BPM Encyclopedia "Q-BPM.org," which aims to support companies' BPM activities (*), was officially opened on January 14th, 2009.

"Q-BPM.org" is designed to help you understand BPM by means of detailed descriptions, figures, and references regarding BPM-related terms. As of now, there are 60 articles published to explain relevant terms.

We are going to successively translate 100 articles that are already published in Japanese "Q-BPM.org" and publish them. In addition, we also plan to provide sample business processes created based on BPMN, which is the global standard.
