The run-up to the year end is the ideal time to take stock and define strategic goals for the year to come. 2007 has been a fruitful year for W4, with key events that demonstrated yet again our determination to continue our growth, to expand internationally, and to offer our clients and partners the best product and the best quality of service. Thus we opened an office in Madrid, and forged new alliances (for instance with TIS in Croatia, Document Project Services, and the Group 3S Informatique) that bring us closer to our clients. We also helped many businesses (including BPN Paribas in Luxembourg, the Ministry of Public Administration, Spain, Structis from the Bouygues Construction Group, Capital Bank in Nigeria and Egyptian Liquefied Natural Gas) to deliver innovation in their process-management projects.

We predict that 2008 will be a year of change for BPM. In particular, its technologies will impact more on daily life, with a focus on problems such as transparency between the different services, the interaction between agents outside and within the business, the impact on the environment and quality of life, and the balance between costs and economic performance. Hence our focus in this edition, which gives you an overview of BPM’s benefits. Because it stresses human interaction and its impact on the business activity, a BPM system can contribute not just to the development of integrated information systems, but also to the way a business operates at all levels.

Innovate to develop, while leveraging existing resources and providing a flexible and long-term solution to boost your activity!

All of us at W4 wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2008.
We look forward to working with you next year.
