- Customer cases and keynotes about ‘Accelerating Time to Value’ –

Cordys, the leading provider of software for business process improvement, will be hosting its annual Business Process Management and Cloud Computing conference – Cordial 2010 - in the Netherlands from 14 - 15 September 2010. The agenda includes keynotes by Manfred Kets de Vries, professor at INSEAD and expert on leadership and organisational behaviour, Stefan Ried, Senior Analyst at Forrester and expert on Cloud Computing and Derek Miers, Principle Analyst at Forrester and expert on Business Process Management.

Now in its 7th year, Cordial 2010 is an exclusive forum for leading business and IT professionals from around the globe.  This year’s conference will provide access to educational opportunities that will show how organizations can accelerate time to value by reducing IT complexity and focus on serving business initiatives through next generation Business Process Management and Cloud Computing.

Jan Baan, Founder and CEO of Cordys said: “In spite of huge investments in enterprise software over the past two decades, many organisations remain pretty inflexible and, therefore uncompetitive because they are not able to change their business processes fast enough to either meet or drive market conditions. Inflexible business processes put the brakes on intellectual capital. The unique combination of BPM and new Cloud Computing technologies allows companies to embrace change and be able to accelerate time to value, take advantage of infrastructure elasticity and reduce operational expense”

Agenda highlights include: -
• Opening keynote with Cordys CEO and Chairman, Jan Baan
• Detailed customer case studies by leading organizations from around the globe
• Keynotes from leading management school professor Manfred Kets de Vries, industry analysts, customers and strategic partners of Cordys
• Keynotes by Cordys executives Per Jonsson (President & COO) and Theodoor van Donge (CTO)

During the two-day conference there will be a number of visionary keynotes, informative presentations, hands-on demonstrations and partner exhibits. In addition, Cordys will highlight the go to market strategy, showcase the latest technology updates and industry solutions for various verticals. The conference will be hosted by Cordys in the beautiful and relaxing surroundings of the 17th century castle 'De Vanenburg' in Putten, The Netherlands.
