Service orientation is also about technology, a standard and effective way of connecting businesses. Enterprises can be empowered to live up to the potential of becoming dynamic, agile, and real-time.

BPM is known to yield considerable ROI in the majority of projects. Where do the benefits and the returns on investment stem from?
