Due to community demand the PEX Network have created a unique event that has a core focus on Process Mapping and Modeling allowing you to gain insight from world leading organizations.

You will gain the opportunity to learn from your peers how specific Process Mapping and Modeling techniques have improved business and operational efficiency.

Process Mapping and Modeling Open House will bring together four hand picked case studies that will show what the project objectives were, how they were achieved and the results produced.

Forget sitting through lengthy sales pitches that you aren’t sure will be of value and sending out RFPs in the hope that you’ll get something back that truly addresses your specific concerns, and instead absorb real life cases studies from the clients of our chosen vendors before you get a short 10 minute product insight from them.

You will get:

  • A better understanding of what process mapping and modeling solutions can do for you
  • A first hand look at how they look and work
  • The opportunity to ask questions in an open forum
