The 2009 BPM and Workflow Handbook from the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC) continues tradition as the only international definitive guide on the business of workflow and business process management.
In 2009 we include a special
spotlight on "BPM in Government,"
illustrating the strategic role of BPM and workflow in
enabling enterprise transformation and mission/IT alignment.
We welcome submissions describing initiatives at federal,
state and local agencies worldwide, covering program areas
such as case management, workforce planning, grants
management, correspondence tracking, or acquisition
management.

The contributing authors (and their organizations) receive worldwide recognition for their respective roles as leaders at the forefront of business process technology, its growth, evolution and implementation.
