BPMI

In June of 2005, the Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI.org) and the Object Management Group™ (OMG™) announced the merger of their Business Process Management (BPM) activities to provide thought leadership and industry standards for this vital and growing industry. The combined group has named itself the Business Modeling & Integration (BMI) Domain Task Force (DTF).

BPMN

The Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a standardized graphical notation for drawing business processes in a workflow. BPMN was developed by Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI), and is now being maintained by the Object Management Group since the two organizations merged in 2005. Its current adopted version is 1.1 and the proposed one is 2.0. Die BPMN wurde 2002 durch Stephen A. White, Mitarbeiter von IBM, erarbeitet und durch die Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI), einer Organisation, die Standards im Bereich Geschäftsprozessmodellierung definiert hatte, veröffentlicht. Diagramme in der BPMN heißen Business Process Diagram (BPD).
