Review:

"The book covers a large number of embedded computing topics and therefore can be recommended to any reader interested in getting initial information about this area." --Computing Reviews

"...a practical reference for managers and practitioners interested in BPM or already involved in business process initiatives in large to medium organizations...Readers will profit extensively from the best practices and examples presented." --Computing Reviews

"... this was a good read and should be something that anyone practicing BPM puts into their library and consults often. There is good balance throughout the book. This balance includes a lot of BPM and an appropriate dose of BPMS." --Smarter Process: Thoughts from the CTO, January 5, 2015
