Participating in BPM SUMMIT has been a very enriching experience in my professional career. From the beginning to the end, it exceeded all my expectations, also opening the spectrum regarding the vision of BPM as a process strategy to look at the business from a perspective of evolution and organizational transcendence. A positive impact generated in me, the view of robotics in the behavioral monitoring and follow-up of the process. Really, applause about it with respect and admiration. Finally, the suite for the development of BPMN and BPMS allowed to broaden my horizons, limited until the moment that I participated in the event. I was really in a sub-world that belongs to a great Universe. Thank you very much for letting us find out.
