So whereas they do conform to the textual CobIT they do not conform to BPMN (http://www.bpmn.org )and this is a disconnect because it is acknowledged that BPMN is the tool for connecting business with IT and this is after all mainly what a compliance project is about. Also, even after all the effort made to document process it is highly unlikely that any of the work could be reused in for example, delivering the flowchart to a technical representation like BPEL. - Jeremy Wilde Wed, 21 May 2008 03:32:40 +0100
