			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week <em><a href="http://www.aiim.org/Infonomics/About-Infonomics-Magazine.aspx" target="_blank">Infonomics</a></em>, <a href="http://www.aiim.org/" target="_blank">AIIM</a>’s weekly newsletter, featured <a href="http://www.aiim.org/resourcecenter/podcast/USAF-sixsigma-bpm.aspx" target="_blank">a podcast </a>with <a href="http://www.becauseprocessmatters.com/planes-planning-process-improvement/" target="_blank">recent guest blogger Brian Chaney</a>, the Director of IT Strategy and Architecture for Copper River IT.</p>
<p>The podcast, “The USAF, Six Sigma, and BPM,” discusses how the US Air Force utilized <a href="http://www.metastorm.com/products/provision_ea.asp" target="_blank">Metastorm ProVision</a>® and <a href="http://www.metastorm.com/products/business_process_management.asp" target="_blank">Metastorm BPM</a>® to achieve a 200% increase in automation to gain more efficiency, productivity, and control.</p>
<p><span id="more-1553"></span></p>
<p>According to Chaney, the project began when the Department of Defense (DoD) mandated that, in order for DoD organizations to continue receiving funding, their IT investments had to include an Enterprise Architecture (EA) tool.</p>
<p>As part of its new EA initiative, the US Air Force wanted to identify how its IT infrastructure was supporting its business processes, and how well the processes were performing in the supported environments. To meet the goals of an existing initiative, <a href="http://www.acc.af.mil/afso21.asp" target="_blank">Air Force Smart Operations for the 21st Century</a> (AFSO21), which aims to streamline processes and optimize resource consumption – the US Air Force also wanted to “<a href="http://www.metastorm.com/solutions/horizontal/lean-solutions.asp" target="_blank">Lean out</a>” its business processes to do more with less.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.aiim.org/resourcecenter/podcast/USAF-sixsigma-bpm.aspx" target="_blank">Listen to this podcast</a> and <a href="http://www.metastorm.com/library/success_stories/US_AirForce_Success_Story2.pdf" target="_blank">read this customer success story</a> to learn how the team used Metastorm ProVision to see and analyze its processes, and to identify time wasters and other areas of inefficiency, how it subsequently used Metastorm BPM to execute the Leaner, more agile processes across the entire enterprise, and how it utilized the power of the <a href="http://www.metastorm.com/products/overview_index.asp" target="_blank">Metastorm Enterprise</a> software suite to realize greater efficiency, and meet the goals of AFSO21.</p>
