Special Mention
SET Distribuzione S.p.A.,
Italy
nominated by
WebRatio S.r.l, Italy

7. SET Distribuzione, Italy
 Situation
• SET Distribuzione operates in the energy and utilities industry and distributes electricity in the Italian
region of Trentino Alto Adige
• The Authority has required distribution companies to create a portal enabling users to present and
implement the connection of an energy production plant to the distribution network.
 Implementation & Innovation
• The whole connection process was analyzed, optimized and depicted in accordance with BPMN. The
process is now executable in a complex web application, developed and deployed in only 3 months.
• The process is viewable by all users, who - by way of a highlighting system – are also able to see at
exactly what stage the file they are viewing is at.
• Company procedures were shaken up, in an extremely positive sense, since the application uses
automatic protocollation (for incoming and outgoing messages).
 Benefits
• SET has estimated that management costs have been reduced by approximately 300,000 euros a year.
• Despite the new legislation, as well as requiring the procedure to be shifted to the web, also made the
connection process more complex, and therefore more drawn out, it has been calculated that the
average connection time is now 40% quicker than it was before
• The end client is able to complete the network connection procedure over a shorter space of time, thus
giving him an earlier opportunity to start producing energy for resale, which receives the government
incentives provided for.
• The environment reaps gain (which cannot be quantified that easily) from the exponential increase in
7 connections of sustainable energy production plants.

10. New Millennia Group PLC, UK
 Situation
• New Millennia Group PLC operates in the temporary recruitment industry, providing invoice
funding, credit insurance, payroll and administration facilities to recruitment agencies
operating nationwide.
• With a workflow cycle of seven days, it is imperative to complete the tasks within the allotted
time as there is no margin for errors or delays, because the payments of the temporary workers
depend on this.
 Implementation & Innovation
• With the BPM implementation NMG integrated 26 processes and 160 sub processes.
• The impact of this project has been appreciated in each department as employees now have all
the information instantly available with the touch of a button and notifications are sent for tasks
with a deadline.
 Benefits
• 20% Staff reduction across the company, a 70% reduction in consumables and a 65%
reduction in support services for external software systems.
• An overall 70% time reduction in the weekly administration processes has been achieved.
NMG have reduced the time waiting for answers from the supply chain, for example; chasing
unsigned timesheets and missing data which has reduced from weeks to days or even hours.
• Apart from the business rules and audit trails, NMG also benefits a lot from the control points
used in different parts of most of the processes. This allows NMG’s employees to view the
phases or results from any request and procedure.

12. Warner Bros. Home Entertainment
We at Warner Bros. are honored to be recognized by this coveted award. We are very
proud of our Cloud-based BPM initiative driven by Pega technology, as it marked a
significant change for how we innovate. We’ve departed from traditional waterfall
methodology with this project with significant success.
In our business, when you have a finished product, you start losing money when it
sits in a warehouse unsold. The product is finished when it hits the cinemas, so the
biggest risk in the supply chain is piracy, and anything that can reduce the lead time
to get physical disks into shops is critical.
Despite this hugely challenging and complex business, our new system has automated
complex processes and given us far more visibility and agility – which is essential
when you are talking about supporting the supply chain with more than 20 new films
released every year. The business value our project is notable, and we’re confident it
will pave the way for future innovations also. We thank you for this award.

Thank you for the Award!
At Colpensiones we had the opportunity to start a new organization with the task of administering the 60 years

To tackle the challenge we designed a company in its entirety from a process perspective, modeling and
automating all the process, core and non core, with a BPM solution. Today, nine months latter, from the
initiation of the implementation, we have national coverage, 49 cities, more than one thousand employees,
that during the first month of operation gave answers to more than 118 thousand requirements with immediate
response. The BPM technology has allowed all of our employees to operate as if we had been in business for
the last 60 years, and our clientele find response from us without disruption of services.
