Gartner, Inc. today announced today the five winners of the Gartner Business Process Management Excellence Awards. Lincoln Trust Company is proud to be amongst the winners. Lincoln Trust won in the category of “Advancing BPM Competency.” The awards are given to the companies that most clearly demonstrated excellence in their BPM initiatives. The winners were selected by a review team from the Gartner analyst community.

“Lincoln Trust Company has won several awards over the past two years for our Business Process Management Program. We believe this recognition from Gartner shows the high priority that Lincoln Trust puts on process improvement. This is made possible because of our integrated technical architecture and the tight collaboration between the business and technology divisions of the company,” said Robert Beriault, Chairman and CEO of Lincoln Trust Company.

“Business process management continues to grow in popularity because it offers major business performance improvement advantages. Success in the adoption of BPM is heavily dependent on the ability to tackle people, process, and technology issues at the same time,” said Michele Cantara, research vice president at Gartner and BPM Summit conference chair.

The award will be presented at the Gartner BPM Summit taking place April 27-29 at the Baltimore Marriott Waterfront in Baltimore, Maryland.
