For several years, Rashid Khan, founder and former CEO of Ultimus, wrote a BPTrends Column titled BPM: A Global View. Recently, Rashid launched a new start-up company, and we asked him to write about the role of business process in his new venture He agreed and this month he returns to discuss how he is “bootstrapping” his new company with easily accessible process tools that enable the development of a new product and a customer base at a surprisingly reasonable cost. Whether you`re planning your own new enterprise or just dreaming about it, you should read Rashid`s perspective on process and the new enterprise.
