 Our Approach
 Comparison of some BPM frameworks

 Check the ability to implement the conference requests

form

 Check the ability of integration with the existing LIU UMS

 Check features provided by framework

 Check the ability to apply other tasks

 Similar Existing Frameworks

 Exceptional project and task management features

 Tracking processes

 Reporting
