The document discusses the current state of enterprise business processes and how business-controlled process applications can improve time to value. It notes that most enterprises have IT-driven software projects, manual business procedures, or "end-user computing" apps that are not optimal. Business-controlled process apps created by business users on a platform supported by IT can map processes and tasks better than existing approaches. This allows business users to design applications that harness both IT and business skills for improved time to value over other options.
