Masterclass interview by Michael Moon with Ismael Ghalimi, CEO, Intalio, industry leader in open source business process management (BPM).

Background

MM: Ismael, let’s start with a little background in terms of you and Intalio.

IG: My name is Ismael Ghalimi. I am the CEO of Intalio, and we are an open source business process management (BPM) software company. We sell a BPM platform that allows larger organizations and governments to automate fairly complex business processes that tend to change fairly often.

We’ve got a strong focus on government as well as financial services, and the telecommunications services industry. Together, they account for about two-thirds of our business.

We’re based in Palo Alto, California. I live there with my wife and our 1-year-old baby girl. In my free time, I’m a private pilot, and organize a little conference in San Francisco called the “Office 2.0″ conference. It’s a gathering of about 600 people that meet every year for two days, and talk about how to do office productivity work in the cloud, using only online applications and storing all the data online. It’s kind of a real-life experiment on using these Office 2.0 technologies.
