Wolfgang Hilpert

As Senior Vice President Business Process & Event Management, Wolfgang Hilpert leads the team that is currently building the next generation business process management (BPM) capabilities for SAP Netweaver, codenamed "Galaxy". As part of NetWeaver’s Composition Environment, Galaxy will allow SAP customers to build process-centric composite applications that combine human interaction and system integration in a single model and platform. Galaxy will also provide integration with the business rules capability that came with SAP’s acquisition of YASU Technologies in October, 2007, an acquisition effort led by Wolfgang.
 
Before joining the Netweaver senior management team, Wolfgang was a lead program manager on the Microsoft BizTalk Server team in Redmond, Washington. Previously, Wolfgang served as CTO and member of the executive board at Nemetschek AG, a publicly traded ISV in Munich, Germany.
 
Prior to his tenure at Nametschek, Wolfgang was Product Line Director at Lotus Software within the IBM Software Group. At Lotus, Wolfgang led the development teams for Lotus Workflow and Lotus Domino.Doc, Lotus’s workflow and document management solutions. Wolfgang had joined Lotus/IBM as the result of the acquisition of ONEstone Information Technologies, a company he cofounded in 1995 in Paderborn, Germany. As CTO of ONEstone, Wolfgang led the development team that created ONEstone’s award wining workflow product “proZessware” that received two Lotus Beacon Awards for Best Application Development Tool in 1997 and was later rebranded as Lotus Workflow.
