Are you a business analyst? Ever wondered how your salary compares with others in your field? How much difference does education, certifications or (gasp) even gender factor into your compensation?
Find out by taking part in our second annual Salary Survey, co-sponsored with IIBA and ASPE. The survey takes just a few minutes and is open for one month only. Click here to take part.
By participating, you’ll have access to the results, which we’ll share with you in a live webinar in October.
We welcome participation from business analysts worldwide, so we encourage you to share the link with all your colleagues, regardless of location.
We know. You had the best intentions. But you didn’t quite make it to our Webinar – and you missed out on our live demonstration of RAVEN Cloud.
You can still try out RAVEN Cloud for yourself, any time, day or night – at least through the summer. And if you want to eliminate the hassle of drawing process diagrams from scratch, we still recommend viewing our Webinar. You can access it at your leisure here.
Many thanks to all of you who have tried RAVEN Cloud and helped us reach this incredible milestone in a mere eight weeks. The free beta will remain open through the summer, so be sure to try it – and spread the word. We continue to enhance RAVEN Cloud, based on your feedback, so please be sure to try it any time you need a process diagram in a hurry.
To learn more about this milestone, you can read the press release here.
Thanks to all of you for attending today’s webinar.
Please reply to this blog post to submit any other questions or comments you may have.

Sorry for being radio silent for so long, but (enter excuse of choice here).
I’m back online, and promise to be blogging more regularly given all the great things happening with RAVEN Cloud.
I’m doing the first of two webinars on RAVEN Cloud later this morning, followed by another one in late August that will feature generation of Visio diagrams from the cloud! Very nice…
It’s too late for today’s webinar, please go to www.ravenflow.com/events to sign-up for next RAVEN Cloud webinar or any of our other best-practices webinars.
Thanks for your continued use and support of RAVEN Cloud.

Ravenflow today announced a new contest to see who can create business process diagrams the fastest.
“We’re finding that many business analysts struggle to complete error-free process diagrams quickly,” said Susan Boers, President and CEO of Ravenflow. “Our new RAVEN Cloud service improves a tedious and error prone task from taking hours or days to mere minutes. Now all business people can get stunning process flow diagrams without having to become drawing experts because RAVEN does the drawing for them. We are hopeful that the contest will help teach analysts a new fun way to perform their everyday tasks and give them additional confidence in producing an excellent work product.”
The contest kicks off for the summer months, and anyone can compete to win the $1000 Grand Prize. The winner will be selected September 15. To enter, users must submit a video of using RAVEN Cloud to document a business process and clock the time they did it in. Simply email videos to quickdraw@ravenflow.com. The Grand Prize winner will be selected on the complexity of the diagram, the time it took to create and draw the process in RAVEN Cloud, as well as creativity. Submissions become the property of Ravenflow. To help analysts get started, a sample submission is available here.
RAVEN Cloud is hosted on the Microsoft Azure cloud computing platform and features a highly attractive, easy-to-use Web application interface based on Microsoft Silverlight. Based upon a patented language engine, RAVEN Cloud is the only natural language application that allows business people to describe their processes in plain English, and then automatically identify gaps and other errors while generating visual diagrams all stakeholders can understand.
The beta is free and available to everyone now.
