I found the article quite intreaguing.  Today companies are held more accountable than ever for old records and information that must be recorded and kept for a specific span of time.  The Sarbanes-Oxley requirements make running a business that much more difficult.  Audits are an ever-present thickness in the air for most businesses and using the Business Process Modeling Notation, it brings together best practices from the modeling industry to offer organizations an easier way to develop business process models.

The article stated that the BPMN is the industry standard, but my question is, what was the standard before the BPMN?
