Yes business processes. They are all currently documented in xls/doc per process.
Does bizagi work on SP? its more for viewing than modeling.

Rainer, just checked the product as I was interested. Where can I export it to SharePoint? Or are you talking about the image export functionality?
SharePoint2013, I would still go for Visio Services and convert your document files to Visio. If that is not an option, you can try to use the Office Web Apps to display your document within the web page.

I'll add another vote for Visio Services, with the caveat that you will need to move your xls/doc process maps into Visio first. However, I think that's where you want them anyway. Excel and Word are really not suitable for creating process maps. Yes, you can use them, but Visio is so much better suited for modeling and documenting business processes.
Although this video doesn't use a process map for the demo, it is a good illustration of how Visio and Visio Services/Sharepoint interact. BTW, this video is one in a series of 24 5-7 minute videos about various features of Visio; there are several others that focus more on the flowcharting/process mapping capabilities of Visio, e.g., 19 and 20.

@KoenVosters:
They have a real publish to Sharepoint functionality in regards to creating dynamic HTML and images.
You can see it on this page:
http://www.bizagi.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=102&Itemid=109
and in the video list scroll down to Publish to SharePoint.
For a free product and to just enable the users to view the process, a very handy solution.

I'm looking at bizagi and documenting the process - it seems i need to train the user to use this. BTW, how is this viewed in SharePoint? where is the part that shows:
- how it looks like in SP?
- how to edit the processin SP?
Thanks.

in sp2007.
Hi,
sorty there is no inline SP editing.
But you should be able to store the editable base document in a doc lib.
The publish to Sharepoint generates HTML, javascript and css files and these files are stored in the selected doc lib.
To view you can either link directly to the files or you use page viewer web part.
The published files are somehow interactive as you can click through the process and "zoom" into details.

Not exactly what I need....
I need something in SP to manage processes.

Thanks anyway! :)
what do you mean with "processes"?
If you talk about Business Processes, how are they documented/created?
This one is free and has SharePoint export functionality:
