I’ve spoken with a lot of cloud-based BPM vendors over the past few years, and I inevitably ask where their services are hosted. Since almost all of these are American companies, or are primarily targeting the American market, the answer is, almost inevitably, in the United States. I continue to point out that [...]

I’m at the Software 2010 conference held by the Norwegian Computing Society in Oslo this week, and gave the opening keynote on one of the tracks this morning: how Business Process Management is being impacted by social software and social networking:

BPM acquisitions must be in the air: today, Progress Software announced that they’ve bought Savvion for $49M. This is hot on the heels of IBM’s announcement last month that they’re buying Lombardi, with one huge difference being that Progress doesn’t already have a BPM product in their lineup, whereas IBM has two. Of the three [...]

In the Fujitsu briefing last week, I also heard about their cloud BPM offering. Interstage BPM has supported multitenancy for some time, allowing them to provide private BPM cloud infrastructure, most commonly used by business process outsourcing firms.

I had a briefing this week on Fujitsu’s just-released Interstage BPM version 11 as well as an update on their cloud platform. I’ll cover the cloud platform in another blog post, since this one is getting a bit long.
Version 11 has a lot of new features for handling ad hoc, collaborative, knowledge-intensive work; this isn’t [...]

I facilitated a breakfast session this morning discussing BPM in the cloud, which was a lot of fun, and now I’m in the keynote listening to James Taylor on the role of decision management in agile, smarter systems. Much of this is based on his book, Smart (Enough) Systems, which I reviewed shortly after its [...]

The title of Jim Sinur’s breakfast session this morning is based on the “lack of respect” that rules have as a key component in business processes: as he pointed out, it’s very difficult to explain to a business executive what business rules do and their value (something to which I can personally attest).
