Taking a BPMS Test Drive
Last week, I tried out the Ultimus Test Drive, a guided hands-on session using a process application built with the Ultimus BPMS. The process itself was fairly simple – a purchase request process – since this test drive is targeted at end users, not analysts or developers, and intended to give the user a hands-on [...]
The Rules For Process
I’ve been pretty busy here at the Building Business Capability conference the past two days with little time for blogging, and with two presentations to do today, I don’t have much time, but wanted to attend Roger Burlton’s “The Rules For Process” keynote, which he refers to as his business process manifesto. After some terms [...]
Research in People and Processes
The afternoon session of research papers focused on people and processes. From People to Services to UI: Distributed Orchestration of User Interfaces The first paper, from University of Trento and Huawei Technologies, focused on a model for distributed user interfaces, bringing together people, web services and UIs in a single tool, rather than developing process [...]
Research in Business Process Design
The research sessions have started here at BPM 2010, and I’m in the session of research papers on business process design. There are three 30-minute presentations (including Q&A) based on the presenter’s research paper; although I have the full text of the research papers, it’s always useful to hear the author’s take on it. I [...]
TIBCO ActiveMatrix BPM In Depth
Back in May at TIBCO’s TUCON conference, I had a chance for a briefing on their new ActiveMatrix BPM, although not a full demo. Since then, however, I’ve had about three hours of demo sessions with Roger King to see more of what they’re doing with ActiveMatrix (which I will refer to as AMX) BPM [...]
Speaking at Business Process Forum in October
A bit early for this, but maybe you’re already starting to organize your fall calendar. The business process track that was at the Business Rules Forum last year has grown, and become its own Business Process Forum. I believe that we need a good independent BPM conference – the ones run by the large analysts [...]
BPM Summer Camp: Business Users and BPMN
I presented today on the second part of Active Endpoints’ BPM Summer Camp, discussing just how much BPMN your business users and analysts need to know. Michael Rowley, CTO of Active Endpoints, gave a demo of BPMN using their system, including illustrating a number of the concepts that I introduced in my presentation.

Pegasystems SmartBPM V6
I’m wrapping up my coverage of this month’s round of four back-to-back conferences with the product reviews, which typically come from multiple meetings before, during and after a vendor conference, as well as some time spent pondering my notes and screen snapshots.
I had a remote product demo of SmartBPM prior to PegaWORLD, then a briefing [...]
