I’ve been working on a white paper with BEA for the last couple of months, and it’s finally been released for free download.
We dipped into research from the big analyst firms as well as the extensive survey data collected by BEA directly. The result: a comprehensive 36-page white paper covering how and why BPM has taken a position of importance within organizations, the market size and segmentation, and market trends such as SOA and Enterprise 2.0.
This would be a nice read, if BEA could fix their screwed up registration process. BTW – I was already registred, and my email should suffice – but that did not work. Trying to get the password results in a “was not registred” message. Trying to re-register results in form validation errors since I cannot specify the right “state”, even if I did specify country first. I am sick and tired of all the f**up registration processes from US software vendors requiring a state; at most it works half the time for european customers.
It worked okay for me signing in with my email, although maybe they fast-tracked my registration 🙂
I feel your pain, we’ve only just got the Americans recognizing Canadian provinces some of the time, I can’t imagine the problems with European addresses.
Can someone merge BPTrends survey and BEA Survey and come up with some clear, objective and reliable practical conclusions?????…

Great idea, but to do that, you’d really have to have access to the original survey data — it’s hard to repurpose it based only on the analysis and aggregated data.
