I’m in a webinar (sponsored by Proforma) with BPTrends‘ Paul Harmon discussing their recent survey of business process trends. I expect to meet Paul face-to-face next week at the ABPMP chapter meeting in San Francisco, where he’ll be speaking on “Business Process Today and Tomorrow”. The first part of the webinar is pretty much just … Continue reading “Paul Harmon on BPM state and trends”
This is the foie gras of eating your own dogfood: I registered online for a product demo webinar with Bluespring today, and here’s what I saw after I filled in the form: After a few minutes, I clicked the refresh button; the process status changed to “Temporarily Delayed” and the upper part of the process … Continue reading “Bluespring does it in style”
Since I only finished posting about yesterday’s sessions at the end of this morning, I decided to just do a final conference wrapup instead of separate wrapups for yesterday and today. In general, the BPM Think Tank was great, and I’ll definitely attend again in the future. I learned a lot about some of the … Continue reading “BPM Think Tank wrapup”
I listened in on an ebizQ webinar today, The Path to SOA Enlightenment, and some interesting points came up about SOA education. The sponsor of the webinar was the Integration Consortium, which of course has a vested interest in encouraging SOA education since they already offer training and certification, but there’s few who would disagree … Continue reading “SOA education”
Registration for the AIIM Expo 2006, to be held May 16-18 in Philadelphia, is now available online. I haven’t attended AIIM in a few years, but I’m thinking about attending the exhibits. So far, however, the list of BPM vendors and BI vendors look pretty sparse — I think that most of these vendors tend … Continue reading “AIIM Expo registration now open”
I recently discovered some notes that I had made back in November 2004 from a TIBCO webinar “Enabling Real-time Business with a Service-Oriented and Event-Driven Architecture”. Randy Heffner from Forrester spoke at that webinar, and I remember that it was his words that made me realize what an impact that SOA was going to have, … Continue reading “Retro look at the impact of SOA”
I just watched a webinar hosted by BPMinstitute called “Proven Steps to BPM Success”. By the time the webinar started, it was retitled as “Breakaway BPM — Leveraging Business Process Innovation for Strategic Advantage”, although there wasn’t really a lot of content that fit that description. Unfortunately the webinar started with a (short) presentation by … Continue reading “Steps to BPM Success”
No, I don’t think any of you are dummies — the title (however appropriate) is in sympathy with a letter received by Jason Calacanis and a follow-up suggestion by Jeff Jarvis. Check for related posts with the fordummies tag on Technorati. Back to the point of this post: an email that I received eariler this … Continue reading “BPM for dummies”
I received yet another email about the upcoming Gartner BPM Summit, and I continue to be horrified by the price of conferences: U$1,895 for 3 days?! Or how about the AIIM records management conference in Toronto next week: C$2,899 for 3 days? By the time you add in travel and living, it’s no mean chunk … Continue reading “We need a BPM camp”
BPMinstitute.org, a free BPM informational site, has just launced SOAinstitute.org. If you’re already a BPMinstitute.org member, you just need to login and add it to your profile. There’s quite a bit of content there already, likely moved over from the BPMinstitute.org site, and it has the identical format to BPMinstitute.org (e.g., webinars are listed as … Continue reading “SOAinstitute launched”
