IBM’s BPM Donut Hole

By |2016-12-29T13:40:12-08:00April 13th, 2011|BPMN, BPMS|

Uniting Lombardi's business-empowered process tooling with WPS horsepower and integration was a brilliant move by IBM, one that makes them, in my view, the clear BPMS thought leader (in addition to #1 in market share).  But I am willing to bet that if you took IBM's top 20 BPM customers and had a way of [...]

IBM’s BPMS Endgame

By |2011-04-11T18:43:31-07:00April 11th, 2011|BPMN, BPMS|

Clay (Coat o'Paint) Richardson and I have agreed to disagree about whether IBM Business Process Manager's having two process engines is a bad thing (sez he) or a don't-care (sez I).  In the analyst session at Impact today, it wasn't really clear if the two-engine approach is the long-term answer or just all they can [...]

IBM Business Process Manager: More Than a New Coat of Paint

By |2016-12-29T13:40:12-08:00April 11th, 2011|BPMN, BPMS|

Today at Impact IBM announced their next-generation BPMS called IBM Business Process Manager v7.5.  At heart it is the unification of WebSphere Lombardi Edition (fka Teamworks) and WebSphere Process Server.  Some have called it just "a new coat of paint" on the existing offerings, because the (Lombardi) Process Designer and the (WPS) Integration Designer tools [...]

Three Cheers for BonitaSoft

By |2016-12-29T13:40:12-08:00April 5th, 2011|BPMN, BPMS|

I have run across 5 BPMS vendors interested in my BPMN-I work: Activiti, BonitaSoft, Oracle, SAP, and IBM.  Of the five, BonitaSoft is so far the most successful in actually implementing BPMN 2.0-based model interchange.  Not only that, they are the only one so far that has implemented any of my suggestions for conforming to [...]

SAP BPM Update

By |2011-03-17T16:24:29-07:00March 17th, 2011|BPMN, BPMS|

Yesterday I got a look at SAP's BPM v7.3, now in "ramp-up" (extended beta).  I hadn't heard much lately about SAP in the BPM area, so I was really surprised to see how far they have come.  The new offering, called the "Process Orchestration Solution", combines NetWeaver BPM, focused on human tasks, and NetWeaver Process [...]

BPMN Model Interchange: Update

By |2016-12-29T13:40:13-08:00February 26th, 2011|BPMN, BPMS|

Last summer I posted on the challenge of achieving process model interchange via the BPMN 2.0 standard.  In the half year since then, vendor progress toward that goal has been about zero.  It seems that vendors, in particular the ones that drove the standard, don't really care about this most fundamental user expectation of any [...]

Appian Tempo

By |2016-12-29T13:40:13-08:00February 9th, 2011|BPMS|

Appian today launched Tempo, a new social/mobile capability of their BPM Suite.  Sandy Kemsley has the full details here, which means I don't need to repeat them.  I just have a couple comments about it.   First, it's really well executed.  Clean and smoothly integrated into the BPM environment.  Second, it seems a more reasonable implementation [...]

A Thoroughly Modern AWD

By |2010-10-19T18:01:34-07:00October 19th, 2010|BPMS|

One of the oldest BPMS's around is one you may not have heard of: AWD from DST Technologies.  If you send in a check to fund your retirement account or pay an insurance premium, chances are good that AWD is running the process to handle that transaction and the customer service surrounding it.  Up to [...]
