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 [...]
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 [...]

The new offering, called the “Process Orchestration Solution”, combines NetWeaver BPM, focused on human tasks, and NetWeaver Process [...]
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 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 [...]
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 [...]
