The questions of BPM vs Case Management, process vs case, and – almost too horrible for some Case people to contemplate – BPMN extensions for case management – are getting all frothy again. Here is my take on the topic. 1. The question is BPM part of case management, or is case management part of [...]
At this week’s SAP Tech Ed conference in Las Vegas, BPM is definitely off the main track. The only other BPM analyst here that I recognized is Jim Sinur of Gartner. The keynote sessions were all about HANA, SAP’s new in-memory analytics platform that is the key to reinvigorating the entire SAP portfolio (at least [...]
Interest in BPM training and certification is accelerating, and being able to understand and create BPMN process models has become a critical foundation skill. We’ve set the dates for the next 3-day virtual classroom: July 11, 12, and 13 from 11am-4pm ET (8am-1pm PT, or 5pm-10pm Europe time). Check out Sandy Kemsley’s review of the [...]

I’m at the annual OMG BPM Think Tank event in Chicago and, to be perfectly honest, it isn’t working any more.

They would say they never left it, but from a marketing perspective Savvion is suddenly re-emerging from a quiet period with the introduction of version 7.5 and related vertical application initiatives. Since the beginning of the year they have been able to right the ship financially – reporting 6% net profit for the fiscal year, and 16% [...]
