BPM and SOA — Different Sides of the Same Coin

Here is a link to a podcast inteview on the subject of BPM and SOA — Different Sides of the Same Coin addressing these questions:

• What new developments in the BPM space should companies be looking out for in the next 12 months?
• Increasingly, I’ve been hearing the words BPM and SOA used together a lot. How come?
• What are your thoughts on BPM Centers of Excellence? Do they or can they make a difference?

BPM Standards Session in NYC

I will be speaking at SOA World Conference & Expo, June 23-24, in New York City on the subject of “Making Sense of the BPM & SOA Standards Alphabet Soup“.

Here is the description: What is BPEL? What is XPDL? How are they different? What is the best use for each?

BPM Philosophy, not Technology

Found another interesting and thoughtful discussion of terminology: Workflow or Process Management. I like the six sided cube analogy, and I agree that BPM includes all those aspects. In this view again “workflow” is equated with the human dimension. The only critique I have of the post is: once you include all 6 facets, is there anything in the technical universe that is NOT BPM?
