BPM-EAI. Below is my take on various aspects of end-to-end BPM solution development in IBM BPM vs PEGA PRPC. My observations are primarily centered around ground realities in terms of industry adoption. The strengths indicated below are relative to each other. Sections of the blog meant for Business Leaders and Decision makers - [TTM and TCO for the solution], [Market presence, Sustainability and Delivery risk], Future trends Sections of the blog meant for Architects and Techies - Tool features [Inception/Elaboration/Construction/Transition] Going forward in this note, my reference to IBM and PEGA would be to IBM BPM 8.1 Advanced and PRPC 6.2 SP2 respectively. Also, i will be talking only about OOTB features and will not touch upon customization aspects as they can be pretty context sensitive.

TTM and TCO for the solution PRPC can be looked upon as "BPM in a box". The industry BPM frameworks provides by PEGA seem to have a strong edge over IBM.

An Introduction to Agile Business Process Management. This month we have been looking at Information Agility, describing it as a way of not just managing our information, but also of managing it such a way so as to be able to respond to rapid changes taking place in the market.

Here we will look at business processes and how agility is finding its way into business process management to make them more effective and more responsiveness to those changing circumstances. In January this year Gartner released its BPM for 2010 and beyond. Gartner does this every year and in doing so is very careful for obvious reasons to define exactly what it means as business process management. What is Agile Business Process Management? Business process management, the report says, is a way to automate and manage structured, repeatable business processes. Agility, we said, is the abiity to respond to our information quickly to a set of given circumstances.

Agile BPM and the Enterprise Agile BPM, they argued, applies to businesses where: Agile BPM Drivers. BPM Center.

Ann All spoke with Sandy Kemsley, an independent analyst and systems architect specializing in business process management, Enterprise 2.0, enterprise architecture and business intelligence. She heads up Kemsley Design Ltd., performing BPM engagements across North America and working as an analyst with BPM vendors. She also blogs about BPM and enterprise architecture at Column 2. Earlier this month she gave a presentation on BPM and social networking at the Software 2010 conference held by the Norwegian Computing Society in Oslo.

All: Why are companies interested in BPM solutions with collaborative elements? Kemsley: There are two sides that I talk about: There's social interaction, and there's social production. Both of them can be valuable in an enterprise process management context. An example I use is Beehive at IBM, which is like an internal Facebook. Sandy Kemsley Kemsley Design Ltd. All: That begs the question: Will all of these people want to be involved? Enabling BPM Through Technology. 4. Download eBooks and Papers.

BPM_Blogs. Bpel4people. What is Business Process Management (BPM)? BPM is a way of looking at and then controlling the processes that are present in an organization. It is an effective methodology to use in times of crisis to make certain that the processes are efficient and effective, as this will result in a better and more cost efficient organization.

It should involve a continuous evaluation of the processes and include taking actions to improve the total flow of processes. The steps that can be recognized in BPM are: Analyze Re-design and model Implement Monitor Manage Automate This list indicates that most of the work is trying to understand the current situation and then to design and implement a better one.

Community Network Blogs. Introduction I've titled this a garage sale (or yard sale as my US colleagues would say) as it's a real mixed bag of topics that are related in some way that I want to sell (I mean discuss but it ruins my analogy). It's pretty broad in terms of covering business process, methodologies, SOA and development, but if you are BPX'er with some technical savvy or a Solution Architect (Functional or Technical) then please read-on as I'd love to nail this with a decent discussion and potential future follow-up in another blog.

My reason for writing this blog is to put forward some ideasto try cement a direction for those who work for organisations where software development is not their core business and where they are bombarded by all thebest practices out there right now. Background Information So if you're like me, you know or believe that: Good question and hears a few reasons why... Problem 1 Problem 2 Problem 3 So we want to implement SOA because we know integration costs are huge. Problem 4.
