I was in San Francisco last week at JavaOne at the same time that Gartner's IT/Symposium was taking place, though I was unable to attend Gartner's event. I was however on a JavaOne panel that discussed Ajax, SOA, and Web 2.0, the convergence of the latter two in particular which is a topic of special interest to me. The organizations that can effectively add enterprise context to this and make it work successfully for them will be able to develop a sustainable competitive advantage.

Process matters
« Your brain on Google | Main | Distrust and verify » November 21, 2005 Last week, Ross Mayfield posted an interesting essay called The End of Process . In it, he argues that software-mediated social networks will tend to render formal business processes obsolete by reducing the costs of communication and coordination. "I do believe," he says, "the arguments for engineering organizations are being trumped by new practices and simple tools. The first organizations bringing [processes] to an end will have a decided competitive advantage."

Business Process Trends :: Columns & Articles
I've been spending a lot of time lately looking at solutions for automated business processes that are based on the online, low-barrier, and highly collaborative worlds of SaaS and Web 2.0. Primarily, this is part of my exploration of using Web 2.0 in the enterprise, sometimes called Enterprise 2.0 , but which we call Enterprise Web 2.0 here. This area is of importance because good, effective Business Process Management has been one of the holy grails of enterprise software for years now. Traditional software development has repeatedly yielded BPM results that are too heavyweight, brittle, hard-to-change, and not responsive to the business.

Webinar: Getting Started with BPM
I think the term "Workflow" is back. Not that it ever went away. It is just that it has been such a pejorative word. The most common reason given for the difference between "Workflow" and "BPM" was: Workflow is that old stuff we don't do anymore, BPM is much newer, much better.

Working with Windows Workflow Foundation in ASP.NET
n September of 2005, Microsoft unleashed Windows Workflow Foundation (Windows WF) at its semi-annual Professional Developer's Conference. As one of the pillars of the WinFX APIs, Windows WF provides developers with a common framework on which to develop process driven and workflow-centric applications. Currently, when organizations wish to automate business processes the standard answer is to assemble a team of developers to write the appropriate code. While this approach has generally served organizations well, it has some inherent problems. To understand why, you need to understand some fundamental characteristics of a workflow. A workflow is essentially a way of documenting the activities involved in completing a unit of work.
