Although I agree with you that BPM tools are targeted at multiple audiences spanning both business and IT, I find that BEA’s offering (and I’m not sure whether it’s the technology itself or the marketing spin) is more clearly aimed at IT — even parts that I think should be creeping into the business side of the house. I made a comment in <a href=”http://www.column2.com/2007/05/beaparticipate-and-tucon-wrapups/” rel=”nofollow”>my wrap-up post</a>, where I reviewed both the TIBCO and BEA conferences since I attended them back to back, which I feel holds true for your session and others that I attended:
