Seems that there’s a problem with this theme on IE6 and IE7 – I only tested on IE8, my bad. I’ll get a fix in this weekend, either a new theme or a modified version of this one. Thanks for your patience! Update: I’ve reinstalled my old theme for now, although now the header gradient [...]
I’ve been seeing some performance problems with this blog, and have moved it over to PressHarbor on the advice of my friend Joey, who uses it for his very popular blog that sees a lot more traffic that I do. I’ve also changed the theme to a cleaner look that supports a few additional features [...]
Back in May at TIBCO’s TUCON conference, I had a chance for a briefing on their new ActiveMatrix BPM, although not a full demo. Since then, however, I’ve had about three hours of demo sessions with Roger King to see more of what they’re doing with ActiveMatrix (which I will refer to as AMX) BPM [...]
Dennis Howlett has a post today about paper.li, a service to create a daily roundup of the content collected by the people who you follow on Twitter. Sound confusing? Click through to read Dennis’ article and the one that he points to by Neville Hobson. Basically, if I follow you on Twitter and you tweet [...]
My favorite BPM conference of the year, the 8th International Conference on Business Process Management, is coming up in less than three weeks, on September 13-16. In the past, this has primarily been an academic conference where BPM researchers present their ongoing research, and this year they are adding industry case studies, tutorials, keynotes and [...]
It’s been a quiet summer for travel – I haven’t been on a plane since June – but my fall travel schedule awaits: September 13-16 is BPM 2010, the 8th International Conference on Business Process Management, which is the academic BPM conference that I’ve attended in Germany and Italy the past two years. This year, [...]

I had a briefing on Metastorm’s M3 collaborative modeling and Smart Business Workspace two weeks ago, and last week we had a follow-up demo. This is the start of a push towards a full BPM suite in the cloud, providing collaborative process modeling and the end user runtime hosted on Azure, but Microsoft still needs [...]
Summer is the time when no one holds conferences, because vacation schedules make it difficult to get the attendance, so webinars tend to expand to fill the gap. I’ll be presenting on another BP Logix webinar on August 10th, discussing process intelligence and predictive analytics; you can register (and see my smiling face in a [...]
I’m doing a webinar today on BPM Institute, hosted by Progress, on making financial services more responsive through event-driven processes. You can register here, which will also score you the white paper that I’ve written on the same topic.
This Thursday is the 3rd and last of the BPM Summer Camp webinar series that I’m doing with Active Endpoints. We’ve been keeping these light – even irreverent – but with some valuable information that you can take away and use in your own organization. This week, I’ll be presenting the five things you should [...]
TIBCO announces their cloud-based BI/analytics today: TIBCO Silver Spotfire, and you can even sign up for a free one-year trial. This shouldn’t be a huge surprise to those watching TIBCO announcements to date: at their conference in May, “Silver Analytics” was mentioned in the general session as an upcoming product release, and they’ve made much [...]
Those of you who have met me in person have probably seen my business cards: plain on the front, with the necessary information, and a Hugh MacLeod cartoon on the back: These StreetCards cards have served me well for a couple of years, but as my current stock declined, I thought it was time for [...]
Although we didn’t have a chance for a demo, I had a quick briefing with Greg Carter, Metastorm’s CTO, on the announcements that they made today. M3 Collaborative Modeling We discussed M3, their cloud-based collaborative process modeling tool. This is one of the first BPA/BPM offerings that I’ve seen on the Microsoft Windows Azure platform, [...]
A bit early for this, but maybe you’re already starting to organize your fall calendar. The business process track that was at the Business Rules Forum last year has grown, and become its own Business Process Forum. I believe that we need a good independent BPM conference – the ones run by the large analysts [...]
I’ll be presenting this Wednesday on how to improve BPM time to value by giving greater functionality to the knowledge workers to create their own processes, instead of having everything be implemented as an IT-controlled implementation. It’s sponsored by BP Logix, and you can register to attend here. Having been involved in a lot of [...]
BPM BlueWorks – Blog On the synergies of doing BPM and EA together: "From an organizational perspective the enterprise needs to leverage the synergistic powers of robust architectural planning and agile business optimization represented by EA and BPM respectively. From a technological perspective the enterprise needs to establish a platform that will enable the appropriate [...]
It’s noon, the keynotes have been going on all morning, and I have only just been inspired to blog. I’m not saying that standalone Enterprise 2.0 initiatives have jumped the shark, but there’s only so much rah-rah about enterprise collaboration that I can take before I fall back on three thoughts: Collaboration is already going [...]
Tagged e2confIt’s been quiet on the travel scene since my four-week marathon of conferences in May, and I have just one last one before we hit the summer doldrums: Enterprise 2.0 in Boston this week. I’m skipping the workshops today and heading down this afternoon – luckily, Toronto-Boston is covered by Porter Airlines, so I can [...]
