TweetI saw – and responded to – this question on Quora today: What are the license fees / cost for the the top BPM solutions in the market ? ( Pegasystems, IBM ( Lombardi ) , Appian, Oracle , etc ) I am looking forward to do a benchmark of the top BPM ( Business [...]
TweetI’m a firm believer in free and open information exchange – not always a popular view amongst independents like myself who make our living selling our knowledge and experience to organizations – and that principle is why I became involved in the Process Knowledge Initiative and its creation of an open-source body of knowledge for [...]
TweetIn my Links post last Friday, I linked to a post on Mike Gammage’s blog that quoted Janelle Hill of Gartner speaking at the recent Gartner BPM Summit in London: The right answer in selecting a BPMS is often three BPMSs, based on the particular projects’ needs. I commented that this seemed to indicate that [...]
TweetAside from the really poorly scaled logo graphic at the top that looks all squished, does anyone see anything wrong with this website that pops up when I try to access the wifi at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre? That’s right, $395 for access for a single computer. No, there’s no missing period in [...]
Tagged mtcc, wifiTweetAll week, the local tech community has been buzzing around the news that Bell Canada is throttling P2P traffic — specifically the widely-used BitTorrent protocol — for not only their direct Sympatico subscribers, but also for anyone who buys their supposedly unlimited DSL from a Sympatico reseller, such as TekSavvy. For those of you new [...]
TweetForrester just released their new report on human-centric BPMS. Hmmmm, the title is actually “The Forrester Wave?: Human-Centric BPM For Java Platforms, Q3 2007″. BPM for Java? Good way to totally alienate the business community from ever wanting to be involved in selecting a BPMS, guys.
TweetI was just about to start crowing over how I haven’t paid for internet access since I arrived in the Bay area last Tuesday — the ratty old Best Western in Mountain View had free wired access as well as being in the Google wifi zone, and the Hilton in San Francisco’s financial district doesn’t [...]
TweetIf you’ve emailed me this week at my kemsleydesign.com address and the email has bounced, it’s because I’m in the process of changing hosting providers and Yahoo (the relinquishing provider) is doing everything in its power to screw things up for me — like not transferring my domain to a new registrar upon request. I’ve [...]
TweetI have a busy next few months lined up, between conferences that I’m attending (such as next week’s Gartner BPM summit in San Diego — check back here then for live blogging) and ones where I’m speaking (such as the Shared Insights collaboration conference in May in Las Vegas). Regardless of my role at a [...]
TweetWorkflow Modelling, a book recommended by Bruce Silver (who knows more than a little about this subject). Buy from Amazon in the US for $66.30. Buy from Amazon in Canada for $106.50. In case you’re not up on your exchange rates, today’s rates would make $US66.30 = $C77.20.
TweetI just finished moderating today’s Gartner/Appian webinar on ebizQ, which means that I did the intro at the beginning, then moderated the Q&A at the end. On ebizQ webinars, audience members can ask questions through a typed chat window, and then I (as the moderator) can review them and pick out ones to ask. I [...]
TweetI’m off to this year’s BPMG conference, Process 2006, where I’ll be giving a presentation on Wednesday about Web 2.0 and BPM. I’m doing some final edits on my slides (I know, I should have had them in to the conference organizers some time ago) and thinking about how I want to focus my talk, [...]
TweetEmail newsletters: the web 1.0 of permission marketing. How many of these do you subscribe to? How many that you receive do you actually read? I receive a number of email newsletters each day, almost all on the subject of technology in some way, but I have to confess that there are over 300 of [...]
TweetI’ve had two “inconsiderate customer” incidents this week; actually, both are customers who I’ve done quite a bit of work for in the past but have been inactive for some time. With customer #1, I contracted in as their business and application architect for several months; even though they didn’t really get what enterprise architecture [...]
