Great article from the business insider here.  In it, John Mauldin makes a great case for optimism in the long run, despite a lot of short-term difficulties.  Its a long read but well worth it as we approach the end … Continue reading →

So Ishmael has a good post about the Intalio|Cloud Mashup tool.  It looks pretty cool from a technical point of view, and from an “exposing mashup capabilities to people otherwise unfamiliar with them” point of view. I’m wondering what other … Continue reading →

I had to laugh when I read John Reynolds’ latest post, regarding a process for solving Soduko puzzles.  My parents are avid Soduko puzzle fans, so I hope they never read this!  I’ve never been interested in the Soduko puzzle … Continue reading →

Interesting post from ActionBase’s Jakob Ukelson, positing that we need a process warehouse to store all the process data we produce. As he puts it: That led me to start thinking about the notion of a process warehouse – something … Continue reading →

Keith Swenson has a few posts on the frustrations of email these days – and after some time experimenting and a friendly nudge from me, he’s come around and tried OtherInbox. The problem?  Too much spam, which makes email nearly … Continue reading →

There was a post over on Lombardi’s “Process People” blog referencing all the events they’ve attended in the Fall of 2009, from Gartner BPM Summit to Forrester’s BTF to the Gartner ITxpo. Event schedules have wound down for 2009… but … Continue reading →

Apple’s net profit from iPhone’s exceeded Nokia’s by approximately 50% ($1.6B in net for Apple, $1.1B in net for Nokia). Its the first time Apple’s net profit in phones exceeded Nokia’s, and it is a dramatic reversal. Just 7.4 million … Continue reading →

So, when twitter turned up mentions of a new language from Google called Go, I was sure it was a prank.  I even looked at the calendar to see if it was some kind of day worthy of pranking the … Continue reading →

Continuing on an economic theme within our blog, topical due to the economic challenges and BPM’s relevancy to those challenges, here’s another offering along those lines.  A recent McKinsey Quarterly article discusses a new “managed services business model” that helps … Continue reading →

I just read an article in Fortune Magazine (my favorite offline read for flights or other times when I can’t be online), in which Michael Copeland argues that we need a revamping of the computing of autos.  As he points … Continue reading →

There was a pretty interesting case study for process collaboration shared on the Lombardi wiki recently.  Worth a quick read.  Tools like Blueprint are going to make this kind of story increasingly common.  Mostly people think of these BPM SaaS … Continue reading →

Read a fantastic article on the business insider about leadership, as written from the perspective of two gentlemen who served in Iraq as infantry officers in the Marine Corps. The quick highlights: Respect your people, your team.  But then they … Continue reading →

If you haven’t used the site, hunch, you might want to give it a look.  Its pretty interesting, as it attempts to crowdsource decisions.  Hunch also does a pretty good job of anticipating your answers to questions based on your … Continue reading →

Background: BPM Conferences Are Good… Conferences are a great way for colleagues and peers to network, share best practices, and re-energize and re-motivate their efforts.  In particular we’ve enjoyed participating and presenting at Lombardi’s Driven conferences in the past, and … Continue reading →

I’ve previously written about various Google Wave blogs and the SAP Gravity Demo, and continuing on that theme, Jacob Ukelson asks whether Google Wave is good enough to become a disruptive force as a “good-enough” BPMS, on the ActionBase blog. … Continue reading →

A new article from TBIResearch concludes that employees are driving iPhone adoption in the enterprise.  This fits the anecdotal observations I’ve made about my own friends – that those who can choose, are largely choosing iPhones, and those who can’t, … Continue reading →

A funny thing happened the other day on the way to the hotel. I’m commuting to San Francisco for a really interesting application of BPM technology to customer service scenarios for a company that doesn’t sell product – they sell … Continue reading →

Search CIO posted a good podcast about two weeks ago on the topic of selecting BPM tools / vendors, interviewing Mike Kravis.  There were a couple points I wanted to pull out from the transcript and expand on: Mr. Kravis … Continue reading →

The concept of “Dynamic BPM”, when explained, is certainly useful.  But I’m not much of a fan of the term itself.  First, it is yet another buzzword that means whatever the vendor du jour says it means.  So all the … Continue reading →

In a Forrester blog that usually focuses on more “process” and “application” issues, Claire Schooley recently blogged about Telepresence and Video Collaboration.  It might seem a little off-topic, but we at BP3 have written a few posts about video conferencing … Continue reading →
