In fact, I think you were the first person to make this argument to me - that the service layer is the most differentiating aspect of Lombardi (much to our surprise). There are a few other differentiators from a business perspective, but this one is all about TCO and Time-to-Market with your deliverables... LOL, Greg, please let’s not resurrect TCL :)

This is the implementation layer where user forms are assembled, connectors to external systems are implement and data manipulation occurs. Those suites that don't possess a similar layer will explain that this really doesn't belong in BPM. Instead they will point to SOA layers and web service connectors. In 90% of cases, these are simply overkill for the level of data manipulation required and mean yet another skill set necessary in the implementation team. Funny thing is, Lombardi really don't make much noise about this "feature". Why" don't know, possibly having an embedded integration layer is not considered a totally modern architecture. But I can say without question, the feature saves time and effort and should be part of any complete BPM suite (in my opinion). Now, all we have to do is resurrect Tcl!!
