There aren’t quite as many independent BPM software vendors to report on these days, but I still try to keep track of their financial performance because it still seems that the overall trend is up and to the right – … Continue reading →

The highlight (for me) of last year’s SXSW-interactive conference was the Lean Startup SXSW – a whole day of planned content, mainly in one room (in the AT&T executive center) focused on the idea of “the lean startup”.  Eric Ries … Continue reading →

I guess if we can have Technical Debt, and Process Debt, why not Management Debt? Ben Horowitz’ post on Management Debt is a good read, but one thing that separates it from technical debt or process debt is that it … Continue reading →

In Brakoniecki’s post on Lean Start-ups and the idea of Entrepreneur, he delves into the apparent conflict between the Taylor “Great Man” theory, and the Lean Startup’s emphasis on leadership, and learning (all while in essence refuting the idea of … Continue reading →

David Brakoniecki chimes in on ACM’s product/market fit problem, and hopefully he won’t mind me quoting liberally from his post.  On the one hand, there is the rock:  free or nearly free software from various providers that addresses the freelance/collaboration … Continue reading →

Frank Michael Kraft’s post on Taylorism is interesting, in that it is a response to Jakob Freund’s post on the same subject, but with a different perspective, and a pretty balanced view. Since I mostly agree with his post I’ll … Continue reading →

I never considered myself a Mark Cuban fan.  But when I read his blogs and excerpts from his book I find him very convincing.  It just doesn’t translate into most of the TV appearances I’ve seen. One Entrepreneur.com, they’ve run … Continue reading →

After all the mergers and acquisitions in the BPM space over the last 2+ years, you could hardly blame people for thinking the BPM space was going to be dead or at least lacking innovation. However, some of us argued … Continue reading →

A series of articles to kick off the new year show that Austin is a bright spot still… Just today, OtherInbox announced it is selling to ReturnPath for an undisclosed amount.  Based on the smiles from the OtherInbox team, this … Continue reading →

I guess I’m not the only one who thinks Google is making too many enemies at once. John Gruber of Daring Fireball, riffing off of an MG Siegler post on the Serach+ announcement: It also occurs to me that there’s … Continue reading →

Peter Schooff once again asks the provocative question: “Will case management eclipse BPM in importance this year?” The answers were pretty interesting.  I guess I should first own up to my own: Short answer : no. More thoughtful answer : … Continue reading →

I liked Dave Brakoniecki’s analysis of OpenText’s December comments on their BPM strategy. Like Dave, I find it interesting that they think they’ll be most often running into Pega and IBM.  Dave’s thoughts: OpenText probably need to acquire some rules … Continue reading →

Happy New Year to our readers! 2011 was a very good year for BP3 – again, thanks to our customers, and our team.  Our customers continued to invest in BP3 and in BPM, and we’re grateful for the opportunity to … Continue reading →

What a great year for BPM 2011 was.  And it was also a good year of blogging for BP3! Not that volume page views is our goal per se, but something happened in 2011 as pageviews jumped from a ~3000/month … Continue reading →
