Camping in BPM Territory

In my new role I am finally able to spend some quality time on a particular business/technology domain - Business Process Management. The previous role as an Integration PM gave me broad exposure to a wide range of technologies from mobile networks to digital video transmission to virtualized IT environments to enterprise application deployment. Having that broad view was fantastic, but I did wish I could stay long enough to go deeper in to a couple of those areas.

Thus, having been a bit of a gypsy I have now set up camp for an extended period in BPM-land. The concept has been around for some time, and BPM based architecture (i.e- Service Oriented Architecture- SOA) is still on its way up and is likely to be relevant for a while to come. Many larger companies have picked it up in a big way having made expensive and extensive transitions. Several large software houses have built their product strategies around it. If they can sell their BPM software to a company, they can package many other products that complement it. (Having said that, one of the biggest features of BPM s/w is its ability to integrate cross-platform).

Its getting late...
Will add to this soon.
