BPM isn't yet "the killer app for SOA"
As part of our
BPM Continuous Advisory Service, we're carrying out twice-yearly research studies which capture information about the state of maturity and practice of BPM in European businesses. We've finally finished analysing the results of our first study, and published the report.
One of the most interesting things for me in processing all the findings from the study was that for now at least, making too simplistic a connection between BPM and SOA looks like being a risky thing to do. Where BPM and SOA initiatives exist in organisations today, all the signs point to them being conducted in completely separate worlds, by completely separate teams with wildly differing sets of assumptions and expectations.
We've highlighted other key findings of the study over on our
BPM blog, which is a key element of our BPM service but is freely accessible by anyone.
