BPM and SOA Maturity
Going into the new year, I’ve decided to finally start this blog. I registered this blog site probably 4-5 months ago and haven’t done anything until now. Due to various strings of events, I finally got kicked in the butt to start writing something. So here it is! The first entry to wind up the year 2008 and in 2009 (all things crossed), we’ll have useful blogs on all things to do with executing processes.
So many might say, “what is business process to execution?”, some might even say “oh no! not another SOA blog site!”. A quick search on google would yield many results on SOA and BPM the 2 big buzz words these days. What many might not have are practical advice and insights on how to align the 2. Do we want to align the 2 at all? How do we do it? NO, I won’t try to just simply suggest a book to learn how (unless I wrote that book). What hopefully this blog can give you are practical advice, incite interesting discussions and point you to relevant and useful information about the world of Business Processes, its execution via SOA (or other means). And hopefully provide the elusive answer for “how in the world do we manage this all?!”
