Well here’s an interesting post from someone at PWC consulting.

The way he’s presenting it, he appears to have seen the beginnings of an IT nirvana by linking business intelligence, rules and process management together to create a whole new “intelligent business process platform”, although it takes a “heroic effort” – no doubt through extensive services.

He also says that “enterprises that create value through rapid process changes are beginning to define a market opportunity for a preintegrated suite of tools that supports intelligent business performance management.”

I think he’s onto something there. Call us, PWC. We’ll talk.

He also found and interviews someone in SAP to explain how they will be framing these categories as applications that people will adopt similar to the ERP adoption pattern.

Hmmm….

For the former, this begs the question, is BPM a ready made problem for CEP to solve? Or vice versa?

For the SAP position, well… nah, I’m not gonna comment on that one. SAP provides too many customers to companies like TIBCO to solve / and or augment their ERP systems.

What do you think?
