SAP acquiring @Signavio into Business Process Intelligence unit

SAP acquiring @Signavio into Business Process Intelligence unit

By Sandy Kemsley on January 28, 2021

I first met Signavio CEO Gero Decker in 2008, when he was a researcher at Hasso Platner Institut and emailed me about promoting their BPMN poster — a push to have BPMN (then version 1.1) recognized as a standard for process modeling. I attended the academic BPM conference in Milan that year but Gero wasn’t […]

Virtual conference best practices: 2020 in review

Virtual conference best practices: 2020 in review

By Sandy Kemsley on January 24, 2021

Wow, it’s been over two months since my last post. I took a long break over the end of the year since there wasn’t a lot going on that inspired me to write, and we were in conference hiatus. Now that (virtual) conferences are ramping up again for 2021, I wanted to share some of […]

BP3 Brazos Portal For IBM BPM: One Ring To Rule Them All?

BP3 Brazos Portal For IBM BPM: One Ring To Rule Them All?

By Sandy Kemsley on July 30, 2014

Last week BP3 announced the latest addition to their Brazos line of UI tooling for IBM BPM: Brazos Portal. Scott Francis gave me a briefing a few days before the announcement, and he had Ivan Kornienko, their director of UI/UX, along to give a demo. As a recap, BP3 is a boutique-sized IBM BPM services […]

Developer-Friendly BPM

Developer-Friendly BPM

By Sandy Kemsley on June 12, 2014

I gave a webinar yesterday sponsored by camunda on developer-friendly BPM, discussing the myth of zero-code BPM. I covered the different paradigms of BPM development, that is, fully model-driven versus process models and code, with some pointers for how to evaluate the different approaches within your organization – it’s not a simple one-size-fits-all decision for most […]

The Case For Smarter Process At IBMImpact 2014

The Case For Smarter Process At IBMImpact 2014

By Sandy Kemsley on May 9, 2014

At analyst events, I tend to not blog every presentation; rather, I listen, absorb and take some time to reflect on the themes. Since I spent the first part of last week at the analyst event at IBM Impact, then the second half across the country at Appian World, I waited until I had to […]

bpmNEXT 2014 Tuesday Session: It’s All About Mobile

bpmNEXT 2014 Tuesday Session: It’s All About Mobile

By Sandy Kemsley on March 27, 2014

I’ll blog this year the same as last year’s bpmNEXT demos, with each session of multiple demos in a single post. The posts are a bit long, but they are usually grouped into themes so it works better that way. First up was Brian Reale of Colosa (makers of ProcessMaker open source BPM and ProcessMapper) […]

AWD Advance 2014: A Morning Of Strategy, Architecture And Customer Experience

AWD Advance 2014: A Morning Of Strategy, Architecture And Customer Experience

By Sandy Kemsley on March 19, 2014

I still think that DST is BPM’s best kept secret outside of their own customer base and the mutual fund industry in which they specialize: if I mention DST to most people, even other BPMS vendors, they’ve never heard of them. However, they have the most fiercely loyal customers that I’ve ever seen, in part […]

Countdown To #bpmNEXT 2014

Countdown To #bpmNEXT 2014

By Sandy Kemsley on February 20, 2014

The conference that I was most excited to attend last year was bpmNEXT, conceived and executed by Bruce Silver and Nathaniel Palmer: “it’s like DEMO for BPM” is how Bruce original described it to me, and that’s how it turned out. I blogged almost 7,000 words about bpmNEXT and the individual sessions in two days […]

Getting Connected With Bosch

Getting Connected With Bosch

By Sandy Kemsley on February 5, 2014

I’m at Bosch Software Innovations (Bosch SI) first ConnectedWorld conference on a bit of a whim: their analyst relations included me on the standard mailer, and I responded that I could attend if they covered my travel expenses. They agreed, and here I am in Berlin — consider that also my disclaimer that Bosch has […]

Effektif: Simple BPM In The Cloud

Effektif: Simple BPM In The Cloud

By Sandy Kemsley on January 16, 2014

Ten months ago, Tom Baeyens (creator of jBPM and Activiti) briefed me on a new project that he was working on: Effektif, a cloud-based BPM service that seeks to bridge the gap between simple collaborative task lists and complex IT-driven BPMS. In October, he gave me a demo on the private beta version, with some […]
