I think that, in essence, this news tells two things: 1) BPM is good for enterprises and 2) BPM benefits much from SOA (i.e. BPM with SOA is easier than without). From that it derives that BPM initiatives will drive SOA adoption.
I think that 2) should be clear to everybody, or am I wrong? At least if we talk about a SOA based on technologies supported by BPM systems, like WS-* . And I guess 1) can be the matter of long discussions, but probably out of the scope of this group. Regards -- Javier 2006/12/14, Gervas Douglas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Like it or not, in the corporate world Gartner's opinions carry a lot of weight, even if merely as a butt-covering defence of decisions taken.
