I attended the Software AG Process Forum in Singapore to speak about EBPM. After my session I attended a great customer presentation by Standard Chartered Bank. Dipen Mehta spoke about the bank itself, their business strategy, the solution, and the approach they chose to implement the strategy, as well as the value they achieved. It was a terrific presentation and I want to share some highlights with you.

This post is being written live from the ProcessForum in Moscow where I just spoke about Enterprise BPM and its impact on the organizational ability to change. Talking about change, last time I was in Moscow was in 1985 and it is unbelievable how the city progressed since then… It is also great to see that here are about 400 professionals from all over Russia to exchange and to learn about new BPM trends.

Software AG today announced that the ARIS Community has passed the 100,000 membership mark within 22 months of its launch.

Earlier this week Software AG was ranked as the top leader in the 2011 Forrester Wave for Enterprise Service Bus. Although Software AG has been rated a leader in all of the past three waves, this the first time that Software AG is #1 with highest scores for current offering (4.89 out of 5), strategy (4.6 out of 5) and market presence (4.78 out of 5).
 
Wondering how Forrester came up with a simple Wave graphic summarizing a very sophisticated technology space? It’s based on 109 detailed criteria questions that we responded to and are available as part of the report from Forrester. Forrester also required detailed briefings, demos and reference calls with customers who are using the rated products in productions. All-in-all, the ESB Wave process with Forrester took about 4 months from start to finish. While participating in the wave is quite an effort by itself, the reality is that the leading position is a culmination of years of effort and persistence.
