Please don’t read this post incorrectly. I don’t mean to disparage anyone in the janitorial profession. But if you’re an IT professional seeking to show value to your upper management, this is a question you need to be asking yourself.
Is your job turning into the IT janitor?

I had another chance to speak with Enterprise Technology Management (ETM) in a roundtable podcast hosted by Dana Gardner from Interarbor Solutions and a couple other BPM vendors. Topics in this roundtable discussion included different perspectives on current and future trends in Business Process Management, the evolving role of IT over the next decade, and modern day SOA best practices.
As usual, ETM does a great job selecting topics that are meaningful to today’s IT professionals and gathering insights from experts across the industry. You can click on the podcast link and register to download and listen to this informative roundtable discussion.

I recently had the opportunity to sit down in a podcast with Ali Klaver, Managing Editor of Enterprise Technology Management (ETM) to discuss the growth of BPM inside corporations, common benefits customers are realizing with BPM and how BPM is increasing the collaboration between IT and business.
We certainly live in exciting times in the BPM industry. We have seen dramatic consolidation in the industry as well as dramatic growth in adoption of BPM platforms. If you are an IT professional, and not up-to-speed yet on BPM, I encourage you to listen to the podcast and start your research in how your role will be changing over the next several years. The future is all about alignment of IT/Business for a common “Shared Purpose”, agile development, SaaS and Cloud offerings, and using a common tool to jointly model and manage your enterprise processes and applications.
To listen to this podcast, follow the link to the ETM website and register. ETM additionally offers a variety of other great resources to learn about trends in the IT and BPM industry.
