Business Process Management (BPM): When all is said and done the differentiator in any business is speed of building and executing processes. Business process management (BPM) and Web services are all about the business practices and technology architectures that organizations deploy to speed their market response, partnering, and value chains. The "Innovation Lab" of Perot Systems has been a pioneer in this space for nearly a decade, having predicted the advent of Web services since 1994 under the moniker of the Business Operating System.

1: 09/13/2005 - SOA: A Business Architecture for Managing Uncertainty (1.6MB, PDF)
Simply put, a Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is an approach to building information systems that provide nearly instantaneous responsiveness to changing market conditions - closing the gap between threat and opportunity. It is only recently that platforms, network interoperability, and standardization have evolved to a point where they can support the vision of these sorts of distributed, component-based applications. But, perhaps more to the point, the current economic climate has forced a crisis of integration upon every organization. There is a tremendous flight to integrated solutions which can provide liquidity in the information and process assets organizations are creating.
2: 02/15/2005 - BPM 2005 Market Milestone Report (4.1MB, PDF)
The BPM 2005 Market Milestone Report contains 100 pages of Delphi Group's most current and up-to-date market surveys on BPM. Included is end-user research and market trends, based on a survey of 900 users and evaluators, as well as primary research performed over 2004 and 2005. Also presented are over a dozen detailed analysis of leading software solutions and customer case studies (with approximately 12 pages of analysis dedicated for each solution examined).
3: 10/25/2003 - BPM 2003 Market Milestone Report (2.3 MB, PDF)
This report is based on a combination of a recent Delphi survey and additional analysis by Delphi Group's research team. Today's IT challenges are defined as much by what is in place already as by what might be missing. We have lived through the era of "killer apps" and spent the last two decades building islands of automation with packaged software. But the legacy left by these systems is an integration problem that today consumes the lion's share of most IT budgets.
4: 09/19/2002 - Web Services 2002 - Market Milestone Report (768K, PDF)
The most passionate supporters of Web services have proclaimed it as "bigger than the Internet" as well as the answer to every CIO's prayers and the one technology to finally bridge the gap between IT and business. Others have taken a more pragmatic view, casting Web services as over-hyped, overblown, and perhaps just one more excuse to sell new software. The truth is that both may be right. Web services offer nearly limitless potential to change the way software is deployed and managed, yet the near-term reality will undoubtedly fail to meet the lofty expectations set by its most feverent proponents.
