I am looking at this blog to be a consolidation effort of thoughts out there around Business Process Management and Service Oriented Architecture both from business and technical perspective. Looking forward to starting a series of debates and discussions around topics which are essential to bring us all to on the same page. I would deeply appreciate everyone involved in this field to chip in and provide valuable inputs and resources to make it a successful endeavour.

Hi Kapil,
Great to see a new blog on BPM! Good to see new insights and questions. Welcome and good luck with blogging.
I have added you to my RSS reader and included you in a long list of BPM blogs that we use internally in my company.
And I hope to react to some of your posts!

Hi Kapil,
Nice to join your BPM/SOA blog here !
Based on experiences last year I believe it would be safe to say that 2008 seems exciting since a majority of the business community (those who value IT at least, believe me in this part of the world there are many who don’t!) have now moved from the SOA - What? & SOA - Why? mode to a SOA-How? process. While last year saw many businesses looking for help in building up a SOA business case, this is would be time for some of those detailed presentations/excels/service contract definitions to actually see the light of the day in the ‘real-world’ and such newer challenges are expected to come up !
I believe 2008 would be the year when businesses focussed on SOA would primarily try to justify the costs by focussing on BPM, and its returns on Operational Efficiency and how SOA aids the process improvement cycle and also throw in advantages like legacy rejuvination, service-reuse as side-benefits.
Another area which I believe has not done well as per as the business community goes in Web 2.0 and the information collaboration worker. Though I agree with some prominent bloggers when they say there is still hope for Web 2.0 in 2008 it seems Mashups as a driver for SOA this year seems a bit far-fetched !
Would look forward to your new posts and like to do some writing as well. Do get in touch @ soumak.chatterjee (at) gmail.com !!
