Lombardi Now Offers On-Demand Process Mapping Training Program

The course has been built by Lombardi and Bruce Silver who is the found of BPMessentials.com.

Bruce Silver, founder of BPMessentials.com and co-developer of the course mentions:

"In this training we've tried to provide a cookbook approach to getting started in BPM: organizing the project team, facilitating the mapping sessions, and capturing that information in a process diagram. Blueprint is a perfect tool for that, and we plan to use it in future course development as well."

Microsoft: Does it own the BPM space?

BPM means different thing to everyone in the corporate world. This post on The Register discusses that whether you view BPM as Business Performance Monitoring, Business Process Modeling or Business Process Management Microsoft seems to be leading vendors in supplying users with workflow solutions, middleware, analytics, and much more.

It will be interesting to see how some of Microsoft’s competitors like IBM, Oracle, and Lombardi will position its BPM Suites to combat Microsoft’s majority share of this area. What are your thoughts on Microsoft and BPM?
