Gartner-->ZapThink

The Gartner people have the right idea at the “C Level” but I never can get down to the beef. ZapThink actually has some of the beef. If you can afford the time this webcast has one of the better explanations of SOA and SOI (Service Oriented Integration).

Attached is a mindmap I created while viewing the presentation from Ronald Schmelzer at ZapThink. It really helps if you have a dual monitor while viewing a webinar and creating the mindmap on another display while simultaneously viewing. If you don’t have the mindjet viewer just unzip the folder and fine the index.html and enjoy. PS. I added some Composite Application from CFO.com to the map under Component Application Development. Enjoy <Dan/>

Subject: [bcm] Gartner BINI and BCM

Just noticed the November issue of IntelligentEnterprise.com has

an article about Business Intelligence Network Infrastucture (BINI)

- and how Gartner is defining this. They are putting a 2008

timeframe on availability.

Seems to me they are glossing over significant implementation

detail that BCM is addressing (no surprises there!).

Also not surprisingly the goals of enterprise information agility

and netcentricity overlap almmost completely with Gartners BINI

analysis.

We may want to open a channel to Gartner to let them know

that the means to deliver BINI is BCM.
