Surveys from BPTrends and BEA Reflect on 'The State of BPM in 2008'

Jean-Jacques Dubray, InfoQueue

In the past couple of weeks, two major reports on "The State of BPM in 2008" were published. The first one (54 pages) was based on a survey filled by 274 respondents and published by Paul Harmon and Celia Wolf, Executive Editor and Publisher of BPTrends.com. The second one

(36 pages) was based on analyst reports, articles and a survey of customers and was published by BEA with Sandy Kemsley as a co-author.

BPTrends reports that a wide variety of process standards are being used by the respondents. However,

BPMN shows the strongest momentum with 41% (from 22% in 2006) and

BPEL showing a modest progression with 26 % (from 23% in 2006).

XPDL (6%) and the

OMG Process Metamodel (7%) are far behind while

UML (30%) and

CMM/CMMI (28%) remain fairly stable.
