Understood, but a standard needs their support to succeed.

LOL — IBM only actively supports the things it already has in the pipeline.

Derek,

Glad to see you here. BPRI is a good initiative. Let’s hope IBM supports it.

Just the reason why we are creating a standard at the OMG for runtime BPMS data, allowing standards based interaction with the BAM component of your choice (amongst other things).

Ismael, it shares most of the ideas that we had for BPQL, but takes them a bit further. Current working title is BPRI (Runtime Interface), but it needs a new name.

Barry,

Glad to hear.

BizTalk definitely is the best BPM tool for Microsoft Windows.

Too bad your support for BPEL is not more active nowadays.

Ismael,

Once again we agree! BAM has been an integral component of Microsoft BizTalk Server since 2004. Have a look here for more info. BizTalk comes with a wealth of tools to help your business users and developers build a great business activity monitoring dashboard, as well as to bring data into Excel where you can massage and analyze it.
