BPM in Peril -- Objects to the Rescue

by John Tibbetts

Both business process management (BPM) systems and the orchestration function of service-oriented architecture (SOA) are imperiled by the workflow implementation that they have inherited. They would do much better with an object/agent approach where process management (routing) is one of a constellation of interacting application functions that have intimate access to the data values that comprise the work that is being moved around. In this direction lie profoundly collaborative applications that are, as a side benefit, easy to think about, easy to build, and easy to maintain.
