John Tibbetts
Senior Consultant
|
John Tibbetts is a Senior Consultant with Cutter Consortium's Enterprise Architecture and Agile Project Management practices. He has spent the last half of his 30-year computing career helping enterprises and their software vendors articulate and implement coherent, principled software architectures. He works with technical architecture teams as they come to strategic decisions and, at the other end of the spectrum, serves as technology coach, mentor, and motivator to in-the-trenches development teams. He is especially good at making complex software issues comprehensible to senior management.
His special passion is the emerging category he defines as "collaborative transactions," an approach that blends multi-role workflow, business rule-processing, access control and secure collaboration into an integrated, single-metaphor development model. To this end, he has developed the new WorkThru framework, a Java-based open-source platform that uses middle-tier objects to hold and manipulate individual pieces of long-running work-in-progress.
John is the founder of Kinexis, an 18-year-old consulting firm. His clients have included a wide range of large insurance, utility, transportation, telecommunication, software and hardware companies. During the dot-com era, he was Chief Technology Officer of the software startup ePropose, Inc. and subsequently of TreasuryX, a partnership between ePropose and the agribusiness giant Cargill.
As co-writer of the "Tibbetts and Bernstein: Developments" column for six years, he was one of InformationWeek's featured contributors. He has also written for Object Magazine, Distributed Computing, American Programmer (now known as Cutter IT Journal), and other technical publications. His book Building Cooperative Processing Applications was published by John Wiley & Sons, and a book surveying workflow alternatives is in the works.
