Following up on my previous post on the BPM Game Changer…
There are already two vendors that are developing Enterprise Activity Streams:
The first is Tibco’s Silver – tibbr
tibbr is an enterprise Twitter-like application.
I’m impressed by the fact that they were the first BPM vendor to see the potential, build a solution, and even deploy it internally to check it out.
Although Tibco unveiled tibbr nearly a year ago, I supprised they haven’t generated the marketing buzz one would expect from a new product. It’s currently flying under the radar, but I’m pretty sure we will be hearing about it soon.
Tibco’s Vivek Ranadivé explains their vision here:
The second BPM vendor that is developing an enterprise Twitter-like application is IBM.
IBM has unveiled Blueworks Live
The idea behind Blueworks Live is that you’ll be able to automate processes that are run over email today using checklist and approval process app templates.
Blueworks Live will also enable access to expert online business process communities
IBM’s Phil Gilbert explains his vision here:
Both solutions are SaaS-based offerings, both innovative and both worth watching…

I have worked within tibbr quite a bit, and it is extremely useful and innovative software. The capabilities go far beyond that of a simple social networking platform within a corporation. With HTML5, I can only imagine what the potential is for things like tibbr as a single platform for all communications and interactions within an organization. Really cool stuff!
