If you understand Business process management (BPM), you know it is more than another TLA. In the end, it is about the tooling — real tools in the hands of your business analysts and programmers. Being able to build programmatic workflows customized to your business. Sounds like something nice to have as part of a middleware solution.
No surprise that a new book about the JBoss jBPM product caught Tom Baeyens attention. Tom is the founder and leader of jBPM, and in his short review Great Book About JBoss jBPM wrote:
The book targets architects, analysts and developers that want to get started with jBPM. Matt succeeded in bringing great value for all three target groups. It starts with a fresh look at the value of BPM and practical guidelines on how to start a BPM project. Installation of every required piece of software is explained in detail. Even less technical people will have no problems to get the software up and running with these very simple step by step instructions.
