To access the podcast, visit http://www.soa-consortium.org/podcast-jv-pr. The main objective of the SOA-BPM Relationship Hot Topic Roundtable was to generate a meaningful conversation between Thought Leaders and meeting attendees on the hot topic of the relationship between SOA and BPM. The SOA Consortium's position is that SOA and BPM are complements. Each Roundtable participant gave a brief overview of their thoughts on one of the following topics: * Business Discipline: Often, BPM and SOA are discussed solely in respect to their implementation technologies, rather than as business disciplines that enable business process improvement, business performance management and business agility. Thought leaders discussed SOA and BPM from a business discipline perspective, stating commonalities, complements and conflicts. * Methodology: Thought leaders discussed the value or characteristics of a methodology that allows for a seamless transition from BPM to SOA. * Technology: Thought leaders discussed how current SOA and BPM technologies do or don't work together and how SOA and BPM technologies should work together. * Human Element: Thought leaders discussed the human element of the SOA-BPM divide. Is the divide business versus IT, or is it different? SOA-BPM Relationship Thought Leaders were: * Ashwini Ahuja, SDG SDG Soli Deo Gloria (Latin: To God Alone the Glory) SDG Siding (railways) SDG Strategic Decisions Group SDG Software Development Group (NCSA) Corporation * Sooraj Balgobin, The SOA Monitor * Brian Erickson, Hitachi Consulting * Facilitator: Brenda Michelson, SOA Consortium Program Director After the individual presentations, SOA Consortium meeting attendees joined the discussion with questions and comments. The SOA Consortium mission, strategies and tactics center on the following premises: * Service-oriented architecture adoption is a key enabler for the 21st century enterprise * Achieving the benefits of service-oriented architecture requires significant changes for both IT and business executives * Service-oriented architecture is a business agility story, not just an IT integration story * Enterprise SOA practitioners would greatly benefit from a vibrant practitioner community to drive local, business-driven, SOA success, and to spur broader enterprise, and industry-wide, SOA adoption. The next SOA Consortium meeting is December 12-13, 2007 in Burlingame, Calif., at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport hotel.
