 Program Manager Nov 08, 2005
By Program Manager
Business Rules are just one area of advancement within trendy IT thinking today yet we need to know how they should work with BPM tools. This book tries to lay out a vision for two development methodologies. The business rules section is a bit sparse but there are plenty of good references on this subject. I particularly liked the chapter devoted to process convergence, which takes the BPM concepts and applies them to a data processing environment. Another strong point is that the book's case study provides many examples to reinforce points under discussion. The index is well organized. The illustrations that are sprinkled throughout the book also add humor and clarity.

 Business Intelligence May 09, 2007
By Osei Kufuor
The book could be an invaluable tool for designing SOA-based business intelligence. However, many typing errors exist in the text. Some statements in the book appear to contradict each other. The discussion on the business intelligence, Chapter 5, is difficult to follow. For example Figure 5.4 is very unclear. Specifically, how do the data from the dimensions in the data warehouse move from the data warehouse to the MQE? Where is the link from the data warehouse to the MQE? If the author can clean up all these issues, the book could be an excellent one for designing SOA-based business intelligence.

Practical BPM approach Nov 03, 2005
By Project Manager
This is a wonderful little book. The author explains in simple language how teams actually build business processes with today's software. Today's IT strategies are very complicated and it's hard to determine the correct approach for solving problems. The case study in the book clarifies how BPM and Business rules software works. Also, the author has included many diagrams to show how these solutions should fit together. If your company is considering BPM, this book will show you how to make it happen.

starts out slow but gains value; good overview of technologies used in SOA Feb 08, 2007
By Mary Ellen
I was going to stop reading after Ch 2 of this book, since it was way more than I wanted to know about bulldozers, but Chapter 3 got into some useful information and detail on how the technologies integrate. Each chapter built and finally tied it all together: how BPM, BPML, BPEL, BI are used in SOA. Good big picture overview of all the technologies role. I especially enjoyed the discussion of brokers to retrofit legacy apps.

Average book, not stellar Jan 26, 2007
By RC
"Product Manager"
I like Tom's approach to explaining BPM and a rules approach using a real world example. The book had numerous typo's, and I found it hard to believe it made it through the publisher with so many errors. I also found the overall organization of the book to be fair, but the details on each section were not so. Being in the industry, I was expecting more for the money. This book provides a good overview, but not recommended if you plan on moving from discovery into implementation.
