Enabling Process Entrepreneurs  

Phil Wainewright describes the next wave of innovation for IT in Loosely Coupled weblog - Process entrepreneurs. With the release of the BPEL Service on Grand Central we have enabled all these process entrepreneurs. The ability to create business services without requiring massive (any) infrastructure is changing the economics of the value chain. Optimizing the value chain has suddenly become possible without massive investment.

In the past to create business processes between organizations required massive investments in time, software and hardware. These barriers to creating business processes have now been removed, this means that every dollar invested in business process development goes to business process development rather than 90% to building the infrastructure and 10% to the process. Imagine a world where you can orchestrate your value chain without first having to build the plumbing - it is here!
