ActiveVOS named to SD Times 100

Alex Neihaus — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 13:00:51 +0000

Active Endpoints has been named to the SD Times 100 list for 2009. Our press release announcing this honor is attached to this post.

This award validates the both the market acceptance of our ActiveVOS business process management system (BPMS) and the thought-leadership that Active Endpoints has achieved with its vision of a BPMS that development teams will love.

Instead of me going on and on about why we cherish this recognition, I’ll just quote Alan Zeichick’s take on what the award is and what it signals to development teams that are considering a BPMS:

Unlike other awards programs, we don’t benchmark application servers, or count defects in operating systems, or consider annual sales values, or ask companies to submit flattering essays about themselves and their customers. The SD Times 100, in fact, isn’t a product award or a marketing award.

Instead, we work hard to identify—and highlight—where the “buzz” is. What are development managers thinking about? What are the talking heads talking about? What are competitors sweating about? What is the industry focused on? That’s the SD Times 100.

Thank you, SD Times and also a big thank you to our customers, who have made our BPM system such a success.

Dana Gardner: “Talk about the benefits of CEP and business users eye light up”

Alex Neihaus — Fri, 01 May 2009 18:17:59 +0000

Dana Gardner has written an interesting post on it-director.com about the promise of complex event processing (CEP). In reference to us, he points out that we aren”t big on terminology. That’s because terminology isn’t what people buy…they buy products. We hope that what Dana has in mind is that by being first to completely integrate a CEP engine into a BPMS, ActiveVOS has made the terminology debate unnecessary. We sure think it has.

Learn more about CEP inside ActiveVOS and see why our users’ eyes are lighting up when they see what the combination of a truly flexible BPMS with integrated CEP can do for them.

We want to thank John and ADTmag.com for writing about the essence of what we’ve set out to do: change not just the way Java developers work on the next generation of SOA applications, but how they actually feel about doing so. That’s why we have the “messianic fervor” John writes about.
