When I came up with the name "Blog Bytes" I was attempting to make a play on “Sound Bites” suggesting that the content provided here would be short, concise, to the point.  The Bytes part was just my software background bias and an attempt to write something catchy.  All the same, having worked business process optimization for longer than I care to admit, I believe we are at a point in history where technology plays an incredibly powerful role.  Things I did 10 years ago that took more than a year to implement can be done in a couple of months these days with much greater impact.  As the ABPBP CBOK states: “BPM is both a management discipline and a set of technologies that supports managing by process.”  From my perspective, software is truly enabling, and will only play a bigger role as new technologies are developed and leveraged.
