BPM Blueworks - in beta as part of LotusLive


Tags :


I ran across BPM Blueworks a while ago but didn't sit down to play with it until now.  It is built around Business Process Management and using collaboration to work with others, in an almost crowd-source way to get best practices and accelerate development.

Inside was quite the listing of experiences, broken down into smaller sections.  The disappointment was the emptiness of each topic.  It was asking for ratings on pages that had no content or had never been viewed before.  Everything I clicked in the Experience area was empty.  Quite disappointing.

I headed next to Collaborate and there was only a Blog link there.  The blog itself has many postings but I am not sure where the collaborate function fit in.  You could submit to collaborate but I am not sure where it went.

The Learn link had sections for podcasts ,papers, webcasts and demos.  I chose to view all content so I could get a feel for what was there.  I found some presentations and webcasts, all submitted by IBM.

I think they are trying to build a new area of the site, but there isn't much outside participation or growth yet.  I am not sure of the overall goal as the linking of collaboration, content and experience don't seem to flow.  They seem like separate silos in one site which doesn't work well for what you need.
