IBM Blueworks Live goes live Nov 20th


Tags :



IBM Blueprint is launching into the next evolution of the software with Blueworks Live.  A web based solution for collaboration in process improvement.  It includes discovery, mapping, documentation and analysis.

Blueprint's ease-of-use, browser-based delivery and wiki-like structure have changed this and allow stakeholders inside and outside your organization as well as across functions, campuses and even oceans to collaboratively participate in process improvement. Blueprint takes the practice of process from the hands of the few and spreads it throughout your organization. In effect, the Blueprint platform becomes the central communication platform for collecting, sharing and improving how work gets done in your organization.


IBM is launching a free (limited) version as well as a paid professional version.  The paid version adds a bunch more functionality such as:
Collaboration with Multiple Users
  • Process Sharing
  • Unlimited Maps & Diagrams
  • Visio Import
  • Templates
  • Printing & Exporting
  • File Attachments
  • Email Notifications
  • Integration with WLE

The addition of Visio import is cool if the online software is just as powerful.  I walked through thr account creation process and it was as easy as filling out 5 lines and then I had a full 30 day trial.  After the 30 days I could pay for pro or keep using the free version (I will see how this works in 30 days).
