What does this mean?
Well PROMIS are currently developing a tool that is set to become the market leader in Enterprise Architecture - EVA Netmodeler (which I am currently evaluating). With the incorporation of the BPTG 8 Omega framework into that tool it will increase the footprint of organisations into which the tool can go. The BPTG will benefit from having their framework supported in an industry leading tool. One item of note is that all BPTG members will get instant access to this through the EVA Netmodeler server which will be hosted by BPTG. This will increase collaboration and, presumably, decrease timelines
From a process point of view this now gives a 'Software as a Service' implementation of a change model applicable across all industries using an acknowledged industry-wide standard.
That has to be good, right?
