This week, we bid farewell to David Ogren, the originator of BPM-Blog, and we welcome Kiran Garimella, who will be "BPM-blogging" in the same location.

David, a BPM thought leader who has hung his hat with several enterprise technology vendors; with Sun, with Fuego, and most recently with BEA after its acquisition of Fuego, has decided to take a break from blogging. We very much look forward to hearing more of him and from him in the future. For posterity, we want to leave David's blogging archives in place.

But starting today, we welcome Kiran Garimella, a VP of webMethods, as a new blogger on ebizQ. Kiran has a flair for the dramatic, having recently published a novel about BPM, called The Power of Process: Unleashing the Source of Competitive Advantage.

You will see what I mean about a flair for the dramatic when you read Kiran's first entry in BPM-Blog.

Happy reading!
