- BPMN 2.0 from Visio Premium 2010I mentioned in a previous post I had created a tool that converts BPMN diagrams from Visio Premium 2010 to BPMN 2.0-compliant XML. It was an interesting project because Visio itself does not internally “understand” the structure of a BPMN model. Sure, it can test many of the rules in the BPMN spec, but that [...]
- BPMN Model InterchangeOn my summer vacation I’ve been thinking a lot about the XML side of BPMN. While we usually think of BPMN as a diagramming standard, it is also – in principle – a model interchange standard, an XML format than can be exported from tool A and imported into tool B.

“First class reading! A non-academic and very accessible language to bring BPMN’s complexity & best practices to the people, who should care about mastering their business processes. Stylish and fun to read.”
Personal note:
Congratulations! Not suprisingly great work. Though I was quite passive in the BPM community since 2008, I always followed your blogs and the development of BPMN with great interest. Now having changed my employee from ITpearls to IPT, a very successful and Gartner-alluded SOA consulting company in Switzerland, I use my knowledge to push the development of BPM compentence as a synergetic twin to SOA. Speaking load, I wished to get you as a speaker for our popular SOA forum in May 2010 (www.soa-forum.ch). Any chances? We should elaborate this mutual opportunity.
