Work No Longer a Place but an Activity

Technology such as broadband, and WiFi are becoming more and more common place. People can (and I believe may one day be required) to work at home. Here's a small clip from the story: 'According to a recent AT&T survey conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), 80% of companies worldwide expect to have employees who telework by 2005, up from 54% in 2003. The International Telework Association & Council (ITAC) recently reported the number of home-based teleworkers in the US grew 63.2% between 1999 and 2003.

This trend should fuel a lot of research and demand for software improving communication and collaboration.

Light BMP Engine for MSFT

Based on presentations that i have hear at MSFT conference it looks like they really do not have the BPM engine. However, some of them believe that the BMP should really replace application server.

The idea is to build a light weight application server/bmp engine and sell it to MSFT.

Another part of this idea is the ability to provide very tight integration with Office. Actually to make the Office UI for most tasks.
