Well, considering the man himself (Joe) just left a comment stating "point well taken", I'll plan to stick with my earlier opinion.

A business process can be modeled using Business Process Modeling, be connected to a SOA using BPEL, be executed in a Business Process Management Suite, and be managed using Business Process Management. That's the point taken from reading the article for the third time. Maybe you should read it once more ...

Hi, point well taken. The issue of how deeply BPEL forms the "connective tissue" that moves SOA closer to BPM is worth further exploration and clarification. (How's that for another medical analogy along with Beats Per Minute?)

Ok. Yes BPEL != BPM

However, SOA + BPM is a killer combo. And if you can bridge services and processes using BPEL as the layer in between you are going to get the best of both worlds.

So yes, BPEL != BPM but SOA and BPM intersect at BPEL

Go back and re-read the interview.

Joe is the one to bring up BPEL, not the interviewer. My point here is that service orchestrations are not the same as business processes. Joe leads readers to believe they are one and the same.

From my view Joe is not comparing BPEL with BPM. He's just explaining "how SOA and BPM comes together at this point of time".
