Business Transaction Management (BTM) Industry Portal

by doug on August 9, 2010

in BSM, BTM, Business Service Management, Business Transaction Management, OpTier

OpTier has kicked off a Business Transaction Management (BTM) industry portal today which hopes to serve as a clearing house for information on what BTM is, key industry vendors, analysts and typical use cases where BTM provides value.

From the press release:

–snip–

Visitors to the portal can expect to find:

— BTM Overview – A section dedicated to all things BTM in the enterprise, the evolution of the technology and the importance of managing the end-user’s experience.
— Use Cases – Examples from a variety of industries (banking, insurance, telecommunications) that are utilizing the power of BTM.
— News & Articles – Recent BTM industry coverage in the media.
— Analysts – An extensive overview and summary of industry analysis from firms including Forrester, Gartner and IDC who cover the BTM market with links to recent research and relevant reports.

–snip–

I’m excited about seeing how this develops and hopefully becomes truly vendor agnostic. For my perspectives on BTM, take a look here.
