As you may be aware, I have been covering the business process analysis/modeling tool market for Gartner for a number of years. One major change I have seen is a renewed interest in both the areas of how data and metadata relate to BPM efforts. I'm currently working on a research note on the importance of master data management to BPM and service-oriented development. So, keep your eyes open to my blog for more on this subject shortly...

Long to no see. An answer to your question, I think in the short-term it will be the redesign of business processes to cut costs -and then as economics get better the follow-on business improvement projects to generate revenue - which will give IT the funding to re-invigorate IT in order to address the agility needs of the business. As per this blog thread, the role of the enterprise solution/application architect becomes critical from an IT perspective to make that happen. Also, I think master data management projects to help create reusable and assemblable data services (and resolve governance issue surrounding data) will be key to improved business agility as well. Keep those cards and letters coming! Hi Kurt! Long to no see.
