Are you using or planning to use BPEL?

  • Article

SOA Bitpipe has revived their BPEL poll.   The results are interesting:

  • Apparently 25% of those polled are currently using BPEL. Are these production systems or prototypes?  Given the state of the spec I'd be a bit leery about deploying BPEL in a production environment at this moment in time. 
  • 25% are planning to use BPEL in the next twelve months. This is a more realistic approach, given that we expect to publish a final version of the spec in 2006.
  • 19% have no plans to use BPEL. I would prefer to see a breakdown of abstract vs. executable BPEL adoption. I expect we'll see more adoptions of abstract BPEL, as others have already predicted.
  • 31% have no idea what BPEL is. This is disturbing. We've recently started work on the BPEL primer, drafts of which are likely to show up here (your feedback and flames are always welcome).

How are you planning or not planning to use BPEL? Go take the poll now.
