I'm from france, and I really would like to try Gravity, because this is for sure an excellent tool to be used in small and agile company ! The question for me is really to understand how small companies will be able to get this service and get their process in the cloud ? What is the plan ? Can we test ? Can we use ? Thanks for your feedback. Kind regards. Julien Hi there !

In my opinion, this is clearly the way business processes should be mapped out (at least at the high level), with instant collaboration, incredible ease-of-use and great look! I was particularly amazed of how "smart" the shape layout was and how quickly you can select the right shape. Google wave seems to be robust enough for collaborative BPM and I guess this leads the way to other collaborative visual management. Until today, I didn't know that SAP was that innovative and from now on, I will have a closer look about what you guys are doing. Regards, Thom I find gravity absolutely fantastic.

BUT I don't think it's as simple as either/or -- I think we need at least three levels that work together: (1) automatic discovery of process, by looking at what people are doing, (2) lightweight ways of allowing business people to "connect" parts of what they do with other parts of what they do, and (3) collaborative flowchart creation. E.g. a process could be created "on the fly", but the system would then look at what's happening, aggregate it across multiple peoples' inputs, and then propose that as a flowchart that could be validated, extended, checked for missing parts, etc.... The next version of Gravity includes more business-user oriented process flow, by connecting different widgets. I'll post it as soon as I can. Regards, Timo Max,
