BPS - A New Acronym for BPM?

OK, I saw this in a press release today on a ZDNet site...



"...Sterna Technologies was one of the few enterprise products to present at Demo 08. The company introduced its Business Positioning System (BPS), which is another name for Business Performance Management (BPM) or any other variety of acronym for dashboards the improve corporate performance..."

Well I sure have never heard the acronym BPS as (quote) "another name for BPM"

Imagine the confusion in the market when companies need to wrap their heads around BI/BPM/CPM/EPM and now BPS!

Why don't we just have a single standard? Is it that hard?

Lets see - who knows what ERP is? And what is CRM? -- aha! it is really not that hard to have a single acronym.

I put a challenge out there to all of you....what about a single understandable acronym?

Personally of course we like BPM -- I wonder why?

Happy 2008 y'all
