Boinodiris and her team are based out of IBM's WebSphere software group, so the new game will also be a marketing tool for IBM's SOA stack. But she was quick to point out that the new game will not be a training simulator for IBM's WebSphere Business modeler. “It's not a game that could show you how to use the modeler. It shows you the power of it,” she said.

Serious business
IBM wasn't the only company outside of the video games industry selling its software to the gamers. The game world has awakened to popular development tools, such as DevTrack, Electric Cloud and Perforce, all of which had booths at the show. Versant was also at the event to hawk its databases and services to massively multiplayer game companies.

Many of the talks at the show were in sync with these enterprise companies. Talks included “Data Architecture and Asset Management for Scalable Asset Production Workflows and Pipelines,” “Security and Privacy in Games," and “Stretching Beyond Entertainment: The Role of Games in Personal and Social Change.”

I'm looking forward to try out Innov8. We share this mission. We recently published a book to communicate the value of BPM beyond the classrooms. It's a scientific novel that introduces the reader to BPMN as the modeling language while showing the application (and the value) in a context at the same time. Check out http://bpmn-book.com
