"Achieving Process Excellence: Closing the Gap Between Process Analysis, Modelling and Process Orchestration"
It is now accepted that BPM requires SOA. But, there is still a disconnect between the processes modelled by business analysts and architects, and the modelling done by developers in the SOA-based BPM run-times. This session will explore mechanisms for closing the gap between the modelling that is done in process tools like ARIS or Visio and the executable models and services designed and implemented in BPM and ESB products like webMethods. Also discussed will be the mechanisms for closing the gap between SOA Architectures and the real run-time servers and their interdependencies.
The full lifecycle of processes and services will be examined. Strategies for governance will also be explored. This will cover enforcing IT architecture policies, aligning process views between process design tools and process and service creation tools, and using metrics to feed real data back into analytics and simulations to close the loop with the real world processes that have been put into production.
Key topics will include the importance of beginning with a service-oriented view when modelling processes, as well as the importance of lifecycle management, the importance of governance, and the critical role of a metrics-driven approach. This session will also discuss the importance of tying those metrics back into your process simulation for a real world input into your process improvement analysis. Also covered will be the importance of standards, with an overview of key standards that facilitate this alignment of SOA and BPM, including the impact of each standard.
