"The Next Generation of Business-Driven SOA: The Convergence of Performance-Driven Business and Service-Orientation"
Business today is focused ever more on performance and results. The global economic crisis has only served to accelerate this trend. Service-orientation is not just about architecture, it is about a culture that is aligned toward the internal customers of IT, the business lines and their management.
This session will provide a roadmap for moving IT into a model where you are providing maximum business value and meeting or exceeding service levels. It will show you a future where management can have continuously updated scorecards that prove the results you are delivering against their goals. Finally, it will show you how to leverage the flexibility of next generation SOA architectures and technologies by visually aligning service portfolios with business metrics. In the next generation of SOA, you will use scorecards to see at a glance: a complete view of your IT portfolio across the enterprise, a results-driven view of the business impact of services, visually assess impact of potential changes or new initiatives, visibility assess IT performance against SLAs, up-time, response time, STP rates, & other KPIs.
This session will provide a roadmap towards this new generation of performance-driven Service-orientation - Business-Driven SOA. With this next generation SOA, companies will no longer just talk about IT-Business Alignment, they will measure it. You will not only be better aligned towards the business, you will have proof.

"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.
