Business Process Modeling
BPM is very simple. It’s a set of methods, tools, and technologies used to design, enact, analyze, and control operational business processes; a process-centric approach for improving performance that combines information technologies with process methodologies.
The three dimensions of BPM:
The Architecture
BPM Technology: the catalyst
Process Modeling and Design
Integration
Composite Application Frameworks
Execution
Business Activity Monitoring
Control
BPM is very simple. It’s a set of methods, tools, and technologies used to design, enact, analyze, and control operational business processes; a process-centric approach for improving performance that combines information technologies with process methodologies.
The three dimensions of BPM:
- Business: the value dimension
- Process: the transformation dimension
- Process effectiveness
- Process transparence
- Process agility
- Management: the enabling dimension
Business architecture: the overall structure of the organization, designed to apply strategies that meet the goals and objectives of its customers and stakeholders.
Process architecture: the methods, practices, and procedures by which the people in the enterprise transform available resources and capital to add value for the customers and stakeholders.
Management architecture: how the actions and behaviors of people and systems, as well as the flow of information over time, are directed in exercising the processes to achieve the business goals.
make it possible for you to quickly and rigorously define processes that span value chains, and to orchestrate the roles and behaviors of all necessary people, systems, and other resources.
allows you to include any information system, control system, data source, or other technology into business processes. Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) makes it faster and easier than ever before. Nothing of value need be discarded; everything is reusable.
allow you to build and deploy fully-functional Web-based applications codelessly and almost instantly.
directly turns models into real-world action, orchestrating processes in real-time.
tracks process performance as it’s happening, monitoring many indicators, displaying key process metrics and trends, and predicting future behaviors.
allows you to respond to process events based on circumstances, such as rule changes, notifications, exceptions and escalations.
