3. Business Process Management (BPM)
Software and strategy for
modeling, automating, managing and optimizing
business processes across
organizational divisions, systems and applications
Strategy
Goals
Policies
Compliance
BPM is a structured, coherent and consistent way of understanding, documenting, modeling, analyzing, executing, monitoring and optimizing business processes as well as associated resources leading to business improvement. The BPM lifecycle is iterative and does not follow a water fall model. BPM is a management practice, a business philosophy that provides for governance of a business process environment toward the goal of improving responsiveness and operational performance. It is a journey not a destination. Today's processes are increasingly complex, full of deeper interactions across systems and dependent on more collaborative activities between users. You need comprehensive, standards-based and easy to use solution for creating, deploying and managing composite business processes with content, automated and human workflow steps.

Manager
Implementation Strategy and Scope
Both products have similar architecture – a language independent process core supporting one or more languages
Process cores have mostly similar capabilities – changes needed are small
Sharing process core enables straight-forward integration with rest of the stack (management, etc.)
Primary work is in adding new constructs such as complex gateways (go-to)
Benefits
Unified management console with end-to-end visibility
Consistent and unified products drive TCO down
Automatically leverage innovations at the foundation (coherence etc.)
Integration with other component (BI etc.) manifest faster
Migration plan
BPEL and BPA process migrate automatically
XPDL processes migrate to BPMN; some underlying usages (such as scripting) may need to be manually resolved
BPM Studio
(with Business and IT view)
Standardize on a single enterprise grade BPM platform 11
