Overview
In order to move an organization into
SOA-enabled BPM, a number of strategic and planning activities
need to take place. BPM activities include understand and
mapping the current business processes, where necessary
re-designing and/or consolidating the business processes,
implementing the processes through a SOA-enabled BPM solution,
and finally monitoring and continuously optimizing the
performance of the process. SOA activities include internally
selling the benefits of SOA to business, developing a SOA
strategy and a roadmap for SOA adoption, developing a business
services catalog, and putting in place the appropriate
structures and processes in place for SOA governance.
Business Benefits
In addition to focusing on optimizing
for their business efficiency, forward-thinking executives
optimize their business for agility –ability to change the
capabilities of the company with its new strategic
initiatives. Given that the capabilities of an organization
reside in its processes and business policies or rules, which
in turn are embedded with its IT systems, it is very important
for the company’s IT systems to be flexible in order to enable
business flexibility or agility.
Business Process Management Software,
supported through a service-oriented architecture, enables
business agility, allowing a company to rapidly respond to
changing market conditions by changing and building business
processes and policies.
Given the above business benefits, it
is no surprise that companies are adopting SOA widely.
According to Gartner Research, Service-oriented architecture
(SOA) will be used in more than 50 percent of new
mission-critical operational applications and business
processes designed in 2007 and in more than 80 percent by
2010.
