“The Decision Model gives form, function and a tangible visual representation to business logic” – The Decision Model (von Halle & Goldberg)

In my last article, I talked about selecting a BPM tool while keeping in mind both the short and long term needs of an organization’s process needs. But as we are all aware, whether we acknowledge it or not, tactical views and immediate implementation needs take priority over strategic needs. People tend to overlook long term process needs while focusing on only the immediate process automation needs. Moreover, while focusing on tactical needs, organizations tend to overlook areas such as process ownership and governance, roles and responsibilities, Service levels, and standards that should be associated with any process initiatives. More importantly these need to be thought through prior to embarking on the BPM journey. A BPM Center of Excellence (COE) can help with all of these areas.

A SOA implementation roadmap can be long and the SOA infrastructure, like “plumbing”, can be hidden from the end user during construction. During our SOA implementation, we used an “Early SOA” approach, where we connected a “faucet” to the SOA infrastructure and helped users “tap into” the value of the SOA infrastructure being built. Most Enterprises have Data and Processes with location attributes. We leveraged the SOA Infrastructure to transform Enterprise Data and Processes into an Open Geo Visualization Standard like KML[1] or GML[2].

The glory days seem far behind as stock prices fall, retail sales plummet, budgets are cut and global markets struggle. Both businesses and government organizations are looking for ways to dramatically reduce costs, do more with less and basically just survive the economic storm.
Most companies are using what seems to be a logical approach – cut, cut, cut. Cut people, cut budgets, cut travel, switch to lower cost suppliers – anything that results in an immediate reduction to expenses.

Migrating to an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) is a bigger decision than many companies realize. It creates the opportunity for central management and access points for all the services available in the enterprise. When determining the need and the method for enabling an ESB for services, there are several important considerations. The ESB can act as a simple access point in terms of acting as a proxy to hosted web services; it can orchestrate calls to many web services through languages like BPEL, and it can also house the web service code itself.

BPMS Watch readers know I am a big fan of OMG’s Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) 2.0, which has passed its first approval hurdle and is now in the Finalization Task Force stage. A major reason is that for the first time, BPMN has standardized the schema for XML interchange of process models.

The power to abstract is fundamental to innovation. When ideas are scarce, a fresh viewpoint makes all the difference. Abstraction is also a hierarchical process, and that perfectly fits the needs of the innovator facing complex problems requiring system solutions. The Abstraction Ladder

Over the past decade, we have learned that the challenge of building service-oriented solutions is less about technology and more about solving real-world business problems. Enterprise architects realize that any solution must revolve around an organization’s business processes, IT infrastructure, policies, and standards, and it makes sense that many aspects of service design will revolve around those key areas.

In these tough times, even the most change-resistant organizations are re-examining whether past practice should continue to govern standard operating procedures. Government and airlines, for example, spring to mind. Last week, I saw further evidence of this in delivering a BPMN training class to one of the many Federal agencies involved in financial regulation. I was surprised to find that most in the class were experienced process modelers already. Many had prior BPMN experience, for some including BPMN-based BPM Suites.
