Enterprise Architecture, BPM, SOA and Master Data Management (MDM)http://entarch.blogspot.com/2008/08/enterprise-architecture-bpm-soa-and.html Yogish Pai: One of the best practices for Enterprise Architecture teams to redo the enterprise road map on a periodic basis. It is typically reviewed and updated during the yearly budgeting cycle and my preference is to perform this activity every 18 months. The best practices (and the traditional approach) is to first document the as-is, next develop the target or future state (architecture) and finally develop a short term (6 months), mid term (12 months) and long term (18 months) road map. Preferable an actionable road map that ties back to the business initiatives.- Business Process Management - Service-Oriented Architecture - Enterprise Architecture - |

Business Process Modeling Notationhttp://www.s-ox.com/dsp_getNewsDetails.cfm?CID=2121 Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance Journal: MEGA International will extend its current support for the established Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) standard and incorporate the latest version in its MEGA Modeling Suite of business process and enterprise architecture modeling tools. Company executive Antoine Lonjon has played a leading, active role in the BPMN project, an Object Management Group (OMG) initiative. In December 2007, the OMG reached an important milestone in the standardization of process modeling. Along with the BPMN standard, the OMG’s task force on the BPDM Business Process Definition Metamodel (BPDM) project released a complete language that defines the semantics of process models. Business process modeling now has a robust foundation based on a standardized graphical notation and a common language that bridges the gaps between dozens of existing business process modeling languages, tools, platforms, and methodologies. The initiative also provides an XML schema to ensure standard interchanges between the various business process modeling tools on the market.- Business Process Management - |

Ten Tips for Effective Process ModelingBruce Silver in BPMS Watch, 30 January, 2008. The BPMN specification presents lots of technical definitions and rules, but it does not teach you how to create process models that are effective in their primary mission - maximizing shared understanding of the as-is or to-be process. To do process modeling effectively, you need to go beyond the spec and learn a basic methodology, best practices, and specific diagram patterns to use in common situations. That’s what we teach in our Process Modeling with BPMN course, available online at BPMEssentials.com in public classes at BPM Institute events. To illustrate the point, here are ten tips for effective modeling in BPMN.- Business Process Management - |

Component Business Models: Making Specialization Realhttp://www.informit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=443762&rl=1 By IBM Business Consulting Services. Mar 3, 2006. Putting specialization into practice with the right operating model requires executives to think differently, not only about the construct of the company but also about the inter-relationships of the assets they rely on to provide value to the marketplace. This article discusses CBM, component business models, and offers a proven approach to driving a specialized focus, both internally and externally.- Business Process Management - |

Event Processing (CEP) - The Role of Event Processing in Modern Businesshttp://www.ebizq.net/hot_topics/cep/features/8303.html?page=1 The Role of Event Processing in Modern Business. In eBizQ, 30 July 2007. By Dr. K. Mani Chandy, Simon Ramo Professor of Computer Science, California Institute of Technology and Roy Schulte, Vice President and Distinguished Analyst, Gartner, Inc. Almost everyone wants to have an adaptive enterprise, a company that runs faster and smarter because it has "situational awareness," can "sense-and-respond" to opportunities and threats, and can "track-and-trace" items as they go through their life cycles. What do these three capabilities have in common? They are all achieved through event processing.- Business Process Management - Enterprise Architecture - Service-Oriented Architecture - |

The awkward dance between BPM and SOAhttp://blogs.zdnet.com/service-oriented/?p=928 Joe McKendrick: Does business process management (BPM) need SOA to go forward? Does SOA need BPM to be relevant? Are they one in the same? Or are they completely different animals? Depending upon whom you read, BPM is either worlds apart from SOA, or the two are fused right down to the genetic level.- Business Process Management - Service-Oriented Architecture - |

Business process interoperabilityhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Business_process_interoperability Wikipedia: Business process interoperability (BPI) is a state that exists when a business process can meet a specific objective automatically utilizing essential human labor only. Typically, BPI is present when a process conforms to standards that enable it to achieve its objective regardless of ownership, location, make, version or design of the computer systems used. The main attraction of BPI is that a business process can start and finish at any point worldwide regardless of the types of hardware and software required to automate it. Because of its capacity to offload human "mind" labor, BPI is considered by many as the final stage in the evolution of business computing. BPI's twin criteria of specific objective and essential human labor are both subjective.- Business Process Management - Interoperability - |

On BPMNhttp://itredux.com/blog/2006/07/20/on-bpmn/ Over the past couple of years, the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) has established itself as the de-facto standard for process modeling. Nevertheless, an impedance mismatch exists between BPMN and BPEL, one of its target execution languages. What follows is the view of Assaf Arkin, Intalio CTO and co-author of the BPML and BPEL specifications, on this critical subject.- BPEL - Business Process Management - |

BPMN or EPC?https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/3974 Before you will get the positive effects of Business Process Management, like reduced costs, improved quality, and better productivity and so on, you have to describe and notice the business processes of a company. This isn’t as easy as it seemed to be. The description should be understandable, reusable and reduce the complexity of a process in a way that can be handled but without losing any information. How can you reach this ambitious goal? A simple answer: Use a model. But that’s not the end of the story. You will find a great amount of languages and notations to describe business processes, e.g. UML 2.0 Activity Diagram, EPC, BPMN, Petri-Nets, flow chart diagram and so on. In this Blog I want to draw your attention to two encouraging representatives in the area of business process modeling: EPC (Event-driven Process Chain) and BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation). After a short introduction in these two notations I will give you a recommendation or at least food for thought.- UML Tools - Business Process Management - |
