Integration with the E2E Bridge |
|
The E2E
Bridge is a revolutionary new way to do system and process
integration. In a nutshell, it is a UML virtual machine that allows
you to model UML for your integration and composite application
designs and directly deploy them to a server with no real coding
needed! The entire technology is Model-Driven. This effectively
reduces the concept to implementation time of all your integration
points through a set of standard notation. The thing is self coding
and documenting since you have already done the design in the same
lingo
This article gives you a further insight into this product from an
experienced consultants point of view.

Versioning ARIS 7.1 |
|
The
release of ARIS 7.1 has brought several features of interest. One
of the new features introduced is the concept of versioning. This
new functionality of ARIS enables you to;
set up version control for individual models or the content of
entire groups.
compare versioned models with one another or with current models.
To make best use of this functionality an approach is needed that
can be incorporated appropriately within the existing standards and
conventions in an organisation. In addition appropriate governance
and control of versioning is an important aspect that will ensure
its use has the most beneficial outcome for an organization.

Personalise Your ProcessDays Program |
|
What are
you doing on the 3-6 August this year? Have you penciled these
dates in your calendar for ProcessDays 2009 already? Or cant you
commit to a full four days out of the office?
We have created this years program with the time poor in mind. The
ProcessDays program allows each delegate to create an individual
program personalised for content and available time. ProcessDays is
much more than just a conference. Its a series of BPM education and
networking events. You can attend as many, or as few, as you
choose.
There are three streams in the first two days. Foundational Classes
run all day. BPM Master Classes and Product Master Classes are
conducted each morning and afternoon.
The third and fourth days are the ProcessDays Conference. Over
these days we will have nine sessions for a total of 16 hours. Most
sessions are two hours long and contain a mix of presentations,
discussions, case studies and group work. Throughout the Conference
days the vendor exhibition will also be open.
The Conference sessions start early and finish late giving
delegates the opportunity to attend before and after work if the
full day is not available.
With more case studies, more flexibility, more topics, new formats,
new speakers and a great venue, ProcessDays 2009 is an event not to
be missed.
Start planning your 2009 ProcessDays program now. Mark the dates in
your calendar. Registration will be available in mid March.

Share ideas on the Business Process View of
Organisations |
|
In the
business of BPM we are often trying to change minds to the process
view. This can be difficult; sometimes impossible. One approach
that you might consider is to model the mindsets. What are the key
players really thinking? What is their current management approach?
Which of the process messages are they most likely to find
attractive? What mindsets do they need to have individually and
collectively to achieve high(er) levels of BPM maturity? What do we
need to do to close the gap from current to target mindset?
To comment and discuss modeling the mindsets with Roger Tregear

Business Process Management Frameworks by Prof.
Thomas Gulledge |
|
In this
document we will discuss BPM terms and concepts in detail to
understand how Business Process Management Frameworks (BPMFs) are
used in complex organisations. We delineate the differences between
Business BPM versus Technical BPM, so we can precisely define
terminology that is often misinterpreted in discussions between
managers and technologies. We also describe the key benefits of
executing BPM from a framework. Lastly, we discuss a case study
where a BPMF was developed and how it was used to measure success.

SOA Roadmap - Its a Start Anyway |

The
SOAInstitute.org has published its first newsletter with an
interesting article suggesting a SOA roadmap (article in link
below). As rightly stated in the newsletter SOA is not journey and
is not a project.
To comment and discuss with Mervin Chiang the daily challenges of
aligning business and IT thinking about this topic of SOA visit his
