Difficulties in realizing BPM & SOA – Issue #1

Modeling the whole enterprise is essential but very difficult(i.e., time-consuming, costly and complex):

Full business design (capturing processes and all that goes with the processes at the enterprise level) is difficult

Capturing (deciding/designing) the services that satisfy the designed business is difficult

Capturing (deciding/designing) the business objects – in a manner that is aligned across the enterprise, across the applications, across the locations – is difficult

Modeling the business context is required Integrating the business context model with the enterprise model is

required Modeling the “SLA” between business (processes) and realizing

services is required

10


Understanding and deploying the BPM/SOA enterprise-level development model (including the programming model) is difficult

Establishing governance to ensure one well-integrated Enterprise Development Life-Cycle is essential and difficult

Integrating the integration projects is necessary but difficult!

11


Mastering the required BPM/SOA tools & technologies is difficult: The tool-sets are “organically” grown and complex

Eliminating (rendering transparent) the base tools & technologies (like JEE) is difficult

Existing tools & techniques do not address business users

What if someone gave you...

Your core processes and all that goes with the processes, designed and tested also for re-use – in a manner that is aligned across the enterprise, across the applications, across the locations…

All the services that satisfy your processes (defined/designed and actually running) – in a manner that is aligned across the enterprise, across the applications, across the locations…

All the business objects needed – in a manner that is aligned across the enterprise, across the applications, across the locations…

Where you simply “install and run” these processes?

Where you can sustain them?(Adapt and still be able to update/upgrade them?)

Process Integration Packs (PIPs)

Let Oracle Pre-build Integrated Processes for You

Foundation Packs (FPs)

Build Yourself Using Oracle’s Prebuilt Architecture & Services

The objects, services, methodology and tools Oracle uses to develop process integration packs (PIPs)

Enables customers to develop their own integrations

Flows are defined by customer for application integration

Value: Oracle’s objects and services along with tools/reference architecture enable rapid integration development & orchestrations

Offers a pre-built integration between two or more applications

Pre-defined flow between two applications

Can be extended to suit requirements

Value: Since Oracle builds it, it is cheaper to deploy and maintain

Seriously reduced costs, complexity, time(1) :20% in implementation, 55% in upgrading, 50% in maintenance(2)

If R is the number of distinct roles (and not persons) in the organizational unit that do business-relevant work, the time to document the work-process is approximately

person-days. Note that this is a measure of the effort required.

Thus, assuming an organizational unit with 10 distict business-relevant roles, documenting the work-processes of the organizational unit will take about 28.3 person-weeks (appr. 7 person months pr. business unit).

If O is the number of business-value adding organizational units in the enterprise (i.e, otganizational units that contribute to business directly), the time to document only the high level business processes is approximately

person-days.

For an organization withapproximately 3000 employees and and an average organizational unit size of about 100 employees, the effort required to document all processes would then be minimum 21,57 person-years of effort.

Implications of the AIA FP: Next Generation Application Servers?

In AIA FP, we have effectively raised the level of abstraction that we’re dealing with in building applications: From “beans”, “server pages” etc. to

Business Processes

Enterprise Business Objects

Enterprise Business Services

Could this be the way to next generation Application Servers (Business Servers?) for designing, developing, deploying and maintaining next generation BPM/SOA compliant applications that support full Enterprise Development life cycle?

Next Generation Application Server Spec?

Oracle BPM/SOA Roadmap (Envisioned)

• Best-of-breed portfolio

• Supports existing best practices

• Customers leveraging today

““Today”Today”Already best, and

with an unprecedentedpotential

• AIA (BPM/SAO ref. app. arch.)

• AIA Foundation Pack (tool-box for developing AIA-compliant apps & systems)

• Standardized first-cut Business Objects & Business Services

• Model-driven

• Business-centric

““Tomorrow Now”Tomorrow Now”

Open…

• All ref. models of AIA FP are standardized

• AIA FP spec is opened as the spec for next generation app. servers (or business servers)

Complete…

• All AIA FP service definitions are implementable by all service vendors

Integrated!
