- 3. What is BPM? Business Process Management (or BPM) refers to a set of activities which organizations can perform to optimize their business processes or adapt them to new organizational needs.
- 4. BPM and SOA SOA is the backbone of BPM, but BPM 'orchestrates' SOA BPM provides the higher-level abstraction SOA allows services to be combined together

BPM is concerned with the: definition execution management of business processes BPM is a superset of workflow People + System Workflow = BPMS
- 6. Efficiency Improved speed and effectiveness Agility Quickly built and easily changed. Governance & Compliance Process logic is based on rules. Rules can be shared and reused Visibility Data aggregated from disparate business systems Performance metrics expose bottlenecks in real time. Why BPM?
- 7. Present Industry BPM Trends A recent survey of 473 enterprise buyers by the Yankee Group revealed that in the next 12 months, 75% plan on investing in the technology and staffing necessary to enable a service oriented architecture and BPM.
- 8. Leading BPM standards BPM Graphical Notation Standards Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) specification from BPMI. XML based BPM Execution Languages. OASIS group 's BPEL standard(Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL4WS) Business Process Modeling Language (BPML), from the Business Process Modeling Initiative (BPMI) organization.
- 9. Leading BPM standards cont.. Web Services Choreography Description Language (WS-CDL) The W3C's official XML choreography language
- 10. BPM Architecture BPEL process Definition
- 11. Notation and Graphical Tool BPMN is the preferred choice for our architecture because it is more expressive and has a mapping to BPEL. Graphical Tool used by Business Analyst should support Business View of process along with BPEL export option. Graphical Tool used by Technical Analyst should support Technical View of process.

- 15. Runtime Engine A BPM engine loads process definitions and runs instances called processes . The BPM engine is responsible for detecting events. Injecting them into the process Managing outbound message calls
- 16. Runtime Engine
- 17. Adapters The BPM architecture should aim to support the widest variety of system interfaces. A cleaner, more extensible approach is to provide built-in support for the typical process technologies.
- 18. Administration and Monitoring The main tool is a graphical console that lets system Administrators watch, tune, and perform management actions. The console uses (under the covers) a standard management API to converse with the running system. A BPM console should allow operators to manage BPM Managed objects.

- 21. Business Activity Monitoring Business activity monitoring (BAM) is an exalted form of process administration and monitoring. BAM is targeted at the business manager who requires a sophisticated dashboard with graphical views of process-related data updated in real time.
