Business Processes: The Basis for Linking BPM and SOA – Dr. Wolfram Jost, IDS-Scheer VP
ARIS ProcessWorld 2007 Day 2 opened with, so far, the best presentation of the conference, something that would resonate with both Business and IT leaders wanting to understand where BPM fits in the enterprise and also the roadmap for ARIS through 2007.

Some notes...
Process of Process Management: Process Strategy, Design, Implementation, Controlling.
Business Business Process Management: Confusing? Yes. Differentiation from Technical BPM (the implementation platform). This is the same with any process, there is a process definition and an implementation of it.
ARIS Value Engineering – Pre-packaged solution: EA, Process-driven SAP, Governance, Enterprise BPM.
Software Architecture Are Changing – Recent history, including Enterprise Services, the current state.
BPM, Management Discipline: Continuous improvement in productivity and innovation.
and SOA, Architectural Style: Support changes in productivity and innovation with increased flexibility.
BPChange Events: New Processes, Departments, KPI’s, Process Flows, Business Functions, Responsibilities. This is a good set of events that would initiate events in a BPM discipline.
Granularity of Business Services (slide): Excellent example of a decomposition that business people might be able to understand and begin to adapt to their own processes.
ARIS SOA Designer – Supporting the Business Service Definition and Design (Modeling) function.
SOA Objectives: Flexible IT systems, Flexible Business Processes, Biz-IT Alignment, Revenue / Profit growth.
The Big Picture (slide)
Organizations are moving toward process-orientation, so the software vendors are also. If the organization doesn’t change, you will have trouble implementing the vendor processes (or will do so in a functional silo way).
Visibility of ARIS PPM (slide): To really model As-Is, you should use something that automatically generates it from the actual execution of the process (like ARIS PPM).
ARIS Roadmap 2007 (slide).
