2 Business World Orchestration and Choreography Orchestration An executable business process describing a flow from the perspective and under control of a single endpoint (commonly: Workflow) Choreography The observable public exchange of messages, rules of interaction and agreements between two or more business process endpoints

3 Orchestration and Choreography (Business Case) Business View Sample Purchase Order Purchase Order Request Business A Purchase Order Acknowledgement Business B Purchase Order Response

4 From a Choreography Perspective Business View Business A Send PO PO Request Business B Receive PO Receive PO Ack PO Acknowledgement Send PO Ack Receive PO Response PO Response Send PO Response Choreography The observable public exchange of messages

5 From an Orchestration Perspective Business View Private Process Business A BPEL Workflow From ERP Transform Send PO PO Request Receive PO Ack PO Acknowledgement To ERP Transform Receive PO Response PO Response Orchestration A private executable business process

6 Orchestration and Choreography Together Business View Generate BPEL Template Business Analyst Tool Business A Business B Generate BPEL Template Business A BPEL Workflow Transform Send PO Receive PO Ack PO Request PO Acknowledgement Business B BPEL Workflow Receive PO Send PO Ack Transform Transform Receive PO Response PO Response Send PO Response Transform Two BPEL workflow templates reflecting a business agreement

7 Foundation For Process Improvement Initiatives Model business functions and processes Transform applications, processes and data Integrate islands of applications, processes and information Interact with resources anytime, anywhere with any device Manage performance against business objectives Accelerate the implementation of intelligent processes Model Manage Transform Interact Integrate Accelerate

8 IBM Business Process Management Imagine that you could Describe a process, graphically model it Simulate the operations and make iterative changes to optimize results then rapidly deploy the process by Drawing relationships between data, people, systems and partners, identifying key business indicators and testing your process and make sure that it runs as expected and, once in production, Model Watch your processes running in real time Quickly respond to alerts Make real-time decisions about process operations Manage Interact Transform Integrate Collect, analyze and compare operational performance against the simulation Accelerate you can, today, with IBM WebSphere Business Integration!

10 The Business Process is the Common Denominator Model As-Is Analyze As-Is To-Be Process Model Import Process Model MODEL Business Process Modeling Corrective Action Business Measure- ments WebSphere Business Integration Server Monitor Automated Process I N T E G R A T E Business Process Optimization is THE #1 priority in Information Week Study 2Q business-technology executives MANAGE Business Performance Management Business Activity Monitoring

11 WBI Modeler: Business Value Identify and correct process weaknesses Determine where value is generated Understand how departments interact with one another Define the roles and responsibilities of individuals in the business Compare processes to industry standards Set measurable goals for the future Adapt dynamically to competitive pressures and marketplace changes

12 Model Business Functions and Processes Bridge the gap between Line of Business (LOB) and IT organizations Multiple modeling approaches and methodologies: LOB and IT process views Support Six Sigma, Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPPA Line of Visibility LOVm, Swim Lanes Generate projected Return on Investment (ROI) Establish key business measures (e.g., KPIs) to be monitored Deliver a fast start to process deployment by generating code directly from model

13 Simulate and Optimize Business Process Models Simulates dynamic behavior of processes, permitting analysis of workloads, resource utilization and bottlenecks Quickly conduct what-if analysis to optimize processes and estimate business benefits (e.g., ROI) prior to implementation Deliver flexible, agile business processes optimized to business goals Simulation warm-up Steady State simulation Sophisticated modeling and distribution for resources, cost, revenue and processing time Detailed resource utilization levels, as well as cost and cycle time calculations

14 Comprehensive Reporting and Business Analysis Generate reports that summarize different aspects of your business processes, using a variety of predefined report templates: Standard reports based on templates User defined reports (Report Designer) Reporting functions automatically create written, numerical and graphical information Reports provide valuable guidance in process analysis and redesign: Process Summary Report Process Comparison Report Process Redesign Report Procedure Report Provides return on investment (ROI) comparisons of As-Is and To-Be models

15 Static and Dynamic Analysis Resource, Organization & Analysis: extract information on resource and organization models Aggregated Analysis: Based on execution of tasks (average revenue, execution cost, idle cost, allocated resource cost, total cost, and profit) Process Instance Analysis: Based on individual process instances (resources allocated per task instance, allocation duration, shortage, and cost) Comparison Analysis: Compare the weighted average analysis results for two simulated processes
