Integrating and enhancing existing systems and processes was the most frequently cited technology priority. Business process management (BPM) renders to businesses the much needed visibility into enterprise wide processes, agility to adapt swiftly, and capability for continuous process improvement and optimization. Banks, investment management firms and brokerages can achieve significant cost efficiencies by leveraging BPM to streamline and integrate front, middle, and back office trade processes. An even greater benefit exists in the area of customer lifecycle management where BPM can be used to improve customer account opening and servicing processes, integrate multiple channels seamlessly, and enhance service levels. The same can be said for risk and compliance operations. While the benefits of BPM are well documented, the capital markets industry specifically has been slow to adopt process management. Most of the technology spend over the past decade was dedicated to data integration between the myriad of front to middle to back office applications with the intent of enabling STP and improving trade lifecycle operations. Process integration took a back seat because of technological limitations and lack of an enterprise focus In the wake of the current financial crisis and meltdown of global capital markets, financial institutions are facing challenges such as margin pressures, post-merger integration, growing customer demand for better services, and increasing regulatory scrutiny and compliance obligations. Business transformation and innovation are therefore imperative for firms to meet such challenges and processes being at the core of all the operations, underpin the efficiencies and effectiveness of the business. BPM + SOA = Success Success with enterprise BPM initiatives however requires that BPM initiatives are aligned with enterprise architecture initiatives and that there is no gap between business strategy and IT implementation. A BPM Lifecycle Assessment Survey conducted by Oracle revealed that companies combining BPM and SOA are able to achieve better execution, greater reuse, and provide better control over business processes than with BPM alone. As a key consumer of business services, BPM helps justify and fund SOA 1
investments. SOA, in return, enables BPM to scale quickly and effectively. Although you can implement BPM without SOA, using prebuilt, reusable services reduces the time and costs associated with system integration. SOA insulates BPM from having to know about the details of the underlying systems while BPM provides a higher level of abstraction for defining, monitoring and managing business processes.
