Achieving Enterprise Process Agility Through BPM and SOA

Achieving Enterprise Process Agility Through BPM and SOA -

Achieving Enterprise Process Agility Through BPM and SOA
Razmik Abnous, Chief Architect, Content Management EMC

Hear Razmik Abnous, Chief Architect, Content Management EMC, discuss creating streamlined and repeatable business processes.

BPM enables organizations to design, automate, monitor and actively control their process assets.

Addressing and resolving these business challenges calls for streamline, repeatable business processes, architected value chains and automated services-to achieve real 'enterprise process agility'.

This makes business processes easier to maintain and modify. In many cases, modifications can be made with little or no disruption at the business level. IT departments, therefore, can shift their focus from maintaining monolithic applications and their fragile integrations.

Using a process-modeling tool, the designer adds integration with external systems and services. Agility then becomes defined as the ability to deliberate and draw conclusions rapidly.
