Abstract:
Business Process Management (BPM) provides an opportunity to better visualise, control, monitor, automate, and optimise the core business processes within your business. However, it's often difficult to know which solutions will most benefit from the involvement of BPM, and where. To what extent should the processes be automated? In what layer of the architecture should composition be placed? When is that composition it a business process as opposed to integration logic? To what extent should integration points be decoupled from the process? We will look at the typical architecture and design points that crop up at the beginning of BPM initiatives, and understand how to place BPM capabilities correctly and find the sweet spot of the products involved.
