BaanDEM Overview
Contents • Business Process Management – Conceptual Overview • DEM in iBaan ERP 5.0c
Embodied or Explicit • Processes are Embodied • In IT systems • In minds of employees • In guidelines and manuals • Processes Should be Modeled Explicit • To apply and standardize best-practices • To excel in performance and standardization • To share knowledge and enable training ‘on the job’
Gartner Quotes Enterprises can no longer rely on the acquired wisdom and informal knowledge of “how things are done around here” – such knowledge is not always available as organizations restructure to maintain a competitive cost-base, and such approaches are typically to slow to adapt to accelerating change pressures from external forces As enterprises participate increasingly in e-business and e-commerce activities, their processes become exposed as never before and the need to be explicit in managing these external interactions becomes paramount Source: Gartner, 2000
Processes Must be… • Understood and discovered • Modeled • Simulated in most cases • Executed • Managed • Monitored • Adapted • Shared Source: Gartner, 2000
Process Automation Spectrum KM Demands Ad hoc Demands Production Workflow Demands Hybrid Automation Demands Zero Latency Demands • Work Management Reigns • Collaborative • Human-focused • Process guides • Dynamic/adaptive • Knowledge-focused • Flexible • Process Automation Reigns • Structured • Process performers • Zero latency focused • Deterministic • Process-focused • Rigid Source: Gartner, 2000
Process Design Drivers • Business-Competition-Driven • Sales channels • Rent • Packages • Templates • Models • Business-Vision-Driven • Value chains • Bidding • Scenario-based • Collaboration Ultimate Business Application • Infrastructure-Driven • EAI • Objects/ components • Advanced tech • Tech vendors • Templates • Models • Legacy-Driven • Re-use of workflows • Rules • Data • Transactions • Processes Source: Gartner, 2001
New Drivers for BPM • Agility and adaptability of business processes according to changes in environment • Improvement of processes to minimize throughput times and optimize resource usage • Supply-chain covering processes, including web-based and legacy applications (EAI) • Knowledge management components related to processes • Collaborative authoring of models, crossing department and country borders Source: Gartner, 2001
Core Benefits of BPM • “How tasks and processes fit together” • “How to gain access to the proper information for a task” • “Who is available or qualified to perform a task (roles)” Source: Gartner, 2001

DEM in iBaan ERP 5.0c • DEM – Dynamic Enterprise Management • The Product Suite • Dynamic Enterprise Modeling tool • Enterprise Modeler Editor
iBaan DEM Mission iBaan DEM tool supports the selection phase, enables a quick implementation process,controls the execution and allows optimizations of business processes
Modeling The Enterprise • Modeling on Multiple Levels • Enterprise Multi-site Structure • Enterprise Business Cases (Customer Order -> Delivery) • Enterprise Business Processes • Enterprise Organizational Structure • Enterprise Data Model • And… All the Relationships between these Models • And… The Models Drive the Implementation and Execution
Enterprise Multi-site Structure Specification of: Database, Currency etc. Specification of: Invoicing Method, Currency et.c
Business Benefits Ent. Struct.Model • Intuitive and Transparant Overview of Multi-site Setup • One place to define Application behavior across multiple sites • Enables top-down approach of Modeling from High to Low levels (drill-down capability)
Enterprise Business Cases Cross Functional Flow External Agent Business Function with Underlying Process
Business Benefits of Bus. Case Modeling • Gives insight in business critical processes and allows scoping of (incremental) optimizations • Enables discussion / evaluation by providing one common model language • Shows relationship between detailed processes (e.g. how sales processes relates to warehousing processes)
Enterprise Business Process • Activity can be: • Invoke Application • Invoke SubProcess • Manual • Trigger Other Process Activity to be Carried out by End-User Decision Point Work Instruction Petrinet Conventions Compliant
Business Benefits of Process Modeling • Enables discussion / review by Process Owners about how processes can be optimized by providing common process language and infrastructure to share processes • Process not only picture – but drives implementation and execution • Gives end-user insight in process as a whole, rather than only the fragmented tasks that employee need to perform • Excellent starting point for end-user training • Allows adding all sorts of (ISO) documents and other material to the end-user
Enterprise Organizational Structure • Specification of Roles for Process / Activity Authorization Purposes • Specification of Employees that Fullfill the Roles
Business Benefits of Organizational Structure Model • Allows precise and transparant role definition with corresponding authorizations • Drives the generation of User Desktops • Allows efficient maintenance of user authorizations, by decoupling authorizations and employees

Business Benefits of Data Model • Provides insight in data structure of iBaan application • Extremely valuable in customization projects
Generated End-User Interface Directly Invokes Application • Dynamically Build on Process and Role Definitions • Thick Client Worktop • Thin Client Webtop
Business Benefits Worktop • Dynamically driven by actual process definition • Alert end-users for new and changed processes • Integrates iBaan and non-iBaan applications in one process tree and flow (graphical and non-graphical) • Make end-user aware of process as a whole, rather than only the fragmented tasks
