9. OMG and BE • SOA-C is about capturing business processes and governing the extension of existing processes to new capabilities • BPM-C is about optimizing existing processes, finding opportunities for reuse and focusing efforts on business targets • GCIO is about finding economies in processes throughout the business that can minimize resource usage without downgrading value or efficiency • OMG standards are about amortizing costs over a larger marketplace, minimize systems interoperability and portability costs to give the business flexibility and agility

10. What is an Actionable Architecture • Actionable Architecture: • Output of business process analysis • Includes decisions that maximize value and minimize waste • Examples: • Creation, automation or termination of a business process • Movement of an automated process to the public cloud, private cloud, or in-house computing utility • Initiating governance of a process -- computing-related or not -- to lean and/or green that process • Identification of opportunities to minimize waste (of people, computing resources, electricity, water, paper, etc.) • Reuse of existing processes in new ways to support a new business capability
