Aligning Business Process Architecture and Enterprise Architecture:

1. Aligning Business Process Architecture and Enterprise Architecture: A Model Driven - Service Oriented Approach Chris Capadouca Business Solutions Architect

2. Model Manage Enable Repositories Monitor Adaptive Business Process Management Narrow the business-IS Gap Model and simulate cross functional business processes Manage and improve the processes using process metrics Process visibility and exception based interaction Qualitative & Quantitative Feedback Enable & integratehuman and system based business process Reduction in Cycle Time Monitor end-to-end business processes in real-time Adaptability

3. Model Manage Enable System B System C System A Monitor What are the Challenges? • Challenge • Evolve from siloed functional design and build to a cross functional process focus approach • Challenge • Enable end-to-end monitoring and correlation • Structure around cross functional ownership Process A Process A Process B Process B • Challenge • Enable workflow to cross system boundaries rather than be bound to them • Challenge • Enable visibility to cross functional KPIs, business events, and process states

4. Historical Perspective • Lack of Alignment • IT centric • Siloed initiatives • Lack Cross-functional process owners • Enterprise Optimization focus is in the wrong place • We get lost in the details

5. What should the future look like? • Enterprise Architecture is about Business Transformation • Process Modeling is a component of Enterprise Architecture • Cross-functional optimization is the focus • Cross-functional process ownership is obvious and rewarded

6. What should the future look like? • Strategic Visioning “involves defining the context, identifying strategic drivers, developing a high level business model, establishing principles for the new work system, and packaging for commitment and action.” • “As part of this visioning exercise, key questions for work reengineering need to be explored: What is your business value network? What are the key functions (logical service units) that are closest to delivering value to the customer?” • “Any functional component or service unit can be decomposed into a number of interrelated processes and work activities.” • “Each logical service unit can be modeled to determine the most appropriate business processes and related manual and automated work activities” Excerpts from Paradigm Shift: The New Promise of Information Technology, by Art Caston and Don Tapscott, McGraw-Hill 1993

7. Why spend the time? Why align Business, IT and Process Architecture? Its about the integrated plan ……..just ask Sarah Winchester Fact: Mrs. Winchester never had a master set of blueprints, but did sketch out individual rooms on paper and even tablecloths!

8. How do we get there? • Stop viewing Enterprise Architecture as an IT thing! • Create a high level reference framework • Identify & define what we do and the services we provide • Identify & define how we realize the business services • Identify & define how we provide services and who owns them • Publish the plan!

9. What are the Enablers? • Business Buy-in and ownership • Model Driven Architecture • Describes the enterprise as a set of related models • Enterprise Service Architecture • The business services that need to exist • The services they provide • The capabilities that realize them • It’s not just about the technology • Event Driven Architecture • Describes the enterprise interactions in terms of related events that trigger services Yes, these are complementary!

13. Service Oriented Architecture • “An approach for designing and implementing distributed systems, • that allows a tight correlation between the business model and the IT implementation” Bill Hassell - IBM’s Business Integration Reference Architecture, 2004

14. Enterprise Services Architecture • An approach for designing and implementing capabilities that realize and leverage services, • that allows a tight correlation between the business model and the physical implementation • Business Perspective • What Services need to exist? • What information do we need? • What Capabilities provide Services? • What Processes realize a Service? • Implementation Perspective • What is the process flow? • What is the information flow? • What composite application functionality realizes as process?
