Open BPM: The Basis for Successful Enterprise Architecture & SOA Strategies

► Dr. Wolfram Jost - Board Member IDS Scheer AG
Leveraging the benefits of Service Oriented Architectures (SOA) is only possible if the supporting business processes are properly documented. This presentation explains how the concept of “Open BPM” enables business processes to be described independently of the underlying execution technology and analyzed in terms of performance. The Open BPM approach ensures that technology platforms from leading provides do not create new organizational silos.

10:30 - 11:15

Creating ‘One single point of the truth for Business, Risk, Finance, Compliance and IT’ using BPM

► Theo van den Hurk - Vice President Group Finance BPM Solutions
ABN Amro Bank, Netherland
Group Finance is responsible for major compliance driven projects (like Basel 2, SOX) and at the same time has the ambition to improve the efficiency and effectivity of the Finance function within the group. Besides this the businesses want to improve and change their business processes as well.
To enable projects to leverage each other as much as possible, BPM Solutions implemented a Business Process Management methodology that creates one Business Architecture enclosing the requirements from all the different viewpoints like Business and IT as well as Compliance, operational risk, Finance, Audit etc.
This comprehensive Business Architecture is the consistent bases for the implementation of SOA leveraging external industry best practices.

SOA + EA: Inseparably connected – SOA excellence with company-wide EA standards at United Motors Group

► Patrick Buech - Manager - IDS Scheer AG
► Konstantin Ivanov - Business Development Manager
Service-oriented architectures deliver greater IT flexibility thanks to modular, reusable services, which can be universally deployed through adherence to technology standards. Describing all such standards used in an organization as part of an EA project significantly speeds up SOA implementation. This report looks at the successful interplay of SOA and EA in an automotive company.

12:30 - 13:15

SAP Enterprise Modeling – the Basis for Successful Use of SAP NetWeaver

► Dominique Brzoska - Customer Advisor - SAP EMEA
SAP NetWeaver provides reference content and technologies for business process automation. However, knowing the “real-world” corporate processes is essential here in order to identify the appropriate reference content. Business Process Management is thus of crucial importance for achieving maximum benefit from SAP reference content across all phases of the software and process lifecycle.

SAP Enterprise Modeling offers tools for process analysis, process design, process implementation, and for optimizing processes. This ensures that optimized business processes underpin the organization’s actual value-creating activities.

13:15 - 14:30

Lunch Break

The catalog of the services as the mirror of the thesaurus of Business processes

► Bertrand Vanden Bossche – Business Information System Division,
SUEZ Environnement - CIRSEE
Process Mapping imposes a guideline for modelers but also leaves them the possiblity to adapt their model to business process reality.
SUEZ Environment experience has shown that the business modelization is largely facilitated and universally deployed when it is based on a previous definition of a business process repository. Thus the SOA objective becomes easier as each act can be linked to a service.
The difficulty is in the method that allows the thesaurus business acts. Some examples of the Suez Environment Groupe case studies will enable to align possible solutions

15:15 - 16:00

Business Service Management in the SAP Environment

► Serge Pouliquen - Consultant Solutions BSM - BMC Software
Business processes are the lifeblood of today’s corporations, but require reliable, efficient technology systems and hardware platforms to deliver real value. To ensure that business processes and IT systems are perfectly matched, business process models need to be synchronized with the supporting IT systems. IDS Scheer is teaming with BMC Software to offer a bi-directional interface that allows data to be exchanged between the ARIS repository and BMC’s Atrium CMDB, making it possible to evaluate the business impact of IT infrastructure both at the operational level and for planning purposes. The key advantage is that IT projects can be managed to support changing business requirements while also analyzing dependencies and mitigating risks.

Applying BSM solutions from BMC to an SAP landscape helps companies manage the largest and most complex application in their environment and maximize the return on investment.

16:00 - 16:30
