BPM Suite Introduction


What tools do you actually get?

An add-on to JDeveloper called BPM Studio

Requires SOA Composite Editor

A web based tool called Business Process Composer

BPM Suite Introduction


HOW DO YOU USE BPM?


Two main workflows are suggested

With Templates

Without Templates

Using BPM Suite


A developer will use BPM Studio and create a template

This template is placed into the the design-time MDS

A process analyst will use these templates and develop

the specific process

After the process is ready it can be deployed to the

runtime

Using BPM Suite – With Templates


A process analyst creates the overall flow

The developer checks out the project from the design-

time MDS and does the final implementation details

Deploy the finalized process to the runtime

Using BPM Suite – Without Templates

BPM Use Cases


Maersk Line

“This is partly by choice, and partly down to the fact that a

programme to deliver an appropriate enterprise-wide IT

integration infrastructure foundation was only started at the same

time as the BPM programme.”

Aging Infrastructure and an overstrained business application

Vastly Distributed – 350 Offices


BPM Use Cases


Maersk Line – Results and Recommendations

10-15% Efficiency Increase

“No matter what the focus of your BPM project is, deliver

something within 90 days or so”

“… ensure that business and technology resources on projects

are all co-located – this will pay off in terms of time-to-delivery,

the quality of the output …”

BPM Use Cases


Swiss Bank

Long time user of BPM not the Suite, part of the ARIS

community since 2001

“[Current Solution] optimized to deliver the highest …where

there are medium-level volumes of repeatable work being done

… it’s less likely to be applicable in very high-volume

environments…”


BPM Use Cases


A Swiss Bank (Unnamed)

No efficiency improvements mentioned, but better visibility into the

processes (metrics)

“Firstly, creating a BPM-friendly culture and spirit in your company takes

time – it can’t be forced on a company by an autocratic leadership style.”

“Secondly, work hard to deliver ‘quick wins’ and talk about them as much

as you can.”

Some of the premier functionality commonly associated

with BPM are the human task and business rules

However, these are supported through a SOA Suite

license.

Current Oracle SOA Suite Implementers


Some customers have gone through the licensing

process, paid for BPM and simply not used it.
