Bridging the Gap Business Process Software - Talend Building a Better Business Management Process, the Open Source Way For organizations aiming to improve their business management process performance, business process software can be an invaluable tool. Business process management (BPM) applications help companies analyze their current processes, frame and evaluate alternatives, automate processes that would benefit from automation, and monitor ongoing performance. Despite the widely recognized value of BPM software as driver of business management process performance, many organizations have yet to capitalize on this technology, put off by the exorbitant costs of BPM solutions from the few major proprietary vendors. Business Management Process Improvement Begins Today Talend is the world's leading provider of open source data integration and application integration solutions. A Powerful, Dependable Business Management Process Solution Comprehensive BPM functionality.
e-Workflow - Workflow Standards and Research ArchiMate Insurance claim process depicted in ArchiMate. Archimate enables modelling in different layers. ArchiMate (/ˈɑr.kɪmeɪt/ AR-ki-mayt) is an open and independent enterprise architecture modeling language to support the description, analysis and visualization of architecture within and across business domains[1] in an unambiguous way. ArchiMate is a technical standard from The Open Group and is based on the concepts of the IEEE 1471 standard. ArchiMate distinguishes itself from other languages such as Unified Modeling Language (UML) and Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) by its enterprise modelling scope.[3] Overview[edit] ArchiMate offers a common language for describing the construction and operation of business processes, organizational structures, information flows, IT systems, and technical infrastructure. An architecture framework is used to structure the concepts and relationships of the ArchiMate language. History[edit] ArchiMate is partly based on the IEEE 1471 standard.
jBPM - Open Source Business Process Management - Process engine Welcome to XPDL.org ISO/IEC 42010 ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 Systems and software engineering — Architecture description is an international standard for architecture descriptions of systems and software. Overview[edit] ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010:2011 defines requirements on the description of system, software and enterprise architectures. Following its predecessor, IEEE Std 1471, the standard makes a strict distinction between Architectures and Architecture Descriptions. The description of ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 in this article is based upon the standard published in 2011.[1] Terminology[edit] ISO/IEC 42010 defines a number of terms: Conceptual Foundations[edit] ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 has a conceptual model that underpins the standardisation requirements. The ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 conceptual model utilizes the following concepts: Conceptual Model - Architecture Description[edit] In the ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 conceptual model an architecture description: Conceptual Model - Architecture View[edit] In the ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010 conceptual model an architecture view:
BPMN Workflow Engine Resources - Workflow Management Coalition Interoperability Wf-XML Binding Version 1.1 FINAL (read press release) Document Number WFMC-TC-1023 (Zipped WinWord 629k) Document Number WFMC-TC-1023 (PDF Format 211K) The XML language described herein, Wf-XML, can be used to implement the three models of interoperability defined in the Interoperability Abstract specification. Specifically, chained workflows, nested workflows and parallel-synchronized workflows are supported. Wf-XML supports these three types of interchanges both synchronously and asynchronously, and allows messages to be exchanged individually or in batch operations. This document represents a specification for a language based on the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) designed to model the data transfer requirements set forth in the Workflow Management Coalition (WfMC)’s Interoperability Abstract specification. This version (1.1) of the Wf-XML specification is fully backward compatible with its previous version (1.0).
Event-driven architecture Building applications and systems around an event-driven architecture allows these applications and systems to be constructed in a manner that facilitates more responsiveness, because event-driven systems are, by design, more normalized to unpredictable and asynchronous environments.[2] Event-driven architecture can complement service-oriented architecture (SOA) because services can be activated by triggers fired on incoming events.[2][3] This paradigm is particularly useful whenever the sink does not provide any self-contained executive[clarify]. SOA 2.0 evolves the implications SOA and EDA architectures provide to a richer, more robust level by leveraging previously unknown causal relationships to form a new event pattern.[vague] This new business intelligence pattern triggers further autonomous human or automated processing that adds exponential value to the enterprise by injecting value-added information into the recognized pattern which could not have been achieved previously.
10+ Free Open Source BPM Platforms People have always created and modified business processes, but until business process management (BPM) tools became available it was often an informal and fairly ad-hoc procedure. There is nothing particularly complex about BPM, despite the unnecessarily elaborate terminology. In essence it provides a language for people to design, analyse, build, modify and discuss business processes. And it also creates a bridge between the process and systems used to implement it – assuming technology is a factor, as it nearly always is. The business process management cycle starts with analysis and design – as do all creative projects. If a business process is to be more than just a diagram it needs to be plugged in to the operational systems. Finally we are ready to put the business processes into production where process instances (individual transactions and workflows) are handled. Evaluating the performance of processes is a major benefit of a BPMS.
BPTrends | Performance Architecture: A Process Management Framework Much of the world is currently concerned with the largest outbreak of the Ebola virus in history (WHO). As people travel from and through the countries involved, they bring an increased risk of the disease to themselves and to all with whom they have direct contact. Historically, about 50% of those who contract Ebola do not recover (CDC). With no proven vaccine for the virus yet developed, as a world we must focus on the containment and prevention of Ebola. Processes and the Four Levels We have previously discussed the four organizational levels in this space: Worker, Work, Workplace, and World. Even the most carefully designed and implemented process will fail if it is not competently and vigilantly managed. Why is the management of a process, whether in response to a lethal threat like Ebola, or in support of a business goal, so critical? Core Business Process Below are ten core business processes most organizations must have to produce results and fulfill their goals. Figure 1.
