Are your business processes dynamic and agile?

April 23rd, 2009

This morning I was talking to a customer about how to build dynamic business processes that can adapt to rapid changes in the business without having to re-implement the whole process. The answer is: WebSphere Dynamic Process Edition (WDPE), released in June of 2008, now in it's latest release (WDPE version 6.2 to match up with the rest of the WebSphere SOA tooling) is an excellent tool for businesses that are implementing business processes that are dynamic in nature. Dynamic processes are built so that the process can adapt to rapid changes in the business.

In this economy, if you want to be competitive, business change is imminent and so is the need for agility in your business processes. WebSphere Dynamic Business Process Edition provides an excellent insight into your enterprise process contents or assets (EPC) and thereby empowering you to continuously optimize your business by dynamically reacting to the changes.

Can u change the business process, without changing the underlying enterprise process assets or content that were built by IT? Yes, if you have implemented those process assets using the WebSphere Dynamic Business Process Edition.

WebSphere Dynamic Process Edition includes these products to help you with the agile process implementation:

WebSphere Business Services Fabric (WBSF) or the SOA Fabric

April 26th, 2007

Been busy with a new baby at home. U know the sleepless night and stuff. Did not get a chance to post any articles recently.

Anyway, lately have been hearing again a lot about SOBAs (refer to my previous post on SOBAs). IBM is showing some heat again in this space with it recent acquisition of Webify and by branding it as part of their Flagship brand WebSphere. IBM’s WebSphere® Business Services Fabric (WBSF – formerly the SOA Fabric from Webify), is the new name for the acquired product SOA Fabric from Webify. WBSF provides a complete process integration solution with SOA governance added to that. Using the WBSF, common business services can be used across multiple business processes across the enterpise, which enables IT to deliver solutions that can dynamically provide customized content based on the business context of the services in use.

BTW, you are in luck if you are in Insurance Industry or if you are in the Healthcare industry – as you can take advantage of WBSF’s pre-built industry SOA content. These industry specific content packs are only avaialble for these two industries and they are building more soon, I guess. The content in these packs include various industry specific commonly used business services & SOA models to make it easy for interoperability among IT systems & partners; to facilitate SOA reuse and to achieve industry standards compliance like HIPAA and ACORD.
