Our
Mission Statement The BPM/SOA
Integration Working Group will define and
promote industry consensus on best practices in
integrating Business Process Management (BPM)
with Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). It
will help to better define the roles of BPM and
SOA as they relate to promoting innovation and
business agility.
Why Integrate BPM and SOA?
As a group we believe that while BPM and SOA
can both provide unique and important benefits
to enterprises, it is through the combination of
BPM with SOA that these benefits can be
multiplied and enhanced. This working group is
focused on promoting these benefits, better
defining how the integration looks today versus
where the industry is heading and how to get
there.
With the future of the IT industry at large,
requiring a merged relationship between business
and IT it is important that we work together to
bridge the existing gap in collaboration. In
general SOA appeals to a technical audience
while BPM attracts the business side. SOA takes
a technology-based approach to creating an
architecture that supports the capturing of
business processes and extending these for new
capabilities while BPM takes a process
management approach that may or may not include
technology
Together they can create an environment that
brings together the technology requirements (an
architecture to support a service oriented
approach to process) and the business management
of these processes to support continued
enterprise sustainability and promote
innovation. |
