BPM is a tool for improving enterprise business performance

Creating a synergy between BPM and electronic archives
The theoryBPM as a discipline (use processes to manage an enterprise)
The toolsBPM as software:BPM suite (BPMS)
The practiceAny process-centric enterprise has some BPM, but how can we industrialise this BPM?
A natural evolution of BPR, Lean, ISO 9001, 6 Sigma
The aim is to have a single description of business processes:- model in design- input for project planning and execution- executable program for coordination of work- documentation for all staff members- basis for management decisions
An enterprise portfolio of the business processes as well as the practices and tools for governing the design, execution and evolution of this portfolio
A multitude of tools “handle” processes
WWW.SAMARIN.BIZ
• Co-existence of many people, many rolesand many structures– functional
– organisational
– operational
– projects
– social
– etc.
BPM concerns everyone

• Co-existence of many artefacts– vision, plans, processes,
capabilities, services, etc.
• Dynamic and interrelated • Not all relationships between
artefacts are explicit• Not all relationships between
artefacts are interpreted consistently by different staff members and systems
Systems view on BPM

Creating a synergy between BPM and electronic archives

• Who (roles) is doing What (business objects), When (coordination of activities), Why (business rules), How (business activities) and with Which Results (performance indicators)
• Make these relationships explicit and executable
What you model is what you execute
Business processes are complex relationships between artefacts

• Business artefacts– Events– Processes– Activities– Roles– Rules– Data & documents– Audit trails– Performance indicators– Services
• Organisational and technical artefacts …

• Services are considered to be explicitly-defined and operationally-independent units of functionality – Formal description
– Operational independence
– Invisible implementation

• Processes are considered to be an explicitly-defined coordination of services to create a particular outcome– Formal description
– Coordination

• The business is driven by events • For each event there is a process to be executed• Process coordinates execution of activities• The execution is carried out in accordance with
business rules

Creating a synergy between BPM and electronic archives
WWW.SAMARIN.BIZ
• Each business activity operates with some business objects (data or documents)
• A group of staff member (business role) is responsible for the execution of each activity
• The execution of business processes produces audit trails
• Audit trails (which are very detailed) are also used for the calculation of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Typical end-to-end business process

• Can be a mixute of automated and human tasks (process pattern M&M)

• Helps to reduce complexity and to increase flexibility
• Based on a BPM reference model• Addresses the needs of the most
difficult aspect – people• Use of explicit and executable models• Business process modelling in BPMN• Rules for finding services and quick prototyping• Guidelines for usage of different technologies• Link with enterprise architecture
Main advantages of the architectural framework for BPM
