Product Investment Themes Continued focus on business friendly tooling Enhance business artifact management and collaboration Adaptive Case Management More social and collaborative BPM Rich BPMN 2.0 support Slide 4

BPM 12g Enhancements

6 Business Friendly Tooling More business user accessible tooling – Broaden scope of web-based Process Composer to make it a more complete analyst tool More business user targeted ease-of-use – Multiple view-points for the same process; e.g. tabular view Enable business user to test and simulate – Play-back or run-time simulation for business-user targeted process testing – Business-user targeted business rules testing and test case generation – Simulation in Process Composer Process documentation generation & reports Slide 6

7 Process Composer as Business Analyst Tool Make it comprehensive by adding simulation etc. Run simulations in Process composer Create simulation models from live process metrics ORACLE CONFIDENTIAL – UNDER NON-DISCLSOURE AGREEMENT

8 Modeling More Accessible One model multiple views ORACLE CONFIDENTIAL – UNDER NON-DISCLSOURE AGREEMENT

9 Modeling More Accessible One model multiple views (contd..) ORACLE CONFIDENTIAL – UNDER NON-DISCLSOURE AGREEMENT

10 Collaborative Development Lifecycle Business Asset Catalog Enhancements – Multiple users collaborate on a project across Composer and Studio – Promote sharing and re-use – Integrated with OER for Governance Composer Enhancements – White-boarding (on-the-fly collaboration) – Leverage tagging, rating, searching process models – Tighter integration with UCM to manage supporting content Slide 10

11 Collaborative Modeling Social Process Modeling - White-boarding Concurrent editing with real time updates Concurrent editing with real time updates Discussions and changes ORACLE CONFIDENTIAL – UNDER NON-DISCLSOURE AGREEMENT

12 Collaborative Modeling Searching, Rating, Tagging Tag and rate artifacts Search across different types of process artifacts, documents, social network Identify experts ORACLE CONFIDENTIAL – UNDER NON-DISCLSOURE AGREEMENT

13 More Collaborative Visual compare and merge of versions Interactive merging of processes ORACLE CONFIDENTIAL – UNDER NON-DISCLSOURE AGREEMENT

14 Richer Social BPM (Process Spaces) Deeper integration with Web Center – Roles and privileges aligned between BPM and Web Center – Better Web Center extension model (possibly sooner) – Enhance existing BPM regions and expose new regions Leverage more Web Center capabilities – Integration with Activity Streams (process writing to user walls) – Tagging, rating, linking, searching of process instances and other artifacts Add process-centricity to collaboration – BPM Role based pages inside Spaces – Integrated audit trails Slide 14

15 Rich Process Analytics CONFIDENTIAL -ORACLE INTERNAL# Description Rich Event Processing and Process Analytics Increase stickiness with business users Platform unification to increase BAM/CEP adoption within large SOA install base Main supporting features Platform unification Use CQL engine for filtering, enrichment & correlation within BAM Leverage Coherence as distributed cache enabling HA/failover for all components Enable CEP engine to work on WLS Enhanced Event analysis and Monitoring Provide sophisticated correlation, variance analysis and pattern detection features Enable management by exception with KPI analysis and alerts RTD integration – enable Process Intelligence

16 Process Analytics – Enhanced Dashboards CONFIDENTIAL -ORACLE INTERNAL# Description Enhanced BAM dashboards Support rich analytics using CEP for pattern matching and trending Out of the box integration with SOA and BPM events Main supporting features Enhancements to existing web apps Active Studio, BAM Architect functionality (Dashboards, reports, data object modeling) would be provided in ADF based BEAM Composer Process view in BAM with aggregate metrics KPI definition and KPI Watchlist Collect measures / dimensions that relate to KPIs Specify limits/thresholds and set up alerts for KPI status changes Improved Query capabilities based on CQL Real time temporal queries for Pattern matching & Trending Business User Friendly UI for defining queries Simple expression builder for building standard dashboard queries (including temporal queries Express advanced CEP queries in natural language like syntax using predefined business templates.

17 Adaptive Case Management What is it ? – Breaks with static nature of BPMN 2.0 process models – Process “evolves” at runtime – Allow for completely unstructured, semi-structured and structured Case Models – Knowledge Worker empowerment Standardization – OMG RFP for CMPM (Case Management Process Modeling) – Extensions to BPMN Document Management + Business Rules + new CMPM modeling elements Extension to existing BPM offering – “Case Management Service Engine” – Concept of Case Folder in UCM

18 Adaptive Case Management Concept of a Case Object – A stand-alone entity with certain header attributes Case Driven User Interaction – Case View instead of Work List or Process List – Adhoc Tasks and sub-processes – Governed by Case state related rules Smart Folder – Virtual document folder that the process can wait for etc. Document Integration – Upload attachments to Tasks or Smart Folders – Palette of Document Services and Events Slide 18

19 Case Driven User Interface Tasks available to me at this state of case Guidance on which Task may be more valuable to perform What are other users/roles doing to this case Virtual Folder Activity Flow for selected Task ORACLE CONFIDENTIAL – UNDER NON-DISCLSOURE AGREEMENT

20 Case Worker Defined Activity Flows Process participant defined Process Fragments Available Activity Flows for this Task – leverage other’s best practices Define or edit Activity Flow using embedded Composer Palette of available activities for this Task (governed by case/process model) ORACLE CONFIDENTIAL – UNDER NON-DISCLSOURE AGREEMENT
