Goal of today’s talk Introduction to SOA and BPM Show that the modeling part of Business Process Management is the common battlefield of IT and Bizz Show how you can leverage Business Process modeling and Service Orientation in your next engagement

How are applications made? The irresistible beauty of programming consists in the reduction of complex formal processes to a very small set of primitive operations Business people do not see this beauty

Terminology: Business process modeling BPM is the activity of representing current and future company processes trough a modeling language… Into a model template to identify unique, measurable and consistent processes

Business Process Modeling Language standards Business process Modeling Notation (BPMN) Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) Unified Modeling Language (UML) Object Process Methodology (OPM)

Business Process Model Example

How is business done? You make something, somebody wants it, you sell it to them and make some more. It looks like a formal process, but business are goal driven not process driven so it changes all the time developers don’t get this (and business will not acknowledge it..)

What are we trying to solve?

So the problem with today's “SOA” projects Vendor driven SOA Solution confusion and technology driven Project driven SOA Given the choice between “can we use some extra money and do it right” vs. “give the business what they want the cheapest and fastest way” Bottom –UP SOA Data driven and miss match towards process

Claims - AuthZ (WS-Trust/WS-Federation) Resources (LOB Domain Objects) Workflow Human Task Human Task Canonical Domain Model (Documents) Orchestrations Events Composite Services / Service Bus Events Services Formal Process Activity Entity Capability Resources (LOB Domain Objects) LOB Systems

The Cloud is Coming

How do I know? Because we are building it. And so are Google Amazon IBM SAP Salesforce …

The “Real” Cloud Lines of business will likely adopt the cloud before central IT. This always happens when the Internet meets the Enterprise. Seeing this today with SaaS providers Salesforce.com etc. mms://wm.microsoft.com/ms/msnse/0804/33036/MMS2008-Day3-Keynote-debrac.wmv

The “Real” Cloud Choosing to put stuff in the cloud is just as likely to be a business decision as a technical one. The cloud offers value (greater efficiency and reliability and lower cost, etc.) through economies of scale. Lines of business will likely adopt the cloud before central IT. This always happens when the Internet meets the Enterprise. Seeing this today with SaaS providers Salesforce.com etc. mms://wm.microsoft.com/ms/msnse/0804/33036/MMS2008-Day3-Keynote-debrac.wmv

Why use Modelling? Models are dynamic (live) Enable (automate) Managed (Documented) Version controlled Workflow enabled Accessible Enable (automate) Visibility Into business process Meaningful representation of the information at different levels Forward-Engineering Automation of generating partially-complete artefacts (source code, configuration, document etc.) Backward-Traceability (reversible) Models are connected to each other

What does this approach mean to you?

What does this mean If you are a developer Learn to model Understand model driven architecture Deployment models, business models etc.. You must be a “mini”-architect Governance, Security, standards etc.. In other words you can not be a code-monkey, to be a developer today is actually harder than yesterday.

What does this mean If you are a business representative Learn to model (not the whole of BPMN, which is 300+ pages..) Understand “the cloud” and your outsourcing strategies You will not be a developer yet

What does this mean In your next SOA project Find and model your formal business processes (capabilities, goals) Pick a candidate which brings most value to the business Make a service model (function, architecture, deployment) Repeat

What does this mean If you are Microsoft? Global datacenter construction Service Management strategy with Systems Center Operations Manager Utilization and capacity management strategy with Systems Center Virtual Machine Manager Expanding service programming model, .NET, from device to server to cloud Extending the application platform with cloud services Internet scale service communications bus with BizTalk Services Converging Environment/Services/Application modeling efforts and modeling platform strategy with “Oslo”

Summary After 8+ years, the time is right for business process modeling Modeling supports a middle out approach Business process modeling is not a business or an IT task, it’s a joint adventure
