BCM Focal Points Approach for reducing unneeded risk by providing proven techniques that enable a service oriented architecture and support enterprise agility and interoperability. l Allows business people the choice to think and communicate in business terms l Helps managers communicate precisely their business goals among heterogeneous partners as well as layering the appropriate steps that must be applied for a project to succeed n Complements existing Specifications l Architectures e.g. Zachman (EA), Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) l Frameworks e.g. Federal Architecture Reference Models, US DoD Architecture Framework l IT Service Management best practice, e.g. ISO 20000, COBIT OASIS Standards e.g. SAML, UBL, WS-Reliability, ebXML Messaging, ebXML Registry, UDDI, XACML

BCM Guideline Essentials n Conceptual layer improves the understanding of the semantics by aligning the terminology of the business and uncovers the real meaning of the business vocabulary n Business layer develops an understanding of the core business goals that the “preferred” business objects must accomplish and constrains them according to defined business processes and patterns n Extension layer provides outreach for mapping the Target Constructs to the desired industry consortiums, standard bodies, and internal legacy system formats n Implementation layer provides in-depth technical requirements analysis of the selected framework

n V1 Standard May 2006 n SC Work l ERP / e-Folders n Norwegian Electronic Process work n Home Healthcare services and Building and Construction Maintenance n New Work l BCML n Framing language that will use 'service bridges' to ensure information used by one SOA artifact is accurately communicated to the other BCM layers l BCMO n Ontology for eBusiness that resides in the Concept layer to ensure semantic synchronicity across all BCM layers OASIS BCM TC Work Status
