Handling change…
“Our change request backlog is daunting. I was
expecting our packaged application implementations
to reduce the need for IT-driven change”
“We keep acquiring companies and now have
overlap in systems. How can we rationalize that?”
How do we document activities for compliance
purposes when they are buried in legacy systems?
Our business users are frustrated that we aren’t
meeting their needs in a timely fashion and claim its
hurting our competitive position. Can we do things
differently to support our dynamic business?
The Answer: BPM Enabled by SOA

• In which region did the application originate?
• In which region is the application executing?
A simple process,
• From what channel did this application
but as you drill down…
originate?
-Ecommerce application over Web?
-Kiosk for a specialty group?
-New accounts at a branch office?
• Does the account type require any
special reporting?
• Have check been ordered; is there
special pricing?
• Have designated accounts been • What privileges does account type selected have?
linked? • Interest bearing – linked to other accounts to meet
• Are there any special arrangements balance requirements?
with the specialty group? • Is the initial deposit verified?
• Do they have other accounts/products at the bank?
• Is identity verified?
• Any credit bureau requirements if a small business
account?

Suddenly the process looks like this…
…and these are barely two steps in the high-level process!

Root causes of complexity:
How did we get from here:
– Desire to treat different customers
differently
– Mix of IT systems/applications
involved
to here:
– Extra activities required for
compliance (e.g. SOX)
– Constant Change
A different approach is required

How do we get back to here …
1. Manage business policy issues, which are dynamic and change frequently,
separately from technical process implementation
2. Associate business policies with SOA Services to define business services, that,
capture details like:
– Context: Which geography are we in? What type of client is this?
– Contract: Which execution venues are permissible? Must we report this trade?
– Content: Is the trade value large? Should we split it into smaller pieces?
3. Provide a rich process execution infrastructure that leverage business services
dynamically based on specific business situations
4. Surround the execution environment with rich modelling and monitoring capabilities
to build understanding of process details and results
