New generation process optimisation

By Dr. Dieter Wenger – Head of Consulting & Marketing

A successful process optimisation requires first an optimal business-process design and second a new generation of flexible and processoriented business software.

“The Business-IT gap is eliminated! Step into the New Age of Business & IT”
-Dr. Dieter Wenger

New Generation Process Optimisation is based on the merge of Business Process Management (BPM) and Software Engineering. This merge is called Unified Process & Software Management (UP&SM) which is seen as a new paradigm eliminating the Business-IT gap and opening the New Age of Business & IT! Why?

FIRST, the Service-Oriented Process Architecture (SOPA) precisely and formally identifies the business processes and their services they deliver each other. This architecture provides a well-structured, non-redundant net of business processes. Thus SOPA is the vehicle to achieve a sustainable and optimal business-process design. Processing which is performed redundantly in more than one process is outsourced to a new process delivering its services to the original processes. It is spoken of a normalised business-process model in analogy to the wellknown normalised data model. This dualism between processing and data leads to the second key characteristic.

SECOND, the Complete Business-Process Logic is captured and modeled. The business logic of a process consists of processing, data, rules, ontology and user-interface logic whereby these different kinds of logic are highly related. It is fundamental to have this complete modeling power which leads to the third key characteristic.

THIRD (Process)Model-Driven Business Software is the harvest of the complete logic modeling power. Simply, processmodel-driven business software is the interpretation of the modeled business process logic. This fact makes processmodel-driven software hundred percent flexible then by changing the modeled logic the software is immediately changed as well.

FOURTH the modeling of the complete business process logic and its interpretation requires the sustainably best information technology. The UP&SM engineering environment for the modeling of the business logic and testing of the processmodel-driven software is fully web- and diagram-based serving as the vehicle for business analysts and software engineers to collaborate closely and highly interactively. The underlying UP&SM platform executing the process models is being kept sustainably state-of-the-art. Cloud computing technology is implicitely included.

FIFTH the enterprise-wide engineering environment and business process model must cover the entire organisation. Even business processes of the organisation's stakeholders have to be included. New Generation Process Optimisation is totally scalable.

SIXTH the efficient collaboration of dozens even hundreds of business engineers presupposes a strong, consistent and easy-to-learn methodology. Since a strong model implies a strong methodology we benefit again of the complete business logic modeling power.

SEVENTH the protection of your made investments is fundamental. Due to the integration-functionality of the UP&SM platform the integration and interoperability with traditional packaged software is guaranteed. Moreover no extrainvestments are required for beginning with New Generation Process Optimisation. The UP&SM technology is open-source.

These key characteristics of the UP&SM New Generation Process Optimisation make it to a paradigm shift compared with traditional BPM and software engineering. The severe limitations of BPM have its origin in its highly incomplete modeling power – e.g. the data logic is almost missing. Those of software engineering have its origine in the lack of process-orientation.

Case Study 1: Learning & Knowledge Management

The learning and knowledge management processes are service processes for all the other business processes. Thus a processmodel-driven learning & knowledge management software supports optimally the other business processes and their involved people. Moreover, the production of training courses and knowledge in general is part of the operational processes and performed by the business experts themselves.

Our learning & knowledge management process solution includes:

1. Learning & Examination Management
2. Course Management
3. Event Management
4. Curriculum Management & Certification
5. Knowledge Management

Our solution will be optimally adapted to your individual requirement.

Case Study 2: Public Administration and eGovernment

Public administration includes thousands of processes being performed by many different administration units. Public administration due to political influences has a high rate of change. Moreover, public administration is extremely heterogeneous ranging from archeology, education, defense, taxes, construction and much more demanding a huge variety of business functionality such as document management, controling & reporting and transaction handling.

Public administration is too complex and too comprehensive to be successfully optimised with traditional BPM and software engineering. New Generation Process Optimisation provides the required scalable power, provides the different kinds of business functionality and technology for a sustainable optimal design and software-support.
