3 Service Oriented Architecture Different Things to Different People Roles Capabilities that a business wants to expose as a set of services to clients and partner organizations Business An architectural style that requires a service provider, requestor and a service description. It addresses characteristics such as loose coupling, reuse and simple and composite implementations Architecture A programming model complete with standards, tools, methods and technologies such as Web services Implementation A set of agreements among service requestors and service providers that specify the quality of service and identify key business and IT metrics Operations

10 Evolution of BPM The ability to change is far more prized than the ability to create in the first place. Business Process Management The Third Wave Howard Smith & Peter Fingar 1 st Wave: Taylorism 2 nd Wave: Business Process Reengineering 3 rd Wave: Business Process Management (BPM) Frederick Taylor s Scientific Management theory Division of labour Managerial control of the workplace Cost accounting based on systematic time-and-motion study Processes manually reengineered (typically a one time event) Processes implemented via ERP software Business & process logic hard-coded Led to EAI (application to application focused) Facilitating the ability to change Extract business processes from the applications which run them Source: David Knight
