In the last post we explored Business Process Execution Language (BPEL). This is complementary and additional to BPMN, which was considered in our opening posting. BPMN is an open standard for viewing and modelling processes. It is especially useful when seeking out process improvements. Using logical, pre-defined steps helps to organise the definition of your processes and crystallise your thoughts when aiming for optimisation.
A BPEL solution is the execution engine that translates these carefully considered and redefined business processes into operational systems. BPEL developers build-on BPMN models to facilitate seamless integration with existing IT systems and detail key features such as escalations and error recovery.
The Business Process Modelling (BPM) solutions offered by T-Impact are configured through elaboration rather than customised coding, ensuring fast, future-proof and fault-tolerant code, generated through BPEL. BPM systems are termed ‘process orchestration systems’ because they not only implement the processes but also measure them against your service levels and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
T-Impact is conversant with most modern BPM tools and we are happy to work with the tools you select. We prefer open standard tools that incorporate BPMN business modelling and BPEL process generation on the same platform. Proprietary systems can be exceedingly effective, but the best results are normally achieved using open source systems, as they have been optimised through groups of international subject-matter experts working together to deliver the best solution to the broadest variety of industries.
T-Impact protect your investment in existing IT systems. We work with your team to enable existing systems to render data as what are known as ‘web services’ from your existing IT systems. Opening these systems to enable data to be used across business functions, transforms existing technology to a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). The standardised data produced by platforms that have been SOA-enables is easily integrated with T-Impact’s open source process orchestration technology.
The Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for T-Impact BPEL solutions is substantially less than traditional development solutions and packaged solutions. Open standards ensure T-Impact solutions run on almost any infrastructure. Without proprietary software, many expensive enterprise software licenses can be terminated. We also make our process orchestration tools are available to your team. This enables them to quickly develop the skills to enhance and extend the platform. Your enabled team becomes able to deliver new business value from your systems fast and extremely flexibly.
