Company profile:
BPM & SOA – The “Why” And The “How”
At Fujitsu, we believe that BPM and SOA are joined at the hip. Let’s take the example of a large financial institution that wanted to automate the process of opening brokerage accounts and reduce the error rates resulting from manually processing these accounts. We’ve just described Business Process Management – it’s the “why” that drove this financial services heavy-weight to invest in a BPM solution. How do you implement a BPM solution so that you can flexibly access a myriad of back-end systems within and outside the organization to support this business process? This “how” to implement is what we believe SOA is all about. SOA consists of creating standards-based reusable components that benefit multiple applications across the organization.
SOA Governance & Management - The “Glue”
As the number of reusable components such as Web services begin to mushroom, it becomes critical to be easily able to discover, manage, monitor and analyze the use of these artefacts. You cannot reuse what you cannot find. Enter the need for SOA Governance & Management solutions. These offerings serve as stores for all the reusable components created within and outside organizations – the benefit lies in being able to easily search for and reuse them and quickly understand the impact on other applications should you decide to make changes to any of them. This SOA store thus serves as the DNA for your enterprise.
