BPM 11G CUSTOMER STORIES & SOLUTION CATALOG & PROCESS ACCELERATORS
Stories
Everyone loves a good story on planning or implementing a BPM strategy. Everyone wants
to hear how it was done before?, what worked?, what was achieved? If you have achieved success with BPM, we are very keen
to hear your stories and examples of how your customers use it. We receive lots of requests from people who are thinking of using BPM
to solve a specific problem or in combination with a specific technology
to talk
to someone who has done it before. These stories are invaluable. Drop down the details of anything you think is relevant with a bit of detail and we will follow up on it. As one good deed deserves another, we will do our best
to give you stories if you need them
to show that where you are going, others have treaded before. Send your stories
to us using this e-mail link and we will share them among other like minded people.
Solution Catalogue
This summer, Oracle is launching a solution catalogue specifically intended for partners. If you have delivered a successful implementation in BPM and think it could be reused and applied again in a similar scenario in the same industry or in a similar environment, then we ware keen
to know about it and will add it
to the solution catalogue. The solution catalogue will showcase successful BPM solutions both inside and outside Oracle. Be in touch with us on this e-mail link and we will make sure
to add your solution.
Process AcceleratorsFinally if you have specific processes that you are expert on, you have implemented at a customer and you want
to work with us on getting these productised, then we would love
to know about it. The process accelerator programme is explained in the most recent SOA/BPM Community Newsletter but again feel free
to contact us if you want
to get involved.
Good luck with BPM and let us know how we can help. Barry O'Reilly Director BPM

DELIVERING SOA GOVERNANCE WITH EAMS BY LINK CONSULTING TEAM
In the last 12 years Link Consulting has been making its presence in specific areas such as Governance and Architecture, both in terms of practices and methodologies, products, know-how and technological expertise. The Enterprise Architecture Management System - Oracle Enterprise Edition (EAMS - OER Edition) is the result of this experience and combines the architecture management solution with OER in order
to deliver a product specialized for SOA Governance that gathers the better of two worlds in solution that enables SOA Governance projects, initiatives and programs.
Enterprise Architecture Management System
Enterprise Architecture Management System (EAMS), is an automation based solution that enables the efficient management of Enterprise Architectures. The solution uses configured enterprise repositories and takes advantages of its features
to provide automation capabilities
to the users. EAMS provides capabilities
to create/customize/analyze repository data, architectural blueprints, reports and analytic charts.
Oracle Enterprise Repository
Oracle Enterprise Repository (OER) is one of the major and central elements of the Oracle SOA Governance solution. Oracle Enterprise Repository provides the tools
to manage and govern the metadata for any type of software asset, from business processes and services
to patterns, frameworks, applications, components, and models. OER maps the relationships and inter-dependencies that connect those assets
to improve impact analysis, promote and optimize their reuse, and measure their impact on the bottom line. It provides the visibility, feedback, controls, and analytics
to keep your SOA on track
to deliver business value. The intense focus on automation helps
to overcome barriers
to SOA adoption and streamline governance throughout the lifecycle.
Core capabilities of the OER include:
Asset Management
Asset Lifecycle Management
Usage Tracking
Service Discovery
Version Management
Dependency Analysis
Portfolio Management
EAMS - OER Edition
The solution takes the advantages and features from both products and combines them in a symbiotic tool that enhances the quality of SOA Governance Initiatives and Programs.
EAMS is able
to produce a vast number of outputs by combining its analytical engine, SOA-specific configurations and the assets in OER and other related tools, catalogs and repositories. The configurations encompass not only the extendable parametrization of the metadata but also fully configurable blueprints, PowerPoint reports, charts and queries.
The SOA blueprints
The solution comes with a set of predefined architectural representations that help the organization better perceive their SOA landscape. More blueprints can be easily created in order
to accommodate the organizations needs in terms of detail, audience and metadata.
Charts & Dashboards
The solution encompasses a set of predefined charts and dashboards that promote a more agile way
to control and explore the assets.
Time Based Visualization
All representations are time bound, and with EAMS - OER you can truly govern SOA with a complete view of the Past, Present and Future; The solution delivers Gap Analysis, a project oriented approach while taking into consideration the As-Was, As-Is an To-Be.
Time based visualization differentiating factors:
Extensive automation and maintenance of architectural representations
Organization wide solution.
Easy access and navigation
to and between all architectural artifacts and representations.
Flexible meta-model, customization and extensibility capabilities.
Lifecycle management and enforcement of the time dimension over all the repository content.
Profile based customization.
Comprehensive visibility
Architectural alignment
Friendly and striking user interfaces
