Starting from the operational needs of enterprises and the flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of enterprises to achieve control of one of rapid application development, today's BPM applications in China, the premise of landing.
Independent analyst Joe McKendrick SOA SOA and BPM in the described relations between the two once said: "Without SOA, BPM and to be achieved as will appear, but SOA will be more standards and systems integration as a possible basis, through SOA and BPM in the overall context of achieving the greatest degree of simplification will be. From what I hear most is the image of a metaphor, in the assistance of the BPM from the SOA will be a hand like a bundle in the back of people trying to going to achieve. "
As an enterprise application integration methodology or an idea, SOA with high flexibility, reuse and strong and achieve low-cost advantages of standardization and interfaces, how to rely on these advantages to promote the development of BPM, is the current software vendors have been pursuing , and exploration.
Application of SOA-based BPM
SOA is different from respected technological innovation drive demand for its business practices, most domestic manufacturers BPM platform middleware and more of a business as the core to business needs as the starting point, combined with the practical application or on BPM platform development. In the development process, manufacturers strive to enhance the system through the gradual integration capabilities and to achieve more abundant connectivity, ultimately Suduan business delivery cycle while enhancing the overall competitiveness objective.
Make the system more in component-based, service oriented, and forward toward the direction of SOA, and ultimately the perfect combination of SOA and BPM.
The status of BPM and SOA China
In recent years, as more and more enterprises and government units have a more in-depth information on the construction of understanding of information technology has begun the construction phase from the initial stage towards a wide range of applications. Have business in order to achieve a particular application and the building of a separate system, is now restricted the sharing of data between systems, but also hamper system efficiency.
How to eliminate these islands of information, so that all kinds of information resources to achieve their mutual association, integration, coordination and interaction, is the first time in a test of the construction of enterprise information system, which is for those companies based on SOA middleware or platform development tremendous space.
Now, most urgent problems, including enterprise needs to adjust, systems integration, business optimization, carding and function, and is often referred to business-driven applications quickly build agile applications and enterprise information is to address these development contradictions faced by the best choice, also it can realize the business needs more smoothly, minimizing the time and economic costs in order to quickly adjust to the corporate strategy and business support.
The advantages and disadvantages of domestic firms
It seems from the industry as a whole, although domestic manufacturers from the technical architecture, design ideas with foreign manufacturers, there are still some gaps. But domestic opinion, the domestic manufacturers of various applications and platforms held by the "weapon" also has the incomparable advantage of foreign manufacturers.
First, from the practical needs of domestic enterprises, domestic firms through a lot of practice, the hustle of the way accumulated a wealth of fitting domestic enterprise applications, SOA-based thinking practices. Practicality and ease of use in closer to the localization of market demand.
Secondly, technical support and services in a more flexible, tailored for the enterprise, providing personalized service support. In cost terms, than several hundred million other software projects, more easily accepted by domestic enterprises.
Enjoy the advantages, it also tasted the bitter fruit of the attendant, compared to the large foreign software companies, domestic firms do not have a complete BPM implementation methodology support, just tell the user to conduct all business in accordance with DIY, the majority of The software project is only the beginning, not an end. Manufacturers continued support, invested a lot of costs, because users do not see a clear phase acquisition and Jiaokubudie. These are the current needs of profound thought.
