– BPM can abstract the
“business process”
from underlying
systems and services.
– Over time, IT can
consolidate those
services into a
common set of
services within one
SOA layer.
SOA
Systems
– Users of the process
are not affected as
services and systems
are merged, replaced,
or updated.

Process Improvement Requires A “Third Way”
Process-improvement requirements are likely to be unique, which favors build rather
than buy. And the timeframes and costs of both are often not compatible with process
improvement, so a ‘third way’ is required.

Response to Change
Let’s Start With Process Discovery
and how is it done today?
• Figure it out yourself
• Lock the team in a conference
room for day(s)
• Sticky notes
• Whiteboard drawings
• Back and forth till you finally
understand your process
• Scribe it all down
• Convert it to a diagram/drawing
14
Accelerate Change by Improving the Way You Work
Streamline, document, and run processes
Anyone can improve a process
• Automate work run through email
• Easily document processes
Gain control and insight
• Instant dashboards for visibility
• Reporting for improved governance
Collaborate for better results
• Team up in secure private workspace
• Leverage public expert community
The best way to engage line of business
users in process discovery, documentation,
and simple process automation
15
Lowering Barriers to Collaboration creates Value
‣ Increasing Transparency through
Documentation
Government Agency
• Document and provide standard process across 8
regional offices
• Simple processes from travel requests to complex
processes like new traffic control tower setup
‣ Centralizing and Standardizing Processes
• Document and standardize processes across 14
domestic and 5 international call centers
• Able to centralize core workforce management
functions due to large part of standardized process
Worldwide Outsourcer
‣ Incorporating Broad Participation
Global Insurer
16
• External business areas view and maintain their own
processes within a centralized repository
• Reduced resources to manage and administer process
repository from 14 to 2
• Reduced change requests from 8 weeks to 2 minutes
Change is inevitable. Adapt accordingly.
Embrace complexity, adapt quickly and exceed expectations
Simplicity for deep business
