The Role of Business Rules in Enterprise Architecture

When we consider the role of Business Rules in Enterprise Architecture, we soon discover that – contrary to many popular schema – Business Rules are neither components of the process model of the enterprise, not are they simply constraints that exist at the lower layers of the architecture. Using The Zachman Framework and KPI's RMM™ (Rule Maturity Model) we are able to properly construct the role of Business Rules within the Enterprise Architecture that fully supports both MDA (Model Driven Architecture) and a Services Oriented Architecture (SOA). This construct also allows us to build a matrix of requirements for the rules management software to support the enterprise at the level of maturity targeted by the enterprise for its Business Rules approach.

Moving Towards the Process-Centric World

People, processes and systems are the fundamental components of which any company is composed. However, many organizations find that coordinating and managing these elements to achieve business objectives is an enormous challenge. This challenge has intensified in recent years, as information systems have grown exponentially more complex and the business climate has mandated that, to remain competitive, companies must act with greater responsiveness and agility than ever before.

Panel: Business Process (BP) and Business Rules (BR: Perfect Together or Perfect Apart

WE STAND AT A CRITICAL CROSS ROAD. There is no doubt that BPM technology and BRE technology are delivering on the promises of organizational agility. Some organizations start by understanding their business processes first, adopt a BPM product, and then explore the business rules beneath the processes and the BPM product. Other organizations start by understanding critical business rules first, adopt a BRE product, and then explore the guiding business processes around the rules and the BRE. Still other organizations investigate both BP and BR at the same time, seeking both technologies and their harmonious union. THE CRITICAL CROSS ROAD TODAY IS STARING US IN THE FACE. Should BPM and BRE technology exist in one execution environment or should they deliberately exist as separate pieces of software. Only these panel members know for sure…

Case Study: Aligning BPM to Business Stakeholder Value

Aligning BPM to effectively deliver business results is a collaborative journey. Your BPM team Team, your IT Team and – most importantly – your Business Stakeholders need a practical roadmap for achieving tangible success. Topic dimensions will include:
  • Executive priorities & the BPM business case
  • BPM Center of Excellence shared resource / governance model
  • Positioning BP improvement deliverables for BPM success
  • Advocacy for BPM impact measures
  • Case Study: When the Business Gets It: Navigating Toward Business Leadership for BRs

    The efforts of a large healthcare company to establish an enterprise-level business rules governance function and a BR Center of Excellence will be explained. The energy to address these ideas came from an IT-inspired BR Guidance Committee made up of business unit managers who really "got it" about rules. Members understood the potential business benefits of BRE technology but also that the potential could only be fully realized if the business (including themselves) stepped up to the challenge.

    Business Process Management, SOA & Composite Applications

    Business process management tools offer organizations the ability to significantly improve business processes, reaping improved productivity and customer service in the process.

This session will explore how these technologies relate to one another, discuss developing trends and look at case studies of organizations that have implemented these advanced features.
