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…..
Entrenched business processes are enabled by entrenched application systems. As a result, efforts to change or retool business processes can be streamlined through the factual analysis of the data and rules embedded in these systems. This session will explain how to capture and analyze business logic to support system and business process retooling initiatives. The discussion includes data usage and business logic extraction from existing systems and mapping the results to top-down, logical designs.
This talk will provide an overview of both Six Sigma and BPM to indicate where there are synergies between the two types of programs.
BPM builds the framework to create strategic alignment, measure business processes using metrics aligned to business goals, and identify performance gaps that have a major impact on the customer and on achieving desired business results.
Six Sigma can be used as the vehicle to implement the methodology, prioritize the projects, stabilize the processes and close the gaps.
How are New Technology Enablers such as BPM & Business Rule Engines Exposing the Root Causes Behind Business/IT Dysfunction?The root causes behind this dysfunction and how many of today's "industry best practices" for implementing business and technology change gloss over the critical factors necessary to successfully manage and implement business change in large organizations. There are key, but subtle, paradigm shifts taking place in business and technology arenas. In addition, the convergence of these changes are as a whole, greater than the sum of its parts. Recognizing and embracing these fundamental changes and their interrelationship is the gateway to repairing the Business/IT Lifecycle and evolving into an agile organization that rapidly responds to customer and marketplace demands. This presentation is an opportunity for executives, managers and business analysts to take the mystery out of new technology enablers, including business process management systems and business rules engines.

This case study relates how NYSLRS progressed from Rules Maturity Model Level 0 to Level 2 in under a year by using a low cost/low risk methodology that allows for the incremental implemented of business rules in legacy systems. This approach, User-defined Function Approach, allows a company to convert legacy systems into modern agile systems or to investigate the use business rules before selecting a Business Rule Processing solution. IBM has endorsed UDFA as a best practice for business rule implementation.

It is frightening to think that many businesses are operating according to their business rules, but many rules are buried, forgotten, and inconsistent with each other and business goals. The promise of a business rules approach is to change all of that! This presentation leads the attendees through a fun BR exercise, introduces the concepts and promises of a BR Approach, and explores the reality of what organizations are doing with BR today. This presentation discusses the maturity of BR Technology based on a Rule Maturity Model and a recent industry survey.
