ARIS Solution for Business-Driven SOA Management
Visionary architecture always requires good building plans!
Service-oriented architectures overcome the rigid relationship between IT systems and processes by breaking down IT applications into modular, reusable services. These services are orchestrated into technical processes, enabling them to map business workflows in IT systems. When a business process is altered, technical service orchestration is adjusted and executed accordingly. The key gain is fast, easy IT implementation of new business workflows.
Reaping the benefits of an SOA requires documentation of the business processes to be supported — otherwise, the technical service processes will not meet user needs. Therefore, business processes are essential when planning an SOA.
The ARIS Solution for Business-Driven SOA paves the way to business process-based SOA with specialized software products and the tried-and-tested ARIS Value Engineering procedural model. Using target-oriented work packages, this procedural model supports IT staff and departmental users to create and manage service-oriented architectures using work packages that systematically guide them to the desired result.
The solution supports application scenarios for service architecture, service orchestration and process automation and service and application development.
