Sorry, no demos

What is BPM?

• Business Process (workflow) Engine

• Business Rules

• Business Activity Monitoring (BAM)

• Application Service Framework (glue)


Why use BPM?• Workflow automation

• Fewer user interactions

• Manage user tasks

• Consistent Processing

• Centralized Business Knowledge

• Transparent

• Agile

• Centralized & Consistent

• Complex Event Processing (CEP)

• Combine data from multiple sources to infer events

• Detect time-based patterns

• Drive the workflows


JBoss BPM Suite Features• Process Modeling

• BPMN 2.0 compliant

• Eclipse tooling

• Browser-based tooling

• Full debugging & testing

• Simulation & cost analysis

• BPSim standard

• BRMS (Drools) = Business Rules

• CEP = Complex Event Processing

• BRMS extension

• Disaster recovery & scalability

• Enabled through integration with JBoss EAP 6

Process Automation

Business Problem• “Housing Crash” of 2008 prompted lending institutions

and US Treasury to offer mortgage modification plans• Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP®)

• Principal Reduction Alternative (PRA)

• Second Lien Modification Program (2MP)

• FHA Home Affordable Modification Program (FHA-HAMP)

• USDA’s Special Loan Servicing

• Veteran’s Affairs Home Affordable Modification (VA-HAMP)

• Home Affordable Foreclosure Alternatives Program (HAFA)

• Second Lien Modification Program for Federal Housing Administration Loans (FHA-2LP)

• Home Affordable Refinance Program (HARP)

• FHA Refinance for Borrowers with Negative Equity (FHA Short Refinance)

• Home Affordable Unemployment Program (UP)

• Hardest Hit Fund (HHF)

• And, and, and

• These plans change frequently

• Pose risks to lending institution’s “bottom line”


Business ImperativeStreamline the mortgage modification process

• Increase volume of mortgage modifications handled

• Streamline or automate up to 20 steps which include

multiple human touch points and integration with in-

house and partner applications

• Create a straight-through process path to rapidly approve

“vanilla” requests

• Route outliers to a mortgage specialist

• Allow managers to adjust decision rules within the

process to respond to changes in book of business

Business Rules Extraction

Business Problem

• 7M+ subscribers for fixed & mobile voice/data services

• Complex product portfolio for both residential &

corporate clients

• Order management & fulfillment is problematic

• Legacy Oracle WebLogic Integration system is at EOL

• Order routing rules are embedded in WLI and difficult to

maintain/change


Business ImperativeImprove maintainability of Order Capture and Scheduling

• Integrate with existing Siebel CRM

• Migrate existing business knowledge from Oracle

WebLogic Integration system

• Use open source stack with no vendor lock-in

• Provide customer self-service portal

• Allow for future expansion of Order Capture and

Validation system

• Cost effective scalable platform

• Aggressive implementation schedule (10 months from

concept to production)

BPMS

Benefits

• Order Routing rules are easier to maintain

• No need to edit/redeploy Business Process when rules

change

• Business Processes are independent of each other

• New Business Processes can be created without affecting

existing ones


Use Case IIIDigital Globe

Long-running Processes

Business Problem

• Order, Production, Delivery system with long-running

processes

• Current architecture is difficult to maintain

• Production may require 1 to 500 sub-tasks, one minute to

several days each

• Unable to compete because of unresponsive S/W

architecture

• Poor oversight of order & production status


Business ImperativeUpdate aging production system

• Refresh current architecture over next several years

• Standards-based “no vendor lock-in” solution

• High performance/throughput system

• Dashboard for order, production & delivery processes
