A Lot Is Riding On Business Process Orchestration"Have your people call my people" was a great quote in the early 1980's. A little more advanced and possibly with the Starbuck's revolution, the quote changed to, "Call me, we'll do coffee." Now the new quote maybe for the 21st century should be, "Have your computer talk to my computer." With the far reaching impacts that can be mind boggling if a true Business 2 Business enterprise went full blown, the concept of having computers talk to each may be realized in this century. Business Process Orchestration is the language computers use from the business world to create their own language and talk to each other. Examples Of Why Business Process Orchestration is Essential If you have ever been in the developing stages of a department or company trying to create a Business Process with an IT Department, then you know how incredibly frustrating it can be. You may all be speaking about the same subject, all realize the overall goal of the process but without Business Process Orchestration you are speaking different languages and the end result may not be the desired one for either party. Think of the Tower of Babel as a prime example. The people decided to create a tower to get as high and as important to God as possible. God gave them different languages to speak and they could not communicate and create the end result. So it is the same when you try to combine two different departments highly skilled in only one area. The two do not know how to communicate. Business Process Orchestration tries to unite the people for the common good. What Business Process Orchestration Really Does Business Process Orchestration is the dynamic execution of a Business Process broken up into a Technical View. Quite frankly it is trying to translate between the computer and the human. Attempting to take, or perhaps make at these early stages, a workflow standard for every company. A workflow is the different tasks that are broken up within a Business Process. Business Process Orchestration tries to break these hard coded theories within the workflow and create a new language. Hopefully if each company can use the same language or adopt its own workflows and if need be tweak the final product, then we would have a common language and computers can thus have conversations. Perhaps every company could work off the Business Process Orchestration and then add a little slang to make the language personal to their own company. |
