Abstract
A computer-implemented method for configuring a business process includes configuring a solution map and deriving a pre-configured set of collaborative business scenarios based on the solution map. The pre-configured set of collaborative business scenarios is then configured and a pre-configured set of event driven process chains is derived based on the configured set of collaborative business scenarios. Finally, the pre-configured set of event driven process chains is configured.
Claims11
A computer-implemented method for configuring a business process comprising:
- configuring a solution map;
- deriving a pre-configured set of collaborative business scenarios based on the solution map;
- configuring the pre-configured set of collaborative business scenarios;
- deriving a pre-configured set of event driven process chains based on the configured set of collaborative business scenarios;
- and
- configuring the pre-configured set of event driven process chains.
A computer-implemented method for configuring a business process comprising:
- configuring a solution map based on a business blueprint;
- deriving a pre-configured set of collaborative business scenarios based on the solution map wherein deriving the pre-configured set of collaborative business scenarios includes:
- a) identifying one or more impacted collaborative business scenarios;
- b) making changes to the one or more impacted collaborative business scenarios based on the configured solution map;
- and
- c) re-establishing consistency in a collaborative business scenario model-base;
- configuring the pre-configured set of collaborative business scenarios wherein configuring the pre-configured set of collaborative business scenarios includes:
- a) performing a high-level business process analysis;
- and
- b) configuring the pre-configured set of collaborative business scenarios based on the high-level business process analysis;
- deriving a pre-configured set of event driven process chains based on the configured set of collaborative business scenarios wherein deriving the pre-configured set of event driven process chains includes:
- a) identifying one or more impacted event driven process chains;
- b) making changes to the one or more impacted event driven process chains based on the configured set of collaborative business scenarios;
- and
- c) re-establishing syntactical consistency in an event driven process chain model-base;
- and
- configuring the pre-configured set of event driven process chains wherein configuring the pre-configured set of event driven process chains includes:
- a) performing detailed-level analysis;
- and
- b) configuring the pre-configured set of event driven process chains based on the detailed-level business process analysis.
