"BPM software is on the verge of entering a new phase of product enhancements leading to 'intelligent process automation'. In a time where application and information integration are more than ever vital for business success, BPM offers a strong value proposition in bridging the gap between IT systems, people and business processes."

Ullrich Loeffler, Market Analyst Information Solutions, IDC Australia/New Zealand



IDC Australia is delighted to present “Business Optimization: BI, BPM & SOA Event 2007”, to be held in Sydney on the 28 August 2007.


Event Overview


BI, BPM & SOA – Which is one up, What is emerging, and How does one execute?

Today's fast pace industry is causing companies to evolve into business optimization entities. The survival of the fittest is being played out in a different arena, with business optimization being one of the main themes. For many years, business services and IT infrastructures have continued along different and difficult roads of progress, resulting in a huge gap in how these assets can be collectively optimized and synergized for the business. The disintegrated nature of IT assets alongside segmented workflow and business processes form the barriers that are blocking progress.

The IDC Asia/Pacific Software Survey 2007 conducted amongst 100 businesses in Australia revealed that 32.4% of respondents deployed BI software in 2006.
The market for Business Intelligence Software in Australia was valued at AU$186.6 million in 2006. The market is forecast to grow with a compound annual growth rate of 9.5% to reach AU$294.3 million by 2011. (source: Asia/Pacific Semi-annual Software Tracker, Q4 2006)
The BPM market is expected to show strong growth in Australia and is outperforming the overall ISSP market with regards to market growth. On a worldwide prospective, the BPM market accounted for AU$ 1,913.0 million in 2005 and is expected to reach AU$ 4,780.8 million in 2010. That represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.1% and means higher growth than most other software markets.

 

What role does SOA play in improving business processes?

In recent years, service oriented architecture (SOA) software and platforms look set to deliver on promises of "refreshing" IT infrastructures, with reduced effort in integration and system interfacing, as well as an overall aim of improving business process visibility and control. Business processes that are hard to stitch together in the past are re-engineered with agility and flexibility to help cope with rapid changing business requirements.

In short, SOA has evolved into the business process management (BPM) area and is helping to reform enterprise software with a newfound flexibility for change. BPM is the convergence of a number of existing technologies and approaches. Its primary roots are in the process management capabilities of workflow tools but it also includes capabilities that derive from document management, process modelling, analytics, rules management, collaboration applications and application integration. It brings together all these technology elements into a single platform that manages the lifecycle of a process starting from business goals, definition, through deployment, execution, measurement, change and re-deployment.

BI, BPM and SOA are coming together to give the corporate visibility and control and ultimately one version of the truth in operational and business processes.


Why you should Attend:


It is important for all IT infrastructure architects and CIOs to have a firm understanding of the roles BI, BPM and SOA play, and how their business can be optimized in all areas from application services, networks, data, down to the channels and devices. These layers do not operate in silos but have increasing interactions and collaborations shaping up in the near future. Demands are high now for the winners:

To provide visibility and confidence over business processes segmented across different geographical boundaries and have best governance and practices in place
To focus on compliance and satisfying legal regulations without high costs and manual efforts
To develop the agility to roll out innovative services faster
To have a holistic and flexibility business performance management platform that can help keep afresh the pool of reliable key performance indicators needed by management.
