"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. |
