Oracle Boosts BPM Plan

Latest version of business process analysis suite offers integration with SOA tools

By Jeff Feinman

October 15, 2007 — Oracle on Sept. 19 released an enhanced version of Oracle Business Process Analysis Suite. Company officials said that with the latest release of the suite, Oracle continues to enhance its portfolio of BPM capabilities.

The company called this release a major step forward in Oracle’s delivery of a comprehensive BPM offering, consisting of the business process analysis suite and Oracle SOA Suite, as it offers a unique way of integrating the two suites. Thomas Gronbach, product director for Oracle Fusion Middleware, said that Oracle integrates its business process analysis tool with Oracle SOA Suite based on joined metadata. Changes facilitated in the technical model through Oracle SOA Suite are then available to the BPA suite as both models operate on the same metadata description.

“As a result, conceptual and technical models are constantly synchronized, allowing business and IT up-to-date insight into their joint process development, preventing a strategy-to-execution gap—a real innovation compared to previous business process management paradigms,” Gronbach said.

The updated edition supports the latest versions of the BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation) and BPEL (Business Process Execution Language) specifications. The suite integrates business process analysis with execution and monitoring tools, and offers customers closed-loop engineering and bidirectional synchronization capabilities. Gronbach said execution tools support the implementation or execution stage of the business process life cycle, implementing forms, process routing and workflow notifications. The Oracle SOA Suite is one such tool.

Both suites support the Process Blueprint format, Oracle’s underlying common model format.
