Executive Summary
Our Understanding of Your Goals
We understand the challenges you face in aligning IT investments with your strategic business goals. This forces the delivery of more services with fewer resources, which encourages you to create innovative ways to leverage and extend your existing IT infrastructure. The end goal is an environment that integrates business processes but leverages existing IT assets to meet your needs and deliver a positive return on investment (ROI) for your overall infrastructure.
This is a major challenge. Your strategy must meet needs for today and deliver a foundation that is extendable to meet future requirements. Further, since your IT systems have grown exponentially, the highly complex software architecture that remains requires extensive integration and may have reached its limits. Considerations for your strategy must include an infrastructure that responds quickly to new business requirements, continually reduces the IT cost to the business, and seamlessly absorbs and integrates new business partners and customers – within a centralized, easy to manage interface.
Our Approach to Meet Your Goals
The WebSphere Process Server helps you align your business and IT goals for delivery of real-time management of business processes. It is used to develop and execute standards-based, component-based business integration applications in a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA). An SOA can help you respond to business needs by delivering the flexibility to assemble and change business processes quickly.
WebSphere Process Server enables you to build business processes that span various business applications and associated architectures to deliver centralized simplification for your IT environment on a single server. This dynamic assembly of business processes and service-based integration helps you lower costs by increasing reuse (the basis of a Service Oriented Architecture) and helps deliver seamless connectivity into existing systems.
