However, technical debt, coupling, and a high level of maintenance - sometimes bringing IT systems to a complete halt – continue to present a problem. The software industry has to still apply standards-based, modular, and repeatable approaches that exist in other industries. This book demonstrates such methods in action, particularly business/IT alignment principles. As you progress, you’ll cover advanced concepts and theories currently researched in academia. Then, you’ll be guided toward a practical framework to transfer these approaches to actual software architecture. Finally, a dedicated section will help you apply the knowledge you gain to a sample application in .NET where API design, dependency management, and code writing will be explained in detail to relate to the business-alignment principles explained at the beginning. Throughout the book, you’ll get equipped with the skills to create modular, long-living applications that serve your users better. By the end of this .NET book, you’ll not only have learned new concepts but also gained the ability to apply them immediately to your upcoming software endeavors. What you will learn Comprehend the main problems in real-world software development Understand what business alignment means Create a four-layer map of an information system Become proficient in SOLID, C4, and domain-driven design (DDD) architecture Get up to speed with semantics, APIs, and standards for better interoperability Include BPM, MDM, and BRMS in information systems Design an application with strict responsibility separation Who this book is for This book is for software architects who want to have an in-depth understanding of how their applications will be used and how they can fight technical debt as well as design software to keep it working even when business requirements evolve. If your previous software designs experienced progressive loss of performance and the capacity to evolve, this book is for you. |
| business process optimization examples: Business Process Management Andreas Gadatsch, 2023-05-27 This textbook bridges the gap between business management and organisational methods and their digital implementation, because process management increasingly means designing operational tasks. In addition to methodological basics, the work offers many practical examples and exercises. Prof. Gadatsch's book is now considered the current classic, THE authoritative standard work on IT-supported design of business processes. The tenth edition has been revised and adapted to the requirements of the digital transformation. Process management has evolved greatly due to the trend of digitalisation and as a result of the pandemic. Another related trend is the increased use of Data Science methods for process management, which has been consequently named Process Science at scientific conferences. Recent research results published under the heading of Explorative Process Management are also of particular importance. They show that the first main phase of process management was rather focused on optimising existing processes and business models. New practical examples were included at various points in the book, for example the migration strategies for the ERP system SAP S/4 HANA, which is the basis for many industrial and service processes. The chapter on modelling processes was updated and newer methods such as Business Model Canvas were included. |

| business process optimization examples: Business Process Technology Dirk Draheim, 2010-08-09 Currently, we see a variety of tools and techniques for specifying and implementing business processes. The problem is that there are still gaps and tensions between the different disciplines needed to improve business process execution and improvement in enterprises. Business process modeling, workflow execution and application programming are examples of disciplines that are hosted by different communities and that emerged separately from each other. In particular, concepts have not yet been fully elaborated at the system analysis level. Therefore, practitioners are faced again and again with similar questions in concrete business process projects: Which decomposition mechanism to use? How to find the correct granularity for business process activities? Which implementing technology is the optimal one in a given situation? This work offers an approach to the systematization of the field. The methodology used is explicitly not a comparative analysis of existing tools and techniques – although a review of existing tools is an essential basis for the considerations in the book. Rather, the book tries to provide a landscape of rationales and concepts in business processes with a discussion of alternatives. |

| business process optimization examples: Business Process Management Applied Charles C. Poirier, Ian Walker, 2005-07-15 Businesses around the world are discovering the improvements possible through a focus on the key process steps contained in an end-to-end supply chain connecting multiple enterprises. Industry leading firms are bringing five to eight points of new profit to their bottom line, while the laggards have failed to generate any return on investment (ROI). This book will help the reader understand how process improvement can add value for firms of any size in any business, and show the way to track those savings to the profit and loss statement. It will introduce a roadmap for achieving success by relating specific process improvements to specific savings and value creation. It begins with a guiding framework and a presentation of the underlying architecture, including the basic elements of optimizing the extended enterprise, applying business process management (BPM) tools and techniques, and bringing value to all constituents of the network enterprise, especially the end consumer.

| business process optimization examples: Subject-Oriented Business Process Management Albert Fleischmann, Werner Schmidt, Christian Stary, Stefan Obermeier, Egon Börger, 2012-10-31 Activities performed in organizations are coordinated via communication between the people involved. The sentences used to communicate are naturally structured by subject, verb, and object. The subject describes the actor, the verb the action and the object what is affected by the action. Subject-oriented Business Process Management (S-BPM) as presented in this book is based on this simple structure which enables process-oriented thinking and process modeling. S-BPM puts the subject of a process at the center of attention and thus deals with business processes and their organizational environment from a new perspective, meeting organizational requirements in a much better way than traditional approaches. Subjects represent agents of an action in a process, which can be either technical or human (e.g. a thread in an IT system or a clerk). A process structures the actions of each subject and coordinates the required communication among the subjects. S-BPM provides a coherent procedural framework to model and analyze business processes: its focus is the cooperation of all stakeholders involved in the strategic, tactical, and operational issues, sharing their knowledge in a networked structure. The authors illustrate how each modeling activity through the whole development lifecycle can be supported through the use of appropriate software tools. The presentation style focuses on professionals in industry, and on students specializing in process management or organizational modeling. Each chapter begins with a summary of key findings and is full of examples, hints, and possible pitfalls. An interpreter model, a toolbox, and a glossary summarizing the main terms complete the book. The web site www.i2pm.net provides additional software tools and further material. |
