Agenda
• Where are we?• Things to stick during the presentation• Ineffective Process support by IS• Effective Process support by IS• Current trends on IS software• The used of Process-Awareness IS (PAIS)
framework• “Change”. Again! What now?
1. Process Evolution2. Hard-Coded Process Logic3. Complex Software
Customising
4. Inadequate Business Functions
5. Missing Process Information
Current degree process sufficiency• Only 32.92% sufficient
Problem 1: The need to continuously adapt IS to evolving processes
• 40.51% only partly• 27.85% largely
Problem 4: Inadequate business function support
Recap Problems• Process Evolution• Hard-Coded Process Logic• Complex Software Customising• Inadequate Business Functions• Missing Process Information
• If the process maturity of an organisation is low, it will be more difficult to implement (optimised) business processes
• Results:• end-user participation (47.14%)• access to required information (42.86%)
• Deal with project-driven attributes• Results:– management commitment (67.14%)– communication with end users (45.71%)
• Deal with the technical infrastructure for developing and maintaining IS.
• Result:– None of the listed technological-specific CSFs is
considered as essential– Good documentation (17.14%)– Usability (20%)
Hardly seems possible to consider all technology-specific CSFs when introducing an IS
WHILE
These CSF represent a validated baseline for enterprises that want to increase the
effectiveness of their process-oriented IS
Why “Process Orientation” is scarce and why “Process Awareness” is needed?
Process-Oriented Software Technologies
• Process support paradigms– e.g. work-flow management, service
orchestration, service choreography, case handling.
• Process specification standards– e.g. WS-BPEL, BPML, BPMN
• BPM tools– e.g. ARIS Toolset, Tibco Staffware, FLOWer
• Current degree of “process orientation” in IS is by far not satisfactory
• Conventional process-oriented IS are scarce
• Needs process-aware IS (PAIS)
PIT STOP
• What is the main presentation idea needs to stick during this presentation?
How to Implement PAIS
1. By developing an organisation-specific process support system; or
2. By configuring a generic process support system.
PAIS Conditions
• Separate process logic from application code; in other words
• Driven by process models rather than program code.
• Based on powerful process engines that orchestrate processes at run-time.
• Process engines provide extensive libraries of process-oriented functions at build-time.
• Enable the fast and cost-effective implementation and customisation of new and of existing process.
• Implies a significant shift in the field of IS engineering.
• Shift is difficult to accomplish as IS projects often use software technologies-at least today-that do not support the needed degree of process orientation.
• INSTANT QUESTION:– What is the reason behind?
Resist to change – intangible impact factor – increase cost
What is this all about?
• Imply the recruiting and training of IT Professionals
• The involvement of consultants• The integration of application-specific
knowledge and technical expertise into the project team.
Three CSF that particularly important
• Management commitment• Communication• Participation of end users
• CSF = ability of an organisation to align its IS to business processes and business strategy.
• User involvement during IS development will enhance system usage and information satisfaction. Moreover, growing user satisfaction results in greater system usage.
• “process orientation” is scarce, but “process awareness” is needed in practice.
• Helps both IT professionals and researchers to understand factors that can improve the operational effectiveness of process-oriented IS
