When a business process need to synchronize with other business process for generating synergy (or to weave the process flow) , foremost challenge is -"interfaces need to couple". Often Orchestration faults at this very juncture.
Following Question need to be answered to take the plunge :
- Business Process (BP) Significance (What BP stands for in the Value Chain)
- Interface Exposure ( What the BP expects and delivers)
- Heartbeat ( How BP are aware of each other presence )
- Referee ( In case the touchdown not possible between BP's, managing process needs to be informed for alternatives)
Interface is the key component for a Business Process in order to communicate to the external world. More often technologies involved in creation of Business Process are varied. This leads to Silos and eventually gaps in value chain labeled as "not Fit For Automation".Building an Interface (Adapter) to expose the Business Process, can make it " Fit For Automation".
Standards of engagement need to follow universal principles of communication - Messaging Protocol, Channel Specification, Transmitter and Receiver Identification.
Competition is driving businesses to build new business models in the blink of an eye. Technology need to reuse granular business processes to deliver. Need of the hour is to be a expert weaver of Business Process.
