Market Definition/Description
A BPMS enables the direct control and management of

operational processes in near-real time to better meet
today’s business cycle time needs and enable more- agile
processes. A BPMS integrates the following BPM- enabling
technologies, many of which are also available as
independent products, into a suite.
l Graphical business process modeling (BPM technology) to
create visual representations of the work process.
l Transformation creates a graphical modeling environment reflects
at least these two perspectives on the same process – one for
business professionals and another for IT professionals (with
greater technical details represented).
l Orchestration engine (such as a BPEL engine) to coordinate the
sequencing of the steps and tasks (system steps and manual
steps) according to the graphical flows and business rules
described in the process model.

Business Process Analysis
Process analysis tools (business intelligence and business activity
monitoring [BAM] technology) to support analysis of data produced
during process execution.
l Process registry/repository to contain process models, business rules and
other process metadata to enable real-time execution and component reuse.
l Rule engines execute rules that abstract business policies, flows and
decisions from the underlying applications and make process change easier.
l Simulation and optimization (BPA technology again) enable business
managers to compare new process designs with current operational
performance.
l Integration (enterprise service bus [ESB] and integration broker suite
technology) link the orchestration engine to other systems’ (data and logic)
assets that support automated work steps included in the process model.
l Document/content repository (enterprise document management [EDM]
technology) to contain structured and unstructured content that is either
created or consumed as part of the work process. In a BPMS, these are
modules that work together to deliver a single product experience.

Fusion Effect

Las Vegas, NV
Oracle as Gartner Sees It
Oracle is a sleeping giant in this market. Once

it adds a business-analyst-oriented modeling
tool and completes its human-to-human
(H2H) capability in 2006, we expect that
Oracle will focus on competing as a BPMS
vendor. Its capabilities hold great potential
for the Oracle client base and new Oracle
buyers.

48
Oracle vs. SAP
Although SAP recognizes that business processes

should increasingly be adaptable by business
users “... on their individual level of influence and
capabilities,” it also recognizes that this will require
substantial changes to the business applications
that enable these processes.

49
The Fusion Effect
Continuous Improvement
The sustainable competitive advantage

achieved by continuous blending of
business insight and process
execution.
