Business Process Management: Modeling through Monitoring Using WebSphere V6.0.2 Products

This IBM Redbooks publication presents a business process management (BPM) "improvement cycle" scenario, showing how a business can use a full business integration solution to complete the following tasks:

- Model and simulate a business process
- Develop and test an application to implement the business process
- Deploy and run the application on a server
- Implement and test business measures
- Monitor the application to observe pre-determined key performance indicators
- Import the observed data to make revisions to the original process model

The business scenario described in this document has been simplified to provide a full description of each stage of the BPM end-to-end process. To avoid having an overly large and unwieldy document, the authors focus on specific tasks, elements, and details, and not on presenting all possible facets of a complex business process.

This document updates the IBM Redbooks publication SG24-7148-00 using the Version 6.0.2 products of WebSphere Business Integration.
