Case management supporting re-landscaping by Leon Smiers

There are a lot of informal end-to-end processes in organizations. These end-to-end processes are usually supported by scattered applications, email, spreadsheets and a lot of goodwill of the personnel involved. When compliance, regulations and/or customer demands are imposed on an organization, these end-to-end processes do not have the ability to comply with new demands due to lack of support from the current application landscape. In the financial, public and utilities market organizations are re-landscaping their existing application portfolio due to these higher compliance, regulations and customer demands. This often is not a huge  transformation program, with a roadmap spanning over years.

Case management can help cross the bridge from the current landscape towards a landscape aimed at delivering these higher demands.

Let’s explain this with the process of complaints. This functionality is needed in any market where customer contact is present, and where due to increasing compliance and customer demands the bar needs to be raised to deliver better quality, such as delivering an answer within a given timeframe.

Case Management In-Depth: Cases & Case Activities Part 2 – Case Rules by Mark Foster

In the previous blog entry we started to look at case artefacts, specifically case activities and how we should design these at the correct level of granularity.

In this entry we’ll look at case rules, the “glue” that connects case artefacts together at the level of the case.

Case Artefacts & Case Rules

As of PS6, the design-time for Case Management inside Business Process Management Studio has no “holistic” view of the case and its artefacts, however this is planned for a future release. In the absence of this I’ve been trying to understand how it would be possible to visualize everything that makes up a case and how these things are interrelated.

A Mind Mapping Approach

My colleagues Prasen Palvankar & Ravi Rangaswamy came up with a neat use of mind-mapping to show the case & its relationships.

… I find this great for understanding the questions that need to be asked in the design of a case from within Business Process Management Studio…”who are the stakeholders”, “what are the case activities”, “which documents can be attached to the case” etc. but from this I could still not immediately grasp what my case looked like and the relationship between the artefacts. Read the full article here.

Adaptive Case Management Webcast November 25, 2013

 clip_image002@ 15:00 (UTC/GMT +1 Hour) 90 Minutes Register Now!

Who should attend?

  • SOA/Java implementers
  • Oracle Workflow implementers
  • EAI and BPM consultants
  • ERP Practitioners
  • Industry Solution Architects

With BPM processes that are well defined, the business can track and manage processes that require action according to a strictly defined process. However, some processes are not defined ahead of time and instead require a knowledge worker to take a path according to what happens as the case evolves. For this Adaptive Case Management is needed.

In this eSeminar you will learn how Adaptive Case Management from Oracle will help your customers manage these unstructured processes and provide a richer experience to their knowledge workers and consumers. Integrated with Oracle Real-Time Decisions, Adaptive Case Management helps users make better informed decisions to solve uncommon issues with high confidence. With the additional Adaptive Case Management support, Oracle BPM Suite covers the process patterns and usage scenarios that enterprises need today and in the future.

Poster: Adaptive Case Management (ACM) in Practice

Knowledge-driven processes are typically unpredictable in their execution. Experts working on them decide what’s the next best action to take. This is in contrast to traditional BPM, in which all possible paths of a process are predetermined and modeled into the process. Case management is a way to control and implement these unstructured processes. With the poster below we’d like to bring some of the key aspects of Adaptive Case Management (ACM) on one page.

Feel free to download the PDF-version if you are interested in (login required):

  • What is ACM?
  • Why should I use ACM?
  • How can ACM user interfaces look like?
  • What are the main building blocks of an ACM solution?
  • How to visualize ACM cases with CMMN 1.0?
