Case management supporting re-landscaping by Leon Smiers
December 29, 2013 Leave a comment
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.

Here is the recap of some of the Key BPM sessions and customer stories discussed at Oracle OpenWorld. 
Oracle SOA Suite customer Agilent Technologies shares in this webcast how they leveraged their existing Oracle SOA Suite integration platform for rapid mobile enablement. Our featured speaker is Rajesh Gathwala, Enterprise Architect at Agilent Technologies. Rajesh manages the Enterprise Mobile Strategic Initiative and his areas of expertise include Cloud, ERP, CRM, SOA, Mobile and more. Rajesh will share key aspects of Agilent’s Mobile Strategic Initiative in rolling out 6 mobile apps and increasing employee productivity while leveraging their existing enterprise foundation. Instead of attempting to incorporate too many disparate toolsets, Agilent has successfully consolidated their integration into a unified service integration strategy. Here are a couple of mobile screenshots Rajesh discusses: 
With the latest Oracle SOA Suite (PS6) the Enterprise Manager has been updated. The first thing that will be noticed is that the look and feel has been changed. However that is not the only difference. While looking for log messages (I was not allowed to log into the server directly) I stumbled upon a new feature. It is now possible to access and download the complete server log files from your browser using the EM console. You no longer have to jump through hoops to access and share the log files. Simply log into the EM console and download them.
A lot of organizations are implementing, or want to implement, Service Oriented Architecture to support their goals. Service Oriented Architecture is a natural step in the evolution of Information Technology; we started out with big systems in universities and banks, and moved to desktop computers in the workplace and at home. We are now moving to solutions in the cloud, offering services to consumers and businesses alike, adding mobile computing to the mix. So what is a service? A service is something that has value. Service orientation is not a difficult concept to grasp, everyone knows services and uses them daily; think of a hotel that offers a shuttle service to the nearest airport. Or the hairdresser that cuts your hair. This presentation introduces SOA, using a practical and simple approach. It is done without overly complex abstractions, but with examples from different industries and hands-on experience.
