4.4 Process Integration

Process Integration enables disparate business resources — both inside and

outside an enterprise — to work together to support the business strategy of the

company. Model your enterprise business processes, perform activity-based

costing, simulate the processes and deploy them. And then, while the processes

are executed, monitor and manage them.

Process integration allows new business applications to be created and lets

companies differentiate themselves by making customer transactions smoother.

It can integrate the resources supporting business processes, automate the

transactions between them and monitor those processes while executing them,

making it visible, measurable and auditable.

Process integration returns control of business process back to business people.

This means that line-of-business manager can change business processes an

quickly adapt them to changing economic conditions.
