After hearing the Fusion Middleware story many times now, I am so relieved and happy to see Business Process Management (BPM) in the spot light once again. During the Oracle Open World 2009 General Session “Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Foundation for Innovation” we heard about SOA, the Enterprise 2.0 Portal and Tuxedo; but what is that? We were given a demo of the new Oracle BPM 11g application development environment. We got to see swim-lanes, process models, simulations and dash-boards. They showed how you can obtain process model metrics and key performance indicators for your process. They made significant improvements over the way BPM integrates with applications and systems.
I feel this completes the Oracle’s Fusion Middleware Story. BPM spans the entire Fusion product suite and needs to be in the spot-light. No other application takes a holistic view of the enterprise and provides a coherent platform to integrate business application the way the business needs them. We’ve heard many times that it’s not about IT anymore. That is certainly true. It should be about Business Processes and BPM solutions needs be part of the strategy.
