Polymita at OMG Technical Meeting

San Jose, Costa Rica, 22-26 June, 2009 - Object Management Group (OMG) celebrated its Technical Meeting that included meetings of the advocacy groups, the SOA Consortium and BPM Roundtable Forum. Polymita was a key guest in the BPM – SOA Information days that included conferences and discussions on Model Driven Architecture (MDA), Business Process Management (BPM) and Service Oriented Architecture (SOA).

Erik Brieva, CEO of Polymita, offered a conference on BPM Case Studies. The presentation showed an overview of practical cases of BPM implementations in Healthcare, Pharmaceutical, Financial Services, Outsourcing Services, Hotel Chain, Franchising Chain, Real Estate, Telecom, Retail, Manufacturing, Education, Public Administration and Government.

Brieva demonstrated that “Business Process Management offers the best return on investment for companies of all sectors”, and showed how “BPM ROI can be measured as a combination of different benefits, such as productivity increases, cost saving, revenue increases, monitoring and control, predictions, transparency and people satisfaction”.

The Discussion Panel on BPM and SOA, moderated by Karen Larkowski, Program Director at OMG, offered 90 minutes of interactive discussion between the panelists Erik Brieva (Polymita), Sanjay Kumar (Savvion), Linus Chow (Oracle), Jimmy Figueroa (Microsoft) and Mario Guerrero (MegaPractical). Mr. Brieva opened the session offering his vision that “BPM is first and foremost a management discipline that needs to gain relevance among the top management of the organization, and then technology can implement the strategy defined and align the operations to it”. Further, discussion focused on the relationship between BPM and SOA. All panelists agreed that SOA can exist without BPM, and BPM has flourished without a firm understanding of SOA. However, the combination of SOA and BPM is more powerful than either is alone to create greater business agility. SOA, loosely coupled with BPM, provides the ability to create process independence and automatically creates services that can be reused in many ways across the enterprise, and in multiple processes that can be continuously improved.
