Business Process Management (BPM) Training and Courseware

This course teaches the basics of Business Architecture as a business management and project practice. It instructs how to apply business consulting and transformational business process engineering practices focusing on how to generate business value and capability through the adoption of standards and modeling methodologies.
We have found many companies are struggling with transformational changes initiatives across multiple channels and products. In understanding how to architect results and translate these into project/program definitions and scope participants will be able to positively impact the planning and business objectives of their organizations.

Students should expect to spend 40% of their time listening to lecture and 60% on their time thinking, asking questions and hands-on exercises. This practicum emphasizes in empowering Java developers on how to create the underlying infrastructure by leveraging JRules BRMS that will enable Business Analysts to author business rules
So if a Java developer is asking the question: How do I build the Jrules infrastructure that will enable Business Analysts to author business rules with confidence using ILOG Jrules 7.0 BRMS? Then, this is the practicum for you!

Students should expect to spend 35% of their time listening to lecture and 65% on their time thinking, asking questions and hands-on implementation exercises. This practicum emphasizes in empowering the students to author business rules with confidence by understanding and leveraging the JRules BRMS. 

So if a Business Analyst is asking the question: How do I discover, analyze and author business rules with confidence using ILOG Jrules 7.0 BRMS? Then, this is the practicum for you!

This Drools Training is designed to give Java developers a solid foundation on Business Rule Engines, their applicability to solving traditional business and a mental model of how to design and architect with Rules Systems.

This 2-day course examines Business Rules, business rule engines, and provides essential guidance in designing and applying business rules into production environment. Students are provided with a firm foundation in decision management principles, methodologies, and best practices.  Hands-on lab exercises will provide students with first-hand experience identifying, designing, and implementing business rules.
Throughout the course, students will be exposed to a wide range of topics surrounding decision management, including rules identifying, designing rules, implementing rules, as well as managing and monitoring rules.  Beyond this life cycle, the subject of business rules governance and the application of business rules within the context of Business Process Management (BPM) and also Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) will be explored.

Concepts in this workshop are re-enforced through a combination of group discussion, class exercises, hands-on labs, and daily reviews.

This 3-day workshop explores the world of Business Process Management (BPM), providing students with a firm foundation in BPM principles, drivers, methodologies, and common practices. BPM is examined as an overarching initiative aimed at transforming organizations through process improvement and organizational alignment.

The three pillars of successful BPM – people, process, and technology – will be examined and extensively discussed.  Throughout the three days, students will be exposed to various BPM methodologies, including Six Sigma, Lean, Balanced Scorecard, and Kaizen.  The core of the course will center on the transformation that enterprises must go through in adopting BPM, spanning ten stages of adoption.

Concepts in this workshop are re-enforced through a combination of group discussion, class exercises, case study explorations, and daily reviews.

SOA requires a new methodology for analysis and design. This class is designed for the Business Analysts (BA). The course contains comprehensive coverage of the theory of analysis and design for SOA applications.

This course introduces the participants to the theoretical aspects of process modeling. This course explores the forces driving the need for modeling business processes, the modeling effort as a project, and the critical success factors for making the effort successful. The course provides a way to document, understand, analyze and improve business processes.

The focus of the course is not any specific modeling tool. Instead, it tries to explain the principles of process modeling. For the lab exercises, the class uses Eclipse SOA Tools Platform's process modeling tool and IBM's WebSphere Business Modeler.

SOA requires a new methodology for analysis and design. This class is designed for the Business Analysts (BA). The course contains comprehensive coverage of the theory of analysis and design for SOA applications.

The objective is to learn to model business processes, understand and define the various roles and responsibilities in business processes, perform analysis and generate reports using WebSphere Business Modeler Advanced edition.

This course introduces the participants to Business Modeling. The course also introduces the fundamentals of Service Oriented Analysis and Design (SOAD). The course uses IBM WebSphere Business Modeler Advanced edition as the modeling tool. A well-constructed business process model can help modelers identify inefficiencies and problems with business models earlier in the cycle and eliminate those hidden inefficiencies leading to savings in costs and improving performance.
