Organizations have been using business intelligence (BI) for a long time to monitor, report on, analyze and improve the performance of their operations.  Many BI implementations, however, have failed to meet expectations of their owners and end users, not just in their ability to provide the expected insights and intelligence, but also in other areas that have a technical basis:  the ability to provide (near) real-time outputs, the ability to scale beyond just a specialized group of users; and the ability to flexibly incorporate additional systems.   This session discusses potential root causes of these issues and suggests a framework for the IT/BI-practitioner that can be used when planning for a new BI system or tuning/enhancing an existing underperforming one.

Market forces are pushing today's organizations to create self optimise enterprise so as to survive and excel in non-level playing field. The Next Generation organizations are increasingly focusing on improving agility (quick turnaround to market changes), efficiency (leverage organization assets and competency) and adaptability (right mix of RTB and CTB).

Traditional Business Intelligence (BI) is data centric and may not present data in context of business processes. Business Process Management (BPM) can capture business processes but has limited capability to measure business performance. SOA adoption in an enterprise raises the possibilities of 'plug and play' business capabilities.

How BI, BPM and SOA synergy can enable the Next Generation enterprise to self optimize? This session brings in outstanding case studies from the industry, for those who are looking out for the answer

Organizations today are looking to move beyond simple solutions for basic needs and are looking to fully leverage the agility provided by business process management and services oriented architectures. Akin to the progression from departmental to enterprise solutions, this shift is from specific task oriented applications to providing a solution for the full lifecycle of an integrated business activity. This session details what these technology architectures bring to a complex business activity and how focused applications can work together to provide the right solution to the right person at the right time. A case study of an integrated business activity and the collaborative business process services required to support it would be dissected and discussed.

When it comes to understanding your business operations, one of the biggest challenges you may face is not getting more information about your business process — it’s making smarter, faster use of the information that’s already available.

Like most companies, you may have invested heavily in IT infrastructures to gather critical information from many sources about your business process. But you still face a major challenge when it comes to acting on that information. Because your business relies primarily on people to receive information, analyze it and orchestrate the organizational response, there are inevitable delays (or latency) that can have a dramatic impact on business performance.

Communications Enabled Business Processes (CEBP) are providing a way for your business to transform how you detect and respond to critical events, with the goal of minimizing latency and creating a more agile, responsive organization. Find out more how this new Business Process can provide you with a competitive advantage.

Driving Business Momentum Through Technology Change

Growth is the order of the day of every organization. As business grows, so does the complexity & number of applications in the organization.

Managing disparate and non-standard applications involves lot of redundant work, which results in non-optimisation of valuable resources. Further, Change Management, interoperability within applications and scalability becomes more complex and unmanageable as number of applications grows.

Enterprises, which embark changing trends, vouch with Service Oriented Architectures & Process Management, as they go well with the strategic changes. Service oriented architectures make better investment sense also.

SOA & BPM as provide a close alignment between business and IT to deliver business agility.  The presentation would focus on business optimization services, which includes SOA strategy, roadmaps, assessment, SOA governance, BPM, and training which Wipro’s offerings in these areas. 

Other aspects to be covered would be SOA based industry solutions for key business areas, SOA assets to key application solution requirements of industries like Banking, Insurance, Securities, Telecom, Manufacturing, Retail, Energy and Utilities, HealthCare etc;

Lastly we would talk about Wipro's e-Enabler solution kit enables faster and high quality SOA solution deployment for its clients. The e-Enabler solution kit can be used to build SOA solutions for business processes across any Industry. The offering includes reference architecture to design and map the solution, an SOA enabler frame work to accelerate development, maintenance and management of the application ecosystem.

In a nut shell “WE MANAGE YOUR CHANGE and ENABLE YOU TO MANAGE THE GROWTH”

Connectivity has been improving and will be further improved.  Service standards are arising and infrastructure platforms have been surfacing.  Intelligence on data and services are improving.  Is this the dawn of what is to come, a Global SOA enterprise platform on the web that all companies can harness?  

Web applications will continue to increase in number unabated and Asia Pacific organizations will be leveraging on more services infrastructure internal or external to their organizations.   There are more trends pointing to the increased leverage of web as a connectivity platform going forward.  What are the major milestones and barriers to such a model or are there new directions to come?  What are the business and technical issues?  What are government thoughts on regulations and policies along this line?  How to harness such collective intelligence?
