Business Process Reengineering

Enterprises Gain Advantage from Business Process Reengineering

In an increasingly complex and competitive global marketplace, enterprises have sought competitive advantage by reengineering business processes to deliver greater performance, reduced costs, and improved agility. While a variety of approaches to business process reengineering have arisen in recent years, the use of service-oriented architecture has caught the attention of many as a solution with enormous potential. In a service-oriented architecture, or SOA, applications and information assets that once were unable to efficiently communicate with each other are modified to become modular units, or services, in a standards-based environment. By freeing applications from hard-coded dependencies and making them available to other resources and all users, an SOA delivers a powerful platform for business process reengineering. New solutions to evolving information challenges can be created by combining two or more services, solving problems cost-effectively and with greater responsiveness. For the software services infrastructure that gives companies the agility to easily deploy and manage an SOA, enterprises have chosen Progress Software.
