This paper focuses on how to build agile and standard business processes that orchestrate those services into end-to-end business flows. A business process is a series of steps required to implement a business function. The business process may include system interactions and/or human interactions, within an enterprise or extending across corporate boundaries. Some enterprises merely document their business processes, for consistency or regulatory purposes. However, the past several years have seen an increase in the number of organizations that use IT systems to execute and monitor their business processes in an automated fashion. The paper believes that one of the key drivers behind this accelerating adoption of Business Process Management (BPM) is the emergence of broadly accepted standards such as WS-BPEL for implementing and executing business processes.
