BPM-EAI

As discussed in Part 1 the key motivations behind delivering Integration Platform as a private cloud are

• Minimize environment management overhead
• Uniform configuration accross environments 
• Basic integration platform QoS is delivered to all business initiative including capacity management
• Automated deployment of services with minimal intervention by Integration team
• Optimum utilization of hardware infrastructure 
• Apportion Integration Platform cost based on 
• Integration solution complexity
• Solution type
• Volumetric
• Application to be integrated
• Usage of Integration Platform

Considering Integration platform forms the enterprise backbone, the motivation presented above becomes the key input for architecting & engineering Integration Platform for deriving better ROI using a private cloud based hosting model

Cloud computing today has become the buzz word in the IT industry and being seen as the big thing to address IT's ROI pain. However being involved with Integration, SOA and BPM for years I am constantly trying to see the value of Cloud in Integration or SOA or BPM space for the customers who already have invested heavily on a stack integration, SOA and BPM platform or on different individual platform to address all these areas.

Trust me, I struggled hard to frame the title of this blog and could not make it any simpler. So you need to stay with me on this, read this blog little carefully so that you really know where I’m going with it. Most of this is based on my exposure to industry for EAI, BPM, SOA, SaaS, Cloud and all that can take you to cutting edge and leave your bleeding (if you are at the receiving end unfortunately) without any first aid. Before I get to core of my blog, I think it’s important that I explain the title of my blog so that we are on the same page. Here is the brief blueprint of the blog title.

As if the world of BPM wasn’t amazing enough, we now ironically have something called cloud brightening up the spectrum of benefits that BPM can provide to an organization. Cloud computing no doubt has taken the IT world by storm, a storm which is almost on the verge of transforming into a hurricane (hopefully not as damaging!).  Cloud computing obviously has its advantages and I don’t need to talk about that here. The subject of cloud computing, like SOA, is already being beaten to death by everyone, even as the application of the concept is yet to come completely alive. What fascinates me however is that BPM particularly appears to have a lot to gain with the advent of the cloud model. Besides lower cost, no infrastructure, low maintenance and quicker implementation that a cloud does offer, cloud is making BPM more interesting and affordable for various other reasons as well.

The world economy is passing through one of the worst economic times in the recent history since the great depression of 1930s. There is hardly any industrial sector that has not been impacted by the economic slowdown. Many Governments all over the world are increasing the spending and adopting fiscal measures which in their view will help revive the global economy. The debate amongst the economists of the world, between the appropriateness of the Government intervention led policy as enunciated by Keynes and the non interventionist policy of Milton, rages on and there is no clarity on when the economy will revive and when things will get back to normalcy. The discretionary spending by the industrial houses especially in the IT function has witnessed cuts in these tough economic times. Enterprises are exercising caution in their spending and more than the actual impact of the economic slowdown the fear of the unknown is keeping spending by the enterprises at bay.
 In the current scenario, where in the discretionary spending and capital expenditure in IT function is being scrutinized to a great extent, new paradigms like Cloud Computing might just be the prescription to address the needs of the enterprise.
