Business Process Management with a Business Rules Approach: Implementing The Service Oriented Architecture

Can you imagine a business, government agency or nonprofit organization that does not incorporate business processes into its operation? Every enterprise mission is defined by the processes' cyclical series of operations. Computer systems support many of these processes, and systems need accurate information in order to decide what to do. These decisions, then, mediate the flow of information between the actors in the enterprise. The connection between business processes and business rules is important. In this book, successful consultant and author, Tom Debevoise explores and explains the interrelated methods of Business Process Management and the Business Rules Approach.
