We are currently working on a showcase that shows in a demo what the possibilities that are offered by this kind of functionality and will hopefully be able to present it soon. It is pretty straightforward really, because all the functionality you will need for this is already available. It becomes very powerful when you deploy complete business processes including embedded rules and let these run. About performance it is really something independent of business rules and my answre would be very generic. Performance issues are the same you get for any web service-based architecture. The performance of the rule execution itself are insignificant because the rule engines that execute rules after catching the wweb service calls are exetremely quick (although I have no concrete numbers at hand, but there are independent instances who have such benchmarks).

This encourages us to produce more episodes where we try to provide people with BPM-related topics in an entertaining way. Regarding your comment: You understood it right. Currently process exchanges do not take please, like you mentioned. The SAP Process Composer is not yet released. With a BPMN Exchange this is planned to realize in the future and support by this the "Business to model and Model to Execution" concept. We hope that BPMN 2.0 will offer the capabilities for an optimal exchange. Best regards, Eric Hi Sandy,

My understanding from the Sapphire presentations is that that piece is still missing, which would require that a process be modelled (probably as part of a much larger model) in ARIS, then re-modelled in the Netweaver BPM process designer.

Being an active Platinum member Capgemini also highly values Boundaryless Information Flow... In effect, both our acclaimed IAF and SAP EAF that Capgemini and SAP jointly developed serve as inputs for upcoming TOGAF release. Looking forward to ARIS getting TOGAF Tool Support Product Standard.

My only area of concern is closing the loop between defining the rules and deploying the rules within our business applications. According to the help files the possibility exist to deploy these rules to either a Java service or Web service. The business application can then call these services to execute the rules. Just the agility to the business I need! Do you have any guidance or experience you can share on this approach? What type of performance can I expect if my transaction volumes are high calling the services? Regards Alfrieda Marwane, I have been evaluating the ABRD and the possibilities excites me.
