Web Services
Web services allow interoperable software components to be built over
the web using standard protocols, which can perform business functions
and processes.
Currently organisations have to choose a single product vendor to
provide the software functionality to perform an business function or
process i.e. if a company wishes to automate it's HR function then it
would look at souring the software from a single ERP vendor rather
then source the best bits from the best vendors at the right price.
The main reason for this is interoperability of data definition and
messaging standards between different vendors is not consistent. This
means a-lot of work on integrating the different components would need
to be carried out which is not feasible.
Interoperability of data and messaging is the underlying foundation of
web services. Organisations will be able to get the best components
from the companies wish to perform their business functions e.g.
within HR a software component to manage compensation and benefits can
be bought from SAP, a software component to manage performance
management can be bought from PeopleSoft and so on. All these
components are interact under the web services framework to provide a
seemless automated HR function. This single example simpler more cost
effective integration will
The concepts that underpin Web Services are not new:
· The componentization of software and the encapsulation of discrete
business functions as software components has a long history in object
technologies.
· Distributed computing has been a major goal of successive waves of
client/server development.
· Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) is founded on the use of a common
syntax and standard messages for business transactions.
· Enterprise application integration (EAI) is based on the need to
optimize integration between systems by sharing data and business
logic.
· The application service provider (ASP) model is about delivering
software as a service rather than as a standalone application.
· The ideas of aggregating information from multiple sources, of
organizing the information around the user who drives the data

Cloud Computing is an up and coming strategy that could create millions of jobs while allowing companies to become more profitable. How does Cloud Computing work?

The rest of this chapter is organized as follows: Firstly, we introduce the origins and history of BPM in section 2.1. Secondly, we present a number of basic BPM concepts, definitions, and terminologies in section 2.2. Thirdly, we show the relation- ship between BPMS and other systems or applications, such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Groupware Systems or Computer Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW), and Workflow Management Systems (WfMS) in section
The last decade can be marked as a period of significant changes in the business world. Being accustomed to utilize computers as a powerful tool with its office applications such as Microsoft Word and Excel. In the 1990s office workers first faced the opportunity to share information using the Internet (McNurlin, 2009). However, the situation became even more different with the transition to the third millennium. With a further development of information technologies, the majority of big enterprises had to reconstitute their business processes and to make the transition to the Internet economy. Enterprise resource planning (ERP), supply-chain management (SCM), customer relationship management (CRM) software and the variety of other information systems became essential components of the new economy. It can be expected, that all these complex solutions were designed to bring great benefits for different sides of the corporate activity, in particular, decisions made by top-managers are expected to become nearer to the ideal, customer service is to be improved and collaboration more prolific. Nevertheless, to ensure the desired results it should be taken into account that the key concept of these reorganizations is an information or a data, dealing with which can be a serious issue, and wide utilizing of the data warehouses in contemporary organizations confirms this fact.
