Meeting Topic:
Come see how IBM WebSphere Business Modeler enables you to visualize, document, model and collaborate on business processes. It narrows the gap between business units and IT by improving communication for requirements and use cases, while jumpstarting the development of automated business processes.

Business users can gain insight to optimize processes and use actual data to perform what-if analysis using Business Modeler. Discover how this unique tool is being used by other organizations to gain competitive advantage.

You'll also be hearing how WebSphere Services Registry and Repository can manage and govern services metadata to help with services reuse, services version selection, access to these assets, and enforcement of policies. Governance is one of the greatest concerns when organizations consider adopting an SOA strategy, but WSRR can address those concerns allowing the value of SOA to be realized more quickly.

Discover how WSRR enables runtime flexibility with your existing enterprise service bus by dynamically enabling services selection based on rules in the metadata. Service enabled applications such as MQ, Broker, and CICS can be published in WSRR enabling you to reuse, classify, describe and govern these services like any other service in your SOA.
