Why should EIDX do Business
Models?
- There are business benefits to our membership in our continued work on
business modeling:
- EIDX and CompTIA are acknowledged as an important resource
- Expertise in B2B, business processes and technical standards
- We need to be able to validate what is produced by other organizations and suggest
changes, additions, improvements
- This is facilitated by doing modeling using the same modeling language
... UML
- EIDX and CompTIA deal with the broader spectrum of eBusiness technologies, including
X12, EDIFACT, Business-to-Person (B2P - one partner has back-end integration, the other
partner has a Person that uses a web browser), and educate members
on where we we fit in that spectrum.
- EIDX and CompTIA focus on core scenarios - more specific
groupings of business process components - the "third level"
- We define ways to reengineer business processes, and
we are often early adaptors of reengineered processes developed in
other industries. To do that, we
need to model those processes.
Reasons for Recasting into UML
- There are business benefits to our membership to using
UML. They
include:
- UML allows us to facilitate application of object-oriented design in our business models
- We want to improve the quality of our business models, there appears to be gaps showing
up in using the UML modeling method
- Putting our business models into UML form gives us credibility
- Allow us to compare business process models to those created by other organizations,
- to allow us to propose changes (to ours, to theirs) in order to fill gaps or resolve
discrepancies
- to allow us to easily adapt models developed by other organizations
- to give us basis for submissions to the maintenance processes of other organizations
