Abstract

Nowadays lots of organizations rely on enterprise systems to gain efficient and effective business operation. However, enterprise system implementation is a complex endeavor of business process transformation. In the journey, multifarious procedures are carried out while raising a lot of fatal problems. In this paper, based on process-centric methodology and cross-platform integration technology, we developed an integrated platform SCPM to facilitate the whole life of business process transformation. SCPM possesses rich functionalities in business modeling and analysis. Besides, it facilitates to deploy business processes for enterprise system implementation through integrating BPM tool with enterprise system configuration tool. SCPM closes the gap between business process, system configuration and IT execution. And the cross-platform structure makes SCPM to be a milestone on the way of SOA. © 2008 IEEE.
