Presentation
Three pillars of a practical architectural framework: BPM, SOA, and ECM

The aim of this talk is to share my experience in the use of a practical architectural framework for the improvement of complex business systems. This framework is a generic enterprise architecture which

• provides a systemic approach, adaptability and flexibility,
       
• brings together people, processes and programs,
       
• deals with business events, procedures, rules, objects and data,
       
• allows agile step-by-step deployment each step is a mini-project carried out at the users pace,
• economises considerably the required resources, and is designed for transforming a historically-grown complex system of systems into a coherent, smoothly evolving, business environment.
