Introduction

Organizations are collaborating with other organizations in order to meet their business objectives.

For business optimization, organizations re-structure their business realizations by creating new constellations within an enterprise and across the organizational border that need to interoperate.

Key issue: service network, who is to produce the service, who is to consume the service ， business goals.

It seems BMM and SoaML can combine these issues through: Align goals with service-centric approach.

Introduction

BMM: Business motivation model The Business Motivation Model specification provides a scheme or

structure for developing, communicating, and managing business plans in an organized manner. Specifically, the Business Motivation Model does all of the following: • It identifies factors that motivate the establishing of business plans.• It identifies and defines the elements of business plans.• It indicates how all these factors and elements inter-relate. Among these elements are those that provide governance for and guidance to the business — Business Policies and Business Rules.

SoaML: Service-Oriented Architecture Modeling Language OMG-backed, meant to bring a new type of modeling capability to the service-

oriented world (talk in detail later).

BMM

There are three main parts in the BMM. Firstly, an End comprises things that the enterprise aims at

achieving, for example Goals and Objectives. Secondly, the Means are what the enterprise will employ to

achieve Ends, for example Strategies, Tactics, Business Policies, and Business Rules.

Finally, Influencers can change the elements of the business plans through Assessments. The Ends, Means and Influencers are related to each other in order to answer the following fundamental question: What is needed to achieve what the enterprise wants to achieve?

BMM and goal modeling

Objective: reduce in cost and time, while

ensuring sufficient quality of the analyses

Means Establish platform secure

exchange of information between health enterprises.

Consume analysis service with lowest cost and shortest process time with sufficient quality.

Influencers


BMM summary

The values of BMM: Secures a holistic assessment of

possible actions and consequences, from business goal, business processes to technology.

Simpler options for following up decisions critical to business. What decisions have been made? Who made these decisions? When were the decisions made?

Enables simpler communication across large enterprises, between people in leading roles.

Enhanced traceability between strategy and actions ensures quicker and more correct decisions. Why do we need to do something about this? Which decisions are necessary? What are our business requirements?

Right hand picture is the companies that support BMM in Norway and UK

Goal alignment with BMM and service collaboration with SoaML

26

Figure on the left shows an example of a business motivation model that

captures the followingbusiness requirements concerning the

processing of purchase orders:· Establish a common means of

processing purchase orders.· Ensure orders are processed in a

timely manner, and deliver the required goods.

· Help minimize stock on hand.· Minimize production and shipping

costs This example of a BMM model shows

the business vision, the goals that amplify that vision, and the objectives that quantify the goals. It also shows the business mission, the strategies

that are part of the mission plan, and the tactics that implement the

strategies. Finally the strategies are tied to the goals they support.

The example also shows a Process Purchase Order contract that

formalizes the requirements into specific roles, responsibilities, and interactions. The Contract indicates what motivation elements it realizes

through MeansRealizations.


Conclusion

What we have done: We want to show the capability of SoaML in the organizational

interoperability level. The example is service identification from the Norwegian national Health ICT architecture.

What we want to convince: OMG standard BMM, SoaML can be used not only by business

people but also people in the public health and many other domains to reach agreement on the provided and required service, the goals matching them, which support the organizational interoperability.

Conclusion

We suggest a : Organisational Interoperability –by Goal alignment with BMM and service

collaboration with SoaML - requires mutually shared service related goals (ref. Recent EIF v2.0

definition) - we suggest to model goals with BMM and Services with SoaML, and to relate these by fulfillment relationship, in order to provide a concrete basis for the discussion and resolution of organisational interoperability.
