Model Driven Business Transformation

Model-Driven Business Transformation (MDBT) focuses primarily on formal business modeling from strategy level to operational flow-model. MDBT does this by translating business understanding to solution design (solution composition model) and generating a platform-specific IT implementation, thus closing the gap between a business and its IT-based solutions. By using formal models and automatic model transformation, the technique allows business executives, LOB managers, and IT architects to smoothly transfer and communicate business goals, operational requirements, implementation design, and rapid prototyping.

The MDBT framework characteristics enable an innovative view of the business:

• Artifact-centric Operation Modeling is a differentiated, value-added technique designed to help optimize business processes by complementing traditional activity-based analysis with business-level information-based analysis.
• Component Business Model and Service-Oriented Architecture (CBM-SOA) is a structured approach and tool set designed to help connect component modeling to downstream process models. CBM-SOA helps implement this connection through business service modeling at business and IT levels, informed by Service-Oriented Modeling and Architecture (SOMA) and other techniques.
• Business Process Transformation is a collection of novel techniques that employ linked business and IT models to help generate automation and integration code directly from structured models of the business intent.
• Performance Monitoring employs modeling, analysis, and monitoring techniques to help instrument the automation systems of a business and correlate the results with strategic objectives.
