Product Review
"This book gets down to business. For those who want to know 'where do I start?' it has an extremely practical, straightforward narrative arc. The roadmap it provides is at once broad enough to cover almost every aspect of enterprise modernization, but deep enough to take us into almost every challenge, from the program code to the board room." -- Larry Goldberg, Managing Partner, Knowledge Partners International, author, editor of 'The Business Rules Revolution'

"Tom's unique understanding of how better management of business rules leads to better management of business processes makes this seminal book a must-read for any BPM practitioner. -- Ishmael Chang Ghalimi, CEO Intalio Software

Product Description
Can you imagine a business, government agency or nonprofit organization that does not incorporate business processes into its operation? Every enterprise mission is defined by the processes' cyclical series of operations. Computer systems support many of these processes, and systems need accurate information in order to decide what to do. These decisions, then, mediate the flow of information between the actors in the enterprise. The connection between business processes and business rules is important. In this book, successful consultant and author, Tom Debevoise explores and explains the interrelated methods of Business Process Management and the Business Rules Approach.

Reader Reviews
This review is from: Business Process Management With a Business Rules Approach: Implementing the Service Oriented Architecture (Hardcover) The book could be an invaluable tool for designing SOA-based business intelligence. However, many typing errors exist in the text. Some statements in the book appear to contradict each other. The discussion on the business intelligence, Chapter 5, is difficult to follow. For example Figure 5.4 is very unclear. Specifically, how do the data from the dimensions in the data warehouse move from the data warehouse to the MQE? Where is the link from the data warehouse to the MQE? If the author can clean up all these issues, the book could be an excellent one for designing SOA-based business intelligence.
