This tutorial shows you how to create a business process in WebSphere® Business Integration Modeler, which is an extremely powerful tool that lets business experts apply their expertise to process design. You start by defining the sequence of tasks that make up the process. As you build the model, you'll define the resources and costs associated with the process. Once everything is defined, you'll use the tool's simulation facility to run high-level test cases. Best of all, you can compare different simulations and different versions of the process to determine the best process design.

In this tutorial

In this tutorial, you are going to use IBM WebSphere Business Integration Modeler to model a business process and some business objects, then define how the steps of the business process work. After defining the costs and other attributes of the tasks in the process, run simulations of the process to estimate the benefits the new process will provide.
