Find out how IBM can help you teach topics related to Service Oriented Architecture (SOA), business process management (BPM), and business modeling.
Overview of SOA and business process management
SOA is a business-centric IT architectural approach that supports integrating a business as linked, repeatable tasks, or services. BPM is a method of examining, integrating, and optimizing the business tasks performed by people and technology within an organization, ensuring that it's operating effectively.
IBM WebSphere software brings these two concepts together and enables you to design, model, execute, and monitor business processes with an SOA approach. If your curriculum includes any business process topics, check out our IBM WebSphere offerings.
