What is the process entry point?
The process entry point is a business-centric starting point for service oriented architecture (SOA) that provides specific tools and services to help streamline and improve processes across the enterprise. By entering SOA from process vantage, you can establish the foundation for IBM's business process management with SOA. Improve the efficiency, flexibility, and control of key business processes.
