WebSphere Education

Market conditions can change at breakneck pace. And unpredictable market forces---such as mergers, acquisitions, regulatory requirements and continued globalization---can inhibit the ability of your company to grow and compete. To meet these and unforeseen business challenges your organization must streamline, monitor and control business processes and integrate your company’s people, process and information for improved agility and responsiveness.

Business process management (BPM) enabled by service oriented architecture (SOA) is the key to meeting these challenges. Support of BPM in WebSphere software follows a holistic approach, supporting all phases of the BPM life cycle, from modeling through development (the assemble phase), deployment (the run phase) and monitoring of business processes.

The BPM oriented WebSphere curriculum mirrors this holistic approach with a deep set of courses across the WebSphere products that enable BPM:

• WebSphere Business Events

  IBM WebSphere Business Events is a software system designed specifically for managing the business events flowing across systems and people with the goal of providing timely insight and response. Business events are discovered and described in business terms to meet business objectives based on high-level management goals. IBM WebSphere Business Events allows business users to detect, evaluate, and respond effectively to the impact of business events.
