Product positioning |
The contents of IBM BPM Industry Packs are tested and certified on the IBM BPM platform to enable consumability and provide ready-to-use assets. The IBM BPM Industry Packs product provides a set of design time and development time assets that help jump start the delivery of industry- specific BPM solutions.
These industry packs are prebuilt assets that can be reused for multiple lines of businesses, regions, processes, and services in a given industry or its subset. They are not packaged applications that can be deployed off-the-shelf to solve a specific business problem
To help ensure consistency and reuse, enterprises increasingly desire to adhere to industry standards. There are, however, several steps and complex efforts needed to make the industry standards consumable. IBM BPM Industry Packs can help solve this problem and make industry standards consumable on the top of IBM BPM platform.
The industry pack assets are derivative works created from industry standards. Wherever industry standard definitions are not available, IBM unique best practices help clients get the benefits of consistency and reuse.
The IBM BPM Industry Packs product also brings in the required discipline for consistency for multiple projects with a common architecture and methodology. The industry pack architecture and methodology help make it easy to extend BPM solutions based on dynamic business needs. This helps ensure governance across the lifecycle of BPM solutions.
Key architecture guidelines behind the design and architecture of IBM BPM Industry Packs:
- A governing architecture to interoperate methods, tools, and assets
- Prebuilt industry content primarily derived from subsets of industry standards and industry best practices
- Industry assets to facilitate delivery of solutions across an entire industry segment
- Extensibility to support unique client needs and provide the capability for enterprises (and their business partners) to add their own content or extend the content provided to suit unique business needs
Using IBM BPM Industry Packs offers the following benefits:
- Delivers a designed for specific industry participants to facilitate rapid BPM solution development
- Allows otimized for industry standards and best practices, ensuring consistency and reuse for locations, product lines, and processes
- Allows alignment with top-down decomposition of an industry domain, thus providing visibility into reuse across the organizational ecosystem
- Helps speed time-to-market by using service decompositions that ensure consistency and reuse
- Helps simplify interoperability by defining the common language to facilitate interoperability between disparate IT assets
- Helps speed time-to-market with prebuilt, often reused, and industry standards- specific common transactional functions
- Enables standardized connectivity to disparate applications in the IT ecosystem with prebuilt services that are based on industry standards
- Enables clients and partners to plug in their SOA assets into predefined service decompositions
IBM BPM Industry Packs are key offerings of the IBM Industry Frameworks that provide proven, integrated industry architecture that are SOA- based, and support industry-specific business and technology standards. Industry frameworks bridge the gap between general purpose middleware and industry-specific business applications to help solve the most challenging business issues. For more details, visit

If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the program and you are the original licensee, you may obtain a refund of the amount you paid for it, if within 30 days of your invoice date you return the program and its PoE to the party from whom you obtained it. If you downloaded the program, you may contact the party from whom you acquired it for instructions on how to obtain the refund.
For clarification, note that (1) for programs acquired under the IBM International Passport Advantage offering, this term applies only to your first acquisition of the program and (2) for programs acquired under any of IBM's On/Off Capacity on Demand (On/Off CoD) software offerings, this term does not apply since these offerings apply to programs already acquired and in use by you.

There are two licensing metrics for each of the three industry packs in BPM Industry Packs V7.5: per establishment, and per application instance.
- Per establishment
Licensee must obtain a Per Establishment PoE to deploy an unlimited number of copies of the program only on servers that are located at a single site and at locations within 50 kilometers (31 miles) of that site.
For each authorization, you are permitted to deploy an unlimited number of copies of the licensed business models only on machines owned or leased by you that are located at a single physical site, including the surrounding campus and satellite offices.
- Per application instance
For each authorization, you are permitted to deploy and run one copy of the licensed product on one server. If you have more than one BPM Industry Packs installed on a server (for example, system test, backup, and production) an application instance of the licensed product is required for each BPM Industry Packs installation.

IBM includes one year of Software Subscription and Support (Software Maintenance) with each program license acquired. The initial period of Software Subscription and Support (Software Maintenance) can be extended by the purchase of a renewal option, if available.

IBM Electronic Services |
IBM has transformed its delivery of hardware and software support services to help you achieve higher system availability. Electronic Services is a web-enabled solution that offers an exclusive, no-additional-charge enhancement to the service and support available for IBM servers. These services are designed to provide the opportunity for greater system availability with faster problem resolution and preemptive monitoring. Electronic Services comprises two separate, but complementary, elements: Electronic Services news page and Electronic Services Agent.
The Electronic Services news page is a single Internet entry point that replaces the multiple entry points traditionally used to access IBM Internet services and support. The news page enables you to gain easier access to IBM resources for assistance in resolving technical problems.
The Electronic Service Agent is no-additional-charge software that resides on your server. It monitors events and transmits system inventory information to IBM on a periodic, client-defined timetable. The Electronic Service Agent automatically reports hardware problems to IBM. Early knowledge about potential problems enables IBM to deliver proactive service that may result in higher system availability and performance. In addition, information collected through the Service Agent is made available to IBM service support representatives when they help answer your questions or diagnose problems. Installation and use of IBM Electronic Service Agent for problem reporting enables IBM to provide better support and service for your IBM server.
