WebSphere Business Modeler Services

Smooth Start

Is your company starting with WebSphere Business Modeler? When properly implemented, Business Modeler provides a straightforward environment for business analysts with a modicum of technical expertise to model existing business processes, simulate proposed changes, and evaluate the cost/benefit effectiveness of such changes.

WebSphere Business Modeler then allows the analyst to produce Business Process Execution Language (BPEL) describing the model for implementation in WebSphere Process Server or other BPEL runtime environments. An experienced MQSoftware consultant can get your implementation off on the right foot with clean installs for your business analysts, a well established set of best practice policies and procedures, and knowledge transfer to your personnel.

Smooth Start deliverables:

  • WebSphere Business Modeler will be installed on any of the WebSphere Business Modeler supported systems - Windows 2000 and Windows XP only.
  • Eclipse Source Control Plug-ins will be installed in all WebSphere Business Modeler systems to connect the toolkits to any supported source control manager you own including, but not limited to Rational Clear Case, CVS, PVCS, and Microsoft Visual Source Safe
  • The installation and configuration will be tested using standard IBM sample programs.
  • Procedures will be established for creating projects and the underlying objects in the WebSphere Business Modeler.
  • Procedures will be established for deploying code to the WebSphere Process Server or other BPEL runtime environments as required.
  • The MQSoftware consultant will provide knowledge transfer related to WebSphere Business Modeler to your administrators, architects, and developers.

Smooth Start prerequisites:

  • WebSphere Business Modeler (Basic, Advanced or Publishing Edition) software purchased and delivered.
  • Systems with appropriate hardware and software resources for WebSphere Business Modeler. If uncertain of this, see the MQSoftware Implementation Planning Engagement.
  • A System Administrator for each of the systems available to provide administrative level logins.
  • Future Business Modeler users and administrators are available for knowledge transfer.

Duration: +3 days depending upon the number of systems to be configured.
A rough formula is:
2 Days for groundwork, toolkit installs, and knowledge transfer, and policy establishment
1 Day for source control linkage
Up to 10 WebSphere Business Modeler Systems per day
