Business Process Compliance Despite Change: Towards Proposals for a Business Process Adaptation

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing ((LNBIP,volume 350))

Abstract

Business Process Compliance (BPC) denotes the execution of business processes in accordance with applicable compliance requirements. BPC can be satisfied through compliance processes that are integrated into the business process. In addition, compliance requirements place demands against IT components that are sometimes necessary to execute business or compliance processes. Various factors, such as outsourcing or business process reengineering can lead to a change of processes or IT components and thus to a violation of BPC. Consequently, our goal is to provide proposals for a business process adaptation to further ensure BPC. Following the design science research methodology, we developed two artifacts to reach our goal. First, we developed a meta-model that represents the interrelations between alternative compliance process patterns and compliance processes that satisfy the same compliance requirement. Second, we developed a method to automatically put forward proposals for a business process adaptation through the integration of alternative compliance processes to further ensure BPC.
