Configuring Business Application Systems

  • Chapter
Book cover Handbook on Architectures of Information Systems

Part of the book series: International Handbooks on Information Systems ((INFOSYS))

Abstract

In the past few years business process modeling has become established practice in many enterprises. One area where it is used is in implementing standard business application systems. In such projects, reference models provide valuable support to enterprises when they are creating the business process models that describe their enterprise. Reference business process models give an overview of the business processes that are supported by the application system, and in doing so they help select the processes to be applied in an enterprise. However, it has been much more difficult to make use of business process models when you were setting parameters that change the behaviour of a standard business application system accordingly. It is described how the architecture of reference business process models can be extended to support the setting of parameters in a standard business application system. We then provide a practical illustration of the configuration of such a reference model and the setting of parameters in the system concerned.
