CSC ADOPTS BUSINESS PROCESS MODELLING LANGUAGE (BPML) AS FOUNDATION FOR e3 ENTERPRISE ARCHITECTURE

EL SEGUNDO, Calif., July 22 -- Computer Sciences Corporation (NYSE: CSC), one of the world’s leading consulting and information technology (IT) services firms, today announced its adoption of Business Process Modelling Language (BPML) 1.0 as a foundation of its e3 enterprise architecture.

BPML and e3 facilitate business process management (BPM), a process-centric approach to aligning business objectives with IT. BPM differs from other process-driven efforts in that it starts with a top-down, business-oriented approach – in contrast to a bottom-up, technology-focused one.

The e3 architecture enables clients to react quickly to change, institute process improvements rapidly and collaborate better both internally and externally. Because change happens at the process level, and the system – using BPML – makes the appropriate adjustments without manual coding keystrokes, delays are greatly reduced. This helps companies free themselves from the limitations of legacy systems and capitalize on multi-party collaboration.

CSC has identified nine major business drivers forcing the types of changes BPM is designed to address. They include consolidation, mergers and acquisitions, joint ventures, divestitures, regulatory compliance, business model shifts, changing customer expectations, industry standardization and business process outsourcing.

CSC has helped deliver BPM capability to businesses since 1998 based on previous generations of technology. The company is now making the BPML innovation available to its customers through its proven e3 approach and is engaged with customers in several industry sectors worldwide on this basis. Some of the benefits derived are reduced process design to production cost, enhanced automation, improved time to market, change control throughout the process improvement lifecycle, and end-to-end control, visibility and accountability.

“Our adoption of BPML within e3 highlights the many practical attributes of this new standard,” said Howard Smith, CSC’s chief technical officer for the Europe, Middle East and Africa region. “BPML supports the automation and continuous improvement of thousands of unique transactional and collaborative business processes in parallel for all functional areas. Processes can be customized to meet the needs of clients, suppliers, employees, business units and systems interfaces and can accommodate industry standards such as STP, TMF, CPFR and SCOR.”

BPML 1.0, the first public version of this modelling language, was released late last month by a non-profit industry association called the Business Process Management Initiative (BPMI.org). Since joining BPMI.org as a founding member in August 2000, CSC has been an active contributor to the development of BPML. Smith currently serves as co-chair of the organization.
