Do you think BPA is still the exclusive domain of IT? Think again.
| Yesterday: How BPA Has Traditionally Worked  |
Today: BPA: No Longer IT’s Exclusive Domain  |
Traditionally, BPA has been the exclusive domain of IT. When a department within an enterprise needed an application, they’d call IT to create a model specifically for that group. According to Gartner, the trend toward providing (BPA) capabilities directly to business users acts as “a vital new bridge of communication” between business and IT. Instead of creating a separate model for each user, ObjectStudio allows the creation of one common business-oriented model for all disciplines across the entire enterprise. When everyone generates the same model, processes are visible to the entire organization, not just one group. This results in highly agile response times, increased productivity and greater competitiveness.
Cincom Smalltalk focuses on BPA—not just for application design, but rather for the purpose of understanding and gaining insight into how the business actually works—primarily from a businessperson’s perspective as opposed to the perspective of an IT application builder.
