Jorge Cardoso (SAP Research @ Dressden) presented their efforts on Thetsus/Texo. They are using the SOA paradigm as a way to reengineer business processes, pushing the good’old functional design decomposition to the next level. The building stone of their work is the ISE methodology that proposes to streamline as follows.
- Innovation
- Requirements
- Design
- Implementation
- Preparation to market
- Market lunch
The interesting twist of the methodology is that it also tries to treat each of these steps as services, raising again the buzz word of the conferences “business services”.
