Ventyx Foundation Architecture
A Process-centric View of
the Entire Enterprise
Real-world business processes extend horizontally across organizations and throughout their service network. However, software applications are frequently deployed vertically within organizations. The result: business flows are severed into information silos, ending at the boundaries of an application, organization, or enterprise.
That's why the Ventyx vision is a process-centric, rather than software application-centric, view of the enterprise.
The Ventyx Foundation Architecture is the technical underpinning that makes the dynamism of Ventyx solutions possible. It anchors the process-centric functionality in our products and services and supports business agility and growth by freeing organizations from the traditional constraints of software integration and adaptation.
Five Key Elements to the Ventyx Foundation Architecture
The Ventyx Foundation Architecture supports the business, technical, and functional
drivers of the enterprise through the following constructs:
- Service-Oriented Architecture enables organizations to move beyond application silos to integrated processes. Web Services provide uniform access to any service element regardless of source or location, and support orchestration and aggregation of services.
- Connect-To-Everything Approach provides a common architecture and tools for integration. An Ventyx catalog of services utilizing Web Services standards supports interoperability and integrated business processes.
- Tailorable User Interface uses rules, roles, and preferences, along with workflow-based navigation to personalize the user experience. Utilizing the latest technologies, such as AJAX, the user interface provides the depth of functionality and flexibility of a rich-client interface.
- Real-Time Performance Management delivers quick, easy access to the actionable business metrics, analysis and reports needed to drive operational excellence across the organization.
- Enterprise Software Characteristics lowers the total cost of ownership (TCO) by permitting configurability without requiring customizations. System management tools support scalability, flexibility, availability, and reliability helping organizations achieve overall business objectives.
