SYSTEM, METHOD, AND APPARATUS FOR EXTENSIBLE BUSINESS TRANSFORMATION USING A COMPONENT-BASED BUSINESS MODEL

摘要

A computer-implemented method for operating a business including operations to receive an enterprise model, define at least one new association between a first and a second business element in the enterprise model, federate a business analysis tool, and determine a business-related impact of the new association on other business elements in the enterprise model. The enterprise model is received at a model server and includes two or more business elements and a map of business components. The collection of business elements indicates associations between one or more business elements. The business analysis tools can filter the enterprise model and are federated by incorporating a business element generated from the business analysis tool into the enterprise model. The business-related impact is determined by using the business analysis tool.
