Glossary
In this glossary, you will find a set of terms we have defined and reused extensively in our white papers. We have tried to use as few terms as possible. When several terms relate to the same concept, we define only one term and add the others as synonyms.
- End to end Process
Chain of Business Functions triggered by an independent Event delivering Process Value to a Client Process.
Example: “execute a Customer order”. The Independent Client Event is the Customer's request.
Example: “hire an employee”. The Independent Client Event is the Manager’s request.
End to End Processes are Operation Processes or Transformation Processes.
A Business Process is broken down into 2 parts:
· the End to End Process Invariants which define the Functions of the Business Process which are the same for all competitors.
· the Business Process Specificities which define what has been added by the Enterprise to customize the Business Process Invariants and gain a competitive advantage.
Most of the concepts developped on this website are further developped in our white papers. You can download any white paper freely. Please do not re-use without explicit permission.
