Model Driven BPM & SOA Modernization [3,3]

Case Study: "ReCash NG - SOA Enablement with the ARIS Bridge", an interview with Diego Zanini, Head of the Project Management Office and Process Manager at Intrum Justitia AG, featuring use of the E2E Bridge in combination with the ARIS Platform from IDS Scheer to perform the world's first process driven application modernization initiative based exclusively on Direct Model Execution.

Highlights: Legacy modernization & total business agility in 9 months - Intrum Justitia is the first organization worldwide having modernized its core business application exclusively based on executable UML® and ARIS EPC models.

Challenge: Nearly 10 years ago, Intrum had started developing its ReCash application to better address cash flow related operations, key processes within the company. Today the application is a competitive differentiator. It was developed in PL/SQL and Oracle Forms, mostly with external resources. Over time, local process modifications added to the complexity, leading to a large monolithic legacy where data access and business logic were mixed up, documentation was always out of date, and where the dependency on external resources increased Intrums risk and maintenance cost. Hence, the company decided the complete rewrite of ReCash. The challenge was twofold: firstly, simplifying access to data in a central Oracle database and, secondly, making modifications to the business logic, necessary due to country-specific process requirements, easier to carry out. This had to be implemented, however, without manually extending the PL/SQL code.
