BPM and Big Data
February 8, 2012
Search and business process management: a shotgun marriage. The two can’t help but come together, as IT Business Edge reports in “Two Examples of BPM’s Role in Data Integration.” Writer Loraine Lawson writes that Talend intends to integrate BonitaSoft’s business process management solution with its Unified Platform.
Lawson is pretty sure Talend is the first data integration specialist vendor to venture into this area. She asked Talend’s VP of marketing, Yves de Montcheuil, how the use of BPM contributes to integration. The write up states:
Data governance. To use a master data hub as a system of record, you’ll need to load it from multiple sources, which will have conflicting data. The MDM and data quality tool will resolve many of these conflicts automatically through matching, but for more complicated conflicts, you’ll need a workflow. BPM can drive this workflow, sending the data to business users who can resolve the conflict by validating the correct data.
That does sound more efficient. Another way Talend expects BPM to help is to manage and automate data integration and data quality services.
Talend provides both open source and SaaS big data solutions to organizations around the world. BonitaSoft also offers both open source and paid solutions, but its realm is business process management. Best wishes to the happy couple!
