[news.eclipse.technology.epf] Reg: Organisation Process Library

[Saravanan.Sankar@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Sarav)]

Hi, 

I am Sarav working for Cognizant and we have been doing lot of research on 
process modelling and process orchestration using EPF and our other 
internal home grown tools.

We are having a existing process library, which is only a static set of 
html pages. But we are proposing to build a process asset library for the 
process group, to create new process and maintain existing processes. The 
challenge we face is duplicate of process elements that exist across 
different process in the organizations. 

One solution we thought is, using EPF to create a organization process 
library and publish the standard common reusable process method plug-in. 
Any one building a new process can import these method plugin's and build 
the new processes.

But the problems with the above solution are:

1) Every user once imports the standard plug-in from organization library 
to their library, the link with organisation library is lost, and any 
future changes to the organization changes will not be reflected.

2) Since EPF does not have a web based solution, maintenance of all the 
plug-in in a common central place becomes difficult.

3) We also tried with SVN & CVS to maintain the process library, but it 
consumes lot of effort in maintenance.

Open Questions:

1) Does any one have come across this scenario?? Any case studies 
available?

2) Is there any standard architecture to setup process library using EPF??.

3) Any standard or whitepapers on how make process reusability effective 
using EPF??
