Business process

A Business Process is a group of business activities undertaken by an organization in pursuit of a common goal. Typical Business Process include receiving orders, marketing services, selling products, delivering services, distributing products, invoicing for services, accounting for money received. A Business Process usually depends upon several business functions for support, e.g. IT, personnel, and accommodation. A Business Process rarely operates in isolation, i.e. other Business Processes will depend on it and it will depend on other processes.

Note: An Application can be associated with only one Business Process at a time. So, if you select an Application that is already pointed to by another Business Process, then IBM® Business Services Composition Studio will override the previous link to the other Business Process and create the new link.
