Abstract

New forms of cooperation like collaborative business scenarios require a deep but flexible integration of enterprises. To manage cross-organizational business processes existing concepts for business process management need to be adapted and extended. In this paper an architecture is presented, that shows how cross-enterprise processes can be planned, implemented and controlled. The architecture is based on the differentiation of global knowledge within the network and local knowledge of each participating company. Another important part of it is the process lifecycle model that serves as a guideline for the process-oriented setting-up and operation of cooperations. By the use of graphic representations of BPM-models and intuitive metaphor based model-generation and -visualization tools a broad acceptance for the inter-organizational BPM-effort within the network can be achieved.
