Abstract
On Demand Business concept, from IBM, shows how to coordinate the transformation of the enterprise organization and its technological infrastructure to bridge the gap between business and technology. This problem appears in most of information systems. This concept is based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) to improve the connection between business services and software services.
If companies can reach this On Demand Business context they could improve the software development process by applying standards like Model Driven Architecture (MDA), to separate business logic from software and technological platforms, and Business Process Management (BPM) to define business processes. In this article we propose a new approach that combines On Demand Business with MDA, BPM and SOA to improve software development process starting on business knowledge.
The most important contribution of this approach to Knowledge Society is the method used to connect business knowledge with technological resources using a well defined architecture.
