Business processes are not only variable, they are dynamic as well. A key benefit of BPM is the ability to adjust processes accordingly in response to changing market requirements. In parallel to BPM, enterprise cloud computing technology has emerged to provide a more cost effective solution to businesses and services while making use of inexpensive computing solutions, which combines pervasive, internet, and virtualization technologies (). Despite the slow start the business benefits of cloud computing are as such that the transition of BPM to the cloud is now underway. Cloud services refer to the operation of a virtualized, automated, and service-oriented IT landscape that allows the flexible provision and usage-based invoicing of resources, services, and applications via a network or the Internet. The generic term “X-as-a-Service” summarized the business models delivering almost everything as a service. BPM in the cloud is often regarded as a SaaS application. More recently, BPM is being regarded as a PaaS as it facilitates the creation and deployment of applications, in this case business process solutions. The PaaS landscape is the least developed of the four cloud based software delivery models previously discussed. PaaS vendors, such as IBM, Oracle, Microsoft delivered an application platform with managed cloud infrastructure services however more recently the PaaS market has begun to evolve to include other middleware capabilities including process management. BPM PaaS is the delivery of BPM technology as a service via a cloud service provider. In order to be classified as a PaaS a BPM suite requires the following capabilities: the architecture should be multi-tenant, it should be hosted off premise and it should offer elasticity and metering by use capabilities. When we refer to BPM in the cloud what we are really referring to is a combination of BPM PaaS and BPaaS (Business Process as a Service). Business Process as a Service (BPaaS) is a set of pre-defined business processes that allows the execution of customized business processes in the cloud. BPaaS is a complete pre-integrated BPM platform hosted in the cloud and delivered as a service, for the development and execution of general-purpose business process application. Although such a service harbors an economic potential, questions that need to be answered are as follows: Can an individual and company-specific business process supported by a standardized cloud solution, or should we protect process creativity and competitive differentiation by allowing the company to design the processes individually and solely support basic data flows and structures? Does it make sense to take a software solution “out of the box” that handles both data and process in a cloud environment, or would this hinder the creativity of business (process) development leading to a lower quality of processes and consequently to a decrease in the competitive positioning of a company? How to manage the inherent compliance and security topic. Within a completely integrated business application system, all required security aspects can be implemented as safeguards with just enough money. Within the cloud, however, advanced standards and identity prove is required to monitor and measure information exchange across the federation.

The Impact

With the emergence of global players, the Indian banking industry is facing fierce competition not only at its homeland but also with the international market. Due to continuous changes taking place in information technology, preferences of customers and competition, there is a need to redefine the mission objectives and process of the organization, so that the efficiency and effectiveness of the organization can be improved. While State Bank of India continues to dominate the Indian banking industry and its profits continue to grow, it is coming under increasing competitive pressure. The flattening of the world as a result of networking, information technology and globalization, necessitates SBI to bring out the drastic change in its procedural activities and redesign its business process. Business Process Reengineering aims at making the processes to be focused on producing the desired results. It also aims to be efficient by optimally using the available resources, to be cost effective by minimizing overall costs and should be adaptable by being able to adapt the changing customer and business needs. The present study focuses on business process reengineering interventions implemented in State Bank of India and the changes in the organization structure with special emphasis on Agra branches. The broad objective of the study was to relate the concept of Business Process Reengineering as a tool to enhance the competitive strength of State Bank of India and to improve its functioning to a world class level.

Multiple Clouds

The demand for agile and flexible business application systems has sparked interest in using cloud computing technology to respond quickly and effectively to a dynamic business environment. The authors classify the appropriate cloud services as a multi-objectives task scheduling problem in a hybrid cloud service system. In this article, the authors propose a business process (BP) driven task scheduling system that supports multiple clouds, including private ones. A trust-based non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA2) is developed to solve the multi-objective task scheduling problem. By sorting populations into different hierarchies based on the ordering of Pareto dominance, they identify a Pareto-optimal multi-dimensional frontier that permits managers to reconcile conflicting objectives when scheduling tasks on cloud resources. The authors illustrate the usability and effectiveness of their approach by applying it to a case study conducting simulated experiments.

Dengan berkembangnya internet dan fintech yang begitu cepat, masyarakat memiliki permasalahan dalam pengambilan keputusan untuk pemilihan layanan atau produk fintech yang tepat karena saat ini banyak layanan yang sama ditawarkan dengan berbagai aplikasi atau web service. Dengan demikian maka muncul layanan Inovasi Keuangan Digital (IKD) klaster aggregator pada Otoritas Jasa Keuangan (OJK) untuk dijadikan solusi bagi pengguna dalam permasalahan untuk pengambilan keputusan yang lebih cepat dan tepat dengan melakukan site/application comparasion untuk pemilihan layanan yang diinginkan. Penelitian ini berfokus pada IKD klaster aggregator karena sektor fintech ini paling banyak diminati masyarakat terkait manfaat yang ditawarkan. Regulasi Sandbox merupakan ruang uji coba untuk menilai keandalan proses bisnis, model bisnis, instrumen keuangan, dan tata kelola penyelenggara khususnya di bidang inovasi keuangan digital termasuk IKD klaster aggregator. Agar produk finansial memiliki kepastian status dalam menjalankan usahanya, maka harus mengikuti tahapan pengujian Regulasi Sandbox sehingga OJK sebagai lembaga pengawasan finansial dapat memberikan perlindungan bagi konsumen. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan teknik pengambilan data wawancara. Hasil penelitian dianalisis menggunakan Maturity Level COBIT 5 dengan domain yang dipilih DSS (deliver, service, support) pada subdomain manage problem dan manage business process control. Hasil penelitian menunjukan bahwa klaster aggregator berdasarkan sampel yang dipilih telah sesuai dalam melaksanakan Regulasi Sandbox berdasarkan 5 tahapan. Hasil maturity level tahap pendalaman sebesar 4.2, tahap pengujian skenario sebesar 3, tahap pengujian dan percobaan sebesar 3.3, tahap perbaikan 3.2 serta tahap penilaian 2.9. Hasil maturity level domain manage problem sebesar 3.8 (4) artinya telah masuk dalam level predictable dimana prosesnya telah memenuhi atribut process measurement dan process control sedangkan domain manage business process control sebesar 3.3 (3) artinya telah masuk dalam level established dimana prosesnya telah memenuhi atribut process definition dan process deployment.   Kata kunci— Regulasi Sandbox, Aggregator, Klaster, Fintech, Maturity Level
