How This Course is Organised

The Oracle Unified BPM Suite 11g/12c Essentials Certified Implementation Boot-Bamp course provides step-by-step instructions on how to perform a variety of Business Process Modelling, configuration and Management tasks for activities based on real-life work scenarios. This course offers an end-to-end view of Business Process Management (BPM) and the Oracle BPM Suite 11g. You will learn how to install and configure the Oracle Fusion Middleware 11g Infrastructure components as well as the BPM 11g Products and technology stack.

In addition to the detailed coverage of Business Process Management, BPM standards and BPMN modelling, you will learn about the phases in a typical BPM life cycle. It presents the Oracle BPM Suite of products, explaining how they support every part of the BPM life cycle. You will learn how Business Analysts can use Oracle Business Process Composer or Oracle BPM Studio to model a process, and how to use Oracle BPM Studio to simulate a process in order to optimise it.

The course describes how Developers, working with the same model, implement the process by creating the business logic and integrating each element of the process with services and back-end systems. Learners get a glimpse of how end users interact with running processes, and they see how data from a running process can be monitored through dashboards in Business Process Workspace.

The WebLearning hands-on series reduces the time spent investigating what steps are required to perform a task. Because the step-by-step solutions are built for practical real world situations, not only is knowledge gained through valuable hands-on experience, but also the solutions presented may then be used as the foundation for production implementation, dramatically reducing time to deployment.
