The document summarizes a presentation given by Camellia Petty of Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) and Ashish Udas of Prolifics on how BMI devised and enabled an enterprise architecture from their corporate strategy using Prolifics' business architecture framework and IBM tools. Key points include:
- BMI faced challenges from rapid changes in the music industry and needed to align their technology implementation with corporate strategy.
- Prolifics' business architecture framework and IBM Rational Suite, WebSphere Suite, and BlueWorks Live helped BMI define strategic goals, map capabilities, prioritize projects, and implement key business processes.
- This enabled BMI to establish an actionable enterprise architecture using IBM tools to

With more than 75 years of successful presence in the
Entertainment & Music Industry, BMI Corporation is a
global leader in Music Rights
BMI supports its songwriters,
composers and publishers by
taking care of an important
aspect of their careers – getting
paid. BMI supports businesses
and organizations that play
music publicly by offering blanket
music licenses that permit them
to play more than 8.5 million
musical works. Both
relationships save each time and
money.

Rapid changes in the music industry, increases BMI operational
challenges:
Music Creation: Cutting edge recording, music distribution
technologies enables faster, quicker Music (song composition) creation,
updates
Music Consumption: With rapid and easy to use technologies, music
consumptions increased exponentially and music delivery mechanism /
media has changed significantly
Internet Based Media: Music lovers continue to listen TV and radio but
the industry is seeing a rapidly increase in use of iRadio, YouTube,
Pandora type internet based media to listen and record music
Music Creation and Consumption Mechanism: to continue to remain
a leader as PRO, BMI needed a smarter, agile business process which
could adapt and respond to these rapid changes in consumption in the
industry
Need to deliver Products/ Tools to (and in-support of) Music Creators
A Challenge and an Opportunity
7. CONNECT WITH US: 7
Exponentially increase in music usage results in a significant
challenge for Data Management
Complex data management problems due to:
Lack of adoption (music Industry wide) of data standards
Data Quality
Music Data Integrity
Significant increase in music performances and hence
increase of data volume
Information as-a-service: BMI needs cutting edge data
management tools, processes for high volume, high
transactions to ensure:
Consistent & Improved Data Quality & Transformation
Reusable Music Assets
A Challenge and an Opportunity
8. CONNECT WITH US: 8
Lack of seamless alignment between BMI Strategy and
Technology Implementation requires;
A Challenge and an Opportunity
Well-defined high level business strategy and goals with target
deadline
Breakdown strategy to tactical, feasible and measurable goals
Process Creation to repeatable and flexible since strategy could
change anytime in respond to rapid changes in music market
Set up actionable, repeatable business, enterprise architecture
derived from strategic, tactical goals
Flexible and realistic technology implementation plan to ensure
delivery of smarter business, data management processes in
timely manner

Need for actionable Enterprise Architecture:
Setting Up Actionable Architecture Using IBM Tools
ACTIONABLE – Architecture artifacts do not Stale and can
take action on those anytime; further...
IBM Rational and WebSphere Suite are designed to resolve
this concern and promote / implement Actionable
Enterprise Architecture. Viz.
Business Strategy, Technology strategy changes very rapidly. To
accommodate these changes Enterprise Architecture discipline needs to be
very responsive and should to able to adapt and change its required artifacts /
assets very quickly, repetitively.
Artifacts are available just in time
Easy to maintain in tools with use of Industry Standards i.e. TOGAF, BPMN, BPEL, etc.
Should never lose its core Value and information while traversing / transferring
from one tool to another during implementation
IBM Rational Suite is designed for Business Strategy, Core Enterprise,
Process Governance Artifacts
Seamlessly from Rational Suite of Products one can transfer key artifacts to
IBM WebSphere Suite of Products (IBM BPM, IIB, etc.) for actual process,
service and data implementation without losing any information

OBJECTIVES

Although key artifacts are transferable from Enterprise Architecture
planning tools to Process Planning / Implementation tools, the
artifacts transfer is top-down & one way and not two way
Lessons Learned
For example: after importing Business Process (BPMN 2.0) from Blue Works Live!,
if you change a business process definition in IBM Business Process Designer or in
Rational System Architect, you will not be able to export and sync back to Blue
Works Live! Use Blue Works live Process model for Discovery and high level
process documentation only. Use proper version control and branching for
incremental changes.
Certain complex artifacts do not get transferred as is, you need
formatting and adjustments
BPMN with complex in-line sub-process imported from Blue Works
Live! to rational System Architect changes the format / alignment of
the original process. Or sometimes can lose the sub-process flow
Keeping Artifacts in sync, needs proper well defined governance
structure, version control using Rational Team Concert (RTC)

It is recommended to set up Actionable Enterprise Architecture
for a effective and successful implementation of large to very
large business transformation / technology implementations,
such as BMI.
IBM Rational Suite, WebSphere Suite, IBM BlueWorks Live!
with help of Prolifics framework, quickly enables very effective
actionable enterprise architecture.
There are some challenges in implementing seamless
Actionable Enterprise Architecture, but through proper
governance using IBM range of Suites, those challenges can
be mitigated.
Prolifics’ business, enterprise architecture framework is
effective, flexible and repeatable. It is the proven framework to
bridge gaps between Corporate Business Strategy and an
actual implementation plan and align them effectively.
Key Takeaways
