Abstract: Approaches for interacting with business process content on a computing device are provided. An approach includes aggregating business process data from base lists into business process chains or scenarios comprising at least one link between two or more business processes. The approach further includes displaying, at a computing device with a screen display, at least a portion of a business solution on the screen display. The portion of the business solution includes the business process chains or scenarios. The approach further includes detecting a first input at a location of a first item of the business process chains or scenarios on the displayed portion of the business solution. The approach further includes in response to the detecting the first input, selecting the first item and manipulating the first item on the displayed portion of the business solution relative to other items of the business process chains or scenarios.

Abstract: A system and method allow a user to extract the set of customizations performed on an application and use these to estimate the time and effort and cost of (a) migrating to a new version of the application and/or (b) consolidating systems. The user can browse the extracted data and select configuration elements for re-use. After downloading the one or more configurations and comparing them, the user selects elements of the configurations for re-use. The first step is to scan one or more application systems and extract the configuration data using a surveyor. The method according to the invention automatically identifies configuration differences. The user then selects configuration elements for re-use. A graphic user interface (GUI) can be provided which allows the user to make these selections by dragging and dropping selected elements to a “To Be” configuration. The selected configurations are then uploaded and installed on an instance of the application.

Abstract: A method for business process to customized program code mapping in a pre-packaged computing solution can include establishing a connection from a business process to code mapping module executing in memory by a processor of a computer to a source pre-packaged computing solution, extracting both a business process hierarchy (BPH) and customized program code from the source pre-packaged computing solution, storing the BPH and the extracted customized program code in storage coupled to the computer, selecting a business process in the BPH and mapping the selected business process to corresponding portions of the customized program code, and generating and displaying in the computer a dependency graph indicating dependency relationships of the mapped portions of the customized program code for the selected business process of the BPH of the source pre-packaged computing solution.

Abstract: A method for configuring a software package for an enterprise includes gathering desired To-be configuration requirements for a software package through at least one questionnaire; gathering current As-Is raw data for the enterprise; displaying the To-Be configuration requirements and As-Is raw data; comparing the To-Be configuration requirements and As-Is raw data; selecting final To-Be configuration requirements; and generating and executing configuration code for the software package to pre-configure the software package with the final To-Be configuration requirements.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention provide a method, system and computer program product for business process to customized program code mapping in a pre-packaged computing solution. The method can include establishing a connection from a business process to code mapping module executing in memory by a processor of a computer to a source pre-packaged computing solution, extracting both a business process hierarchy (BPH) and customized program code from the source pre-packaged computing solution and storing the BPH and the extracted customized program code in storage coupled to the computer. The method further can include selecting a business process in the BPH and mapping the selected business process to corresponding portions of the customized program code.
