Business applications have undergone a quantum shift over the past ten years, frst from centralized to distributed applications, then from connected applications to the Web. This shift has created new application management challenges that many IT organizations have yet to solve. The recent growth of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Web Services-based applications builds on these challenges by layering service abstraction and high-volume messaging to an already complex management landscape. The overall impact is driving a host of new requirements for managing enterprise applications, and a new focus on application management products that help ease the support burden.

The technology services industry is one part of an increasingly service-oriented world. In recent years, awareness has been building that the knowledge required to understand service systems is not as advanced as it needs to be; the development of knowledge that is ultimately applied in industry has not kept pace with the shift to service-dominant economies. In response, a movement has grown to establish service science as a distinct academic discipline fully supported by partners in industry and government. To their great credit, some players in the technology industry have been active in encouraging this progress. It remains an emerging field.
If there is one word that describes the activities derived from the body of knowledge known as Business Process Management, it is "change." Hence, any BPM program worth implementing understands and also teaches how to deal with change. Change management efforts are all about bringing order to the chaos of broken systems and processes. In the midst of all of this comes the fragile task of dealing with changing expectations and dealing with user resistance.
The manufacturing sector has long benefited from the standardisation of key processes. Achieving standardisation in the service sector (especially when it comes to high-end and team based service delivery) is more complex, but it is certainly a very worthwhile goal. The standardisation of services can lead to increased productivity, improved customer satisfaction and optimised operational productivity.
