Abstract
Organizations are living a paradigm shift in the development of their information systems: from data to process. The objective is tho emphasize business process to obtain flexible and agile architectures and hence to be capable to face the continuous changes that take place in the environment where the organizations make their business. The purpose is making independent the business process management of software applications and so to achieve that a change in business rules have not a big impact in applications software code. To carry out this goal it will be necessary to build Business Process Management Systems. A similar revolution took place when the introduction of the relational database model cause applications to separate their data model of their logic. This process oriented architectural change can be better obtained if the organization has a previous service oriented architecture. Moreover, in this case the organzation can make a externalization of their functionality by means of web services. Business process could allow to combine services using choreographies and orchestration. This work shows a BPMS general description, studying their relation with the integration of applications and services architectures.
