Patent ID: 8428989

Claim:
A method comprising: reading, by a computing system from a business process map, processes comprised by a service oriented architecture (SOA) project, wherein said processes comprise activities within process elements, wherein said process elements comprise elements associated with accounts and transactions; identifying, by said computing system, a first functional area associated with a first current process element of said process elements; retrieving, by said computing system from said business process map, first mapping data indicating relationships between said first current process element and said first functional area; retrieving, by said computing system, business components; retrieving, by said computing system from said business process map, second mapping data indicating relationships between said first current process element and a first business component of said business components; identifying, by said computing system, a second functional area associated with a first parent process element of said first current process element; retrieving, by said computing system from said business process map, third mapping data indicating relationships between said first parent process element and said second functional area; retrieving, by said computing system from said business process map, fourth mapping data indicating relationships between said first parent process element and a second business component of said business components; analyzing, by said computing system, said first mapping data, said second mapping data, said third mapping data, and said fourth mapping data; comparing, by said computing system, said first functional area to said second functional area; determining, by a computer processor of said computing system based on results of said analyzing and said comparing said first functional area to said second functional area, if said first functional area comprises a same functional area as said second functional area; generating, by said computing system, a first map illustrating said processes mapped to said first business component and said second business component; and presenting, by said computing system to a user via a display device, a first specified screen illustrating said first map.
