What is ISO 22500?

ISO 22500 is officially titled:

“Enterprise language — Business process and business rules — Part 1: Business operational view”

It is part of a multi-part standard that defines the Enterprise Language (EL) approach to modeling business operations, focusing on:

  1. Business governance structure
  2. Process interoperability and rule consistency
  3. Alignment between IT systems and business strategy
  4. Standardized methods for process modeling and automation

ISO 22500 is particularly useful for organizations that want to design automated systems that reflect real-world business policies and procedures accurately.

Why is ISO 22500 important?

Modern organizations face several challenges when trying to digitize operations:

  1. Fragmented business rules across systems
  2. Poor interoperability between departments or platforms
  3. Lack of alignment between technology and strategy
  4. Inconsistent process execution across teams

ISO 22500 resolves these issues by offering a structured modeling framework that ensures clarity, consistency, and governance of business processes and rules.

What are the benefits of ISO 22500?

Implementing ISO 22500 brings numerous strategic and operational advantages:

  1. Standardized Process Modeling: Use a common language to describe operations and rules
  2. Informed Automation: Build intelligent systems that replicate business decision logic
  3. Improved Interoperability: Ensure seamless communication between platforms and departments
  4. Transparent Governance: Document rules and responsibilities clearly for audits and control
  5. Scalable Architecture: Create business models that grow with your organization’s needs
