ARIS BPM Blog

Eating ARIS? Sounds strange - but true! (Please have a look at the photos… ;-)) I want to give you a short review on the ARIS UserDay 2013 in June 4 th: The ARIS event with great speakers, interesting sessions about the new ARIS release, and a protagonist that celebrates its 20 anniversary!

If not already done, register here for our Webinar to see how the new ARIS features can help you to make your governance, risk and compliance management (GRC) a competitive advantage. Georg Wilhelm, Product Manager of ARIS Risk & Compliance Manager, and me will give you an overview of the new GRC features including: - new GRC social collaboration capabilities - new policy management workflow capabilities

Collaboration takes place anytime and anywhere during the “life” of a business process – from design to implementation to execution to monitoring & measurement. In these stages, you always have different stakeholders involved, e.g.

The eERM attribute allocation diagram plays a special role: it cannot be used to model data structures in terms of relationships between entity types. Its purpose is to assign attributes to the structural elements (entity types and relationship types, if available) and thus to reduce the complexity of ER models. An eERM attribute allocation diagram is assigned to exactly one entity type (or relationship type). The assignment relation I recommend to insert the respective object as an occurrence copy in the model and to use the object name as model name, too.

You probably already saw the new ARIS UI and symbols set that was described in last week’s blogpost by Nina. Furthermore, any ARIS 9 server installation now includes a Central User and License Management Component (UMC) as well as an ARIS Document Storage (ADS) capability. Now, what does that mean? In ARIS 9 there is one single space that:

As I had announced earlier, we were happy to present three webinars on the following topics:

Generalization/specialization - aka “is-a relationship” – is typically used to represent hierarchical associations between entity types. The subordinated (“specialized”) entity type is a subset of the superior (“generalized“) entity type; it inherits the attributes and relationship types of the “generalized“ entity type. A specialized entity type, however, may have attributes and relationship types of its own.

After having read Philipp´s post about the new analysis functionalities, I would like to tell you more about the much easier to use new user interface and the innovative pictogram symbols that come with ARIS 9.

This week Software AG announced its cloud-based platform-as-a-service suite Software AG Live. The suite consists of AgileApps Live, Process Live and Integration Live.

Entity types are the core modeling constructs in an ER model. They represent real or abstract things or concepts and cannot be detailed by other entity types or relationship types. But, entity types are related to other entity types (via relationship types) and they have attributes which represent their properties (see: eERM attribute allocation diagram). Entity types are represented by rectangles (see Figure 1).

The core object types in the eERM are: Cluster/data model, Entity type, Relationship type, Generalization type. Their symbols are shown in Figure 1. Figure 1: Basic object types and symbols in the eERM
