I am working on integrating ARIS with other BPM and PDM products. The idea to govern the workflow from ARIS and let the BPM and PDM products to do the execution. I believe that the integration can be possible through xpdl/ bpmn xml exports, provided the xml/ xpdl file in created in a format that is understood by other tools.
Since xml/ xpdl allows vendors to add their custom defined attributes the integration this way becomes quite tedious task.
I request all group member to share their thoughts and experiences for integrating ARIS with other BPM products.
Has anyone here also tried the epc2bpmn conversion ion ARIS. Any thoughts ????

Chander,
I have not tried it myself but I saw it as a standard capability of ARIS Process Automation Architect. The BPMN is not editable there as far as I know but if it is done already and semantic checks are written why discover it twice.

Hi Chander,
this is a major point talking with Customers about ARIS, they want to bring it into production using a BPM Tool like TIBCO iProcess Engine. (but the Product doesn't matter)
For sure you can not execute the Model directly, because the Aris Model doesn't contain in most cases any technical details. (like Form URL's, validations, etc. )
But if Aris could export und reimport enhanced XPDL Files (from an other Tool) you can get into the Circle that most of the customers want have.
Otherwise they have to select one Tool for the Business und Implementer.
(like TIBCO Business Studio, but this brings other Risks into the place)best regards, Jörg
