Been checking out ARIS express immediately I downloaded. Its very impressive visually and cant wait to see this transferred to Business Performance edition if it will !!
Only things I would love to see in Express that will make it easier to import models to Business Performance & gain converts from Visio are:
1. Attributes in all objects are minimal meaning more details will still need to be completed once model is exported.
2. I think if we trying to get now converts to modell processes, then we need tio enforce basic EPC modelling rules in the tool so that we get all correct from the start.
3. The world is moving to UML and lots off open source tools offer this already. This should be included in the Express version especially to encourage easy introduction to frameworks like Archimate.
