Hi,
Please help me
I am newbie in ARIS Toolset, I tried to make a diagram using EPC to represent business processes in my organization by using ARIS Architect. But I am confused, does all the notation as in figure attached EPC notation? Or mixed with another business process model notation, eg BPMN or UML AD? Or is there any other EPC notation?
If it is used all of each notation represents what?
or where I can find documents that explain the usefulness of the notation?
I have searched for some literature and have only found some of the following answers.
