Hello!

Our customer wish to have all the regulation documents as a centralized data base of business process (BP) schemes. I mean there must be schemes (models) instead of word documents that regulate the customer business prosesses. And this BP schemes data base must be somehow managed (approval, changes and so on).

And now there is a choice: what software to use? Some of IBM Rational or ARIS?

I believe Rational products are better to use if one plans to implement all the RUP process including generation of code.

For centralized BP storeing and management it's better to use ARIS products.

The questions are:

1. Is that rihgt in your opinion?

2. What ARIS products to use for distributed system (the customer's organization is rather big )? 

The following is how I understand it (right or not?):

  • ARIS Business Architect (or Business Designer?) - for BP design
  • ARIS Business Server  - the server component
  • ARIS Process Governance - to manage model approval procedures, check in/check out, changes etc.
  • ARIS Business Publisher - to share information (the BP schemes) among the users by means of Web site.

ARIS experts, please help!

Regards,

Irina

I would agree with your opinion that Rational and other UML based products are geared more toward software development than business process modeling.

Your understanding of the software required is also basically correct. You will need at least 1 (perhaps more than one) copy of ARIS Business Architect. It has functionality to manage the ARIS database that is not inlcuded in the Business Designer license. That includes things like managing users, backup and restore, etc.  For basic model development work the Business Designer license is fine.

ARIS Business Simulator is also worth thinking about as a value add option on some licenses of Architect. It allows you to simulate your business processes in advance to test & check performance.

Thank you very much for the replies!

We also thing about implementing KPI . Is ARIS BSC useful for that?

And one more question: for example we have data base of ARIS eEPC models and organization charts. What will happen If we delete one organization unit that is used in eEPC diargam to execute a certain function? Will ARIS Architect give a warning  (some alarm) and show the diargam and function that is connected with this organization unit?

 

Regards,

Irina
