In my modeling experience I often use the "Organizational Unit" object; however, I recently came across a similar-looking object, "System Organizational Unit," that I have never used before. The description in the ARIS Method Help is not making complete sense to me and I haven't been able to find an example, so perhaps someone in the community can help.

  • What is the difference between these two objects?
  • Is there a good question I can ask myself to determine whether to use one or the other?
  • If I create a connection between the two in an Organizational Chart model, the connection type is "depicts." How do I interpret this--which is depicting the other?
  • The following graphical example from the ARIS Method Help is very useful for explaining 5 of the object types, but does not include "System Organizational Unit." Would a System Organizational Unit object be appropriate in this Organizational Chart model, and if so, where would it go?

Thank you,

Scott
