| Overview
of most important ARIS Platform products |

ARIS
Business Architect is Web-based and supports professional,
enterprise-wide business process management (BPM). It offers
maximum flexibility for modeling, analyzing, and optimizing
business processes and benefits from an intuitive user interface.
ARIS Business Architect contains extensive functionality for
administering databases, users, scripts, etc. Alongside proven
methods like Event-driven process chain (EPC), ARIS also supports
BPMN, BPEL, UML, and other architecture concepts, such as, DoDAF,
IT City Planning, and Zachman. |

ARIS Business Designer
is the Web-based tool for getting started with end-to-end business
process management. With its client-server architecture and
enhanced user interface, ARIS Business Designer allows even
non-technical users to design professional business
processes.

ARIS IT Architect
provides all the elements needed to build and manage
enterprise-wide IT environments and synchronize them with business
processes. This software product supports all the necessary
planning processes, from documenting and analyzing the existing
architecture to establishing a new architecture that is aligned
with business processes. |
| ......................................................... |
|
|
ARIS Business Publisher
guarantees permanent, low-cost availability of process and
enterprise architecture information via Web-based portals. Thanks
to rights-based and role- based access to process models, content
is only displayed to the relevant target group. This prevents users
from being overwhelmed and protects critical process knowledge. All
portal content is dynamically generated when the user signs in,
minimizing export times and guaranteeing up-to-the-minute
information for decision-making. |

ARIS SOA Architect
enables users to design an SOA based on the business processes
deployed in the various departments. The Service Browser in ARIS
SOA Architect makes it easy to identify services for automating
business activities. Because services are linked to business
activities in the ARIS process model, executable BPEL processes can
be generated automatically. After the BPEL processes have been
exported, they can be executed on platforms, such as, Oracle Fusion
Middleware, MS BizTalk, IBM WebSphere, BEA WebLogic, Fujitsu
Interstage and SAP XI.

actual processes, ARIS PPM generates intuitive management
dashboards that display the current corporate objectives and
communication relationships. An integrated early warning system

in the event of deviation from planned values. ARIS PPM thus makes
a key contribution to achieving sustained improvement in business
processes. |

To optimize processes,
businesses need meaningful data that provides insights into
different aspects of a workflow. This data normally consists of key
performance indicators (KPIs), which are derived from the
operational process. By combining process structures with KPIs, it
is possible to reach precise conclusions about issues, such as,
process costs and personnel requirements planning. ARIS Business
Optimizer is a Web-based tool for process optimization using KPIs.
It delivers process transparency by modeling operational structure
and process organization, while also providing insights based on
KPIs for IT and cost management activities. ARIS Business Optimizer
helps users to define best-practice procedures and make informed
decisions. |
A number of
templates, reference models and frameworks are also available with
ARIS Platform, including for SCOR, ITIL, eTOM, ISO9000:2000, TOGAF,
Zachman, DoDAF, TEAF/FEAF, ArchiMate, SAP industry reference
content, Oracle and industry specific process models from IDS
Scheer. Finally, ARIS supports paperless certification according to
many well-known standards. |
