Software AG announces the availability of the new ARIS Version 9 at CeBIT 2013. ARIS 9 combines the latest technology megatrends—Cloud, Mobile, Social and Big Data/Analytics—and makes them available for a broad user group within a company and beyond. The new ARIS Connect, part of the ARIS 9 platform, is fully cloud capable and can be deployed in public, private or hybrid infrastructures. Users can also access the platform via mobile devices.

With ARIS 9, Software AG delivers a platform for business process management that covers the entire range of customer needs from business and IT areas, even beyond the company’s borders. ARIS 9 addresses role-specific expertise and the widest variety of individual requirements by providing every user within a company or public administration agency with the right tools environment, product perspective and user interface coupled with the right information and data. The tools can be customized to meet project-specific needs at every level, from the metamodel to configuration of the user interface.

ARIS 9 is easy to learn and use thanks to its new intuitive and browser-based look and feel. Its intuitive handling with toolbars shortens the path between individual functions, saving users valuable time. Further, ARIS 9 provides results that are relevant for the daily business of all stakeholders, including advanced analytic capabilities, dashboard technologies, spreadsheets and simulation capabilities. Best practices and an integrated methodology guarantee added value—fast.

“An agile business structure that enables companies to align IT with business goals is a key component of our strategy of generating maximum value for our customers,” emphasized Dr. Wolfram Jost, Chief Technology Officer and member of Software AG’s Management Board. “ARIS offers high performance, user-friendliness and comprehensive functionality while supporting companywide collaboration. The ongoing development of ARIS to combine Social, Cloud, Mobile and Big Data/Analytics is attracting a lot of attention from our customers.”

To round up the completely redesigned user experience, there will be new patented symbols for visualization of processes, providing clarity and simplicity. The design makes ARIS projects even more efficient.

Now with the new ARIS Connect, part of ARIS 9, businesses can draw on the potential of social collaboration to introduce process improvements at departmental and IT levels. ARIS Connect works with a new HTML5-based client technology that also enables access via mobile devices so anyone can collaborate with anyone else—anytime, anywhere.  The product is based on a scalable cloud architecture that will support deployment in public, private and hybrid cloud environments.
