Easy-to-Use Design Tool

Design processes—enterprise-wide

Save time and money with these intuitive tools to design the enterprise business processes. Describe the resources needed for the processes and environment in which they operate—organizationally, by IT system, data, products and risks, for example. Link business strategy to process and IT implementation.

Learn how to simulate and analyze your processes using ARIS Business Simulator.

Rich modeling environment

The ARIS Platform supports the entire process design lifecycle and has 200+ model types for describing the complete business enterprise. You can define the relationships between processes, the resources they use and the business environment in which they operate. Use method filters to chose just those models needed for the task in hand and to configure them to corporate standards.

Event-driven process chain

Single “look and feel”

A single “look and feel” across all the ARIS products makes them easy to use and reduces training. ARIS Business Architect provides a wide range of formatting styles and templates to improve user acceptance and understanding. Create your own symbols to represent things important to your business in a way that is meaningful to your employees.

Matrix editor

Additional modeling options are provided by the matrix editor, where relationships between objects can be created and displayed in table form independently of model type.

Easy-to-use modeling

Now process design is easy. Graphical capabilities enable you to create models quickly and present the information so it’s easy to understand. Simply placing one object on top of another automatically creates the semantic relationship.

The new context-based mini-toolbars enable fast and easy modeling especially for beginners. With SmartDesign functionality, ARIS provides a form-based approach to capturing information and directly creating the graphical model.
