ARIS Process Governance

Govern your processes.

Capabilities

Flexible, Efficient Process Management

Achieve end-to-end control of BPM processes

Use ARIS Process Governance to improve BPM processes that involve many people—such as change management, document control flow, change requests and requests for new models or objects in ARIS projects. You also can automate administration tasks to ensure quality, consistency and control.

Governance process modeling

Governance processes are modeled in ARIS just like in any other process. They can be represented with various levels of detail (such as value chains and event-driven process chains) in ARIS Automation Architect. This sequential representation is enhanced by a role view, which assigns process steps to the relevant employees.

Modeling governance processes

Easy-to-use dialog designer

Use the simple drag-and-drop dialog designer to quickly create input templates for subsequent automation. Thanks to predefined form fields, you can quickly create screens in a structured way.

Drag-and-drop designer

Task automation

Using Web services, you can invoke and combine functionalities of different systems, such as ARIS and SAP, within the process flow and make them available for execution.

You also can use Web services to initiate internal administration functions, such as versioning, merging, model locking and business publishing. Complex model management tasks, such as Release Cycle Management (RCM), can be accomplished easily and consistently, over and over again.

Process board

Save time with a custom, role-based view of tasks. The Web-based ARIS Process Board displays a list of all open, ongoing, delegated and completed tasks. You’ll see an overview of any person’s area of responsibility within the process.

Anyone can use the ARIS Process Board. They’re guided step-by-step via the dialog screens and notification e-mails. Replacement cover and escalation mechanisms deliver extra flexibility and help ensure workflows run smoothly.

Multiple views for different stakeholders

Support for a wide range of governance processes

ARIS Process Governance comes equipped with reference models so you can quickly support:

  • Model approval procedures (release cycle management)
  • Continuous process improvements
  • Requirements management
  • Policy management
  • SAP rollout/implementation
  • Modeling and analysis workflow
  • Check in/check out
  • Audit trails
  • BPM service center processes

Modify the reference processes or design your own.

Graphical data flow designer

Create the underlying data flow, a key component of the governance process, without any programming experience. The graphical data flow designer greatly simplifies linking dialog box elements with the underlying data.

Process automation & execution

The process, displayed as a graphical model, is automatically transformed using predefined, configured patterns into a technical Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) process model for execution. This model is then passed to the automation engine, which manages execution and monitoring of the process based on the data in the shared ARIS repository.

Integration with ARIS Process Performance Manager

Measure and monitor process performance, thanks to integration with ARIS Process Performance Manager. Based on predefined Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), you can determine process throughput times—to decide if optimization is required. See process monitoring results in an easy-to-understand format.
