ARIS 9

Designing the Digital Enterprise.

What’s New

More ARIS 9 Capabilities

See why ARIS is easier to use and smarter to run

The development of ARIS 9 was heavily driven by the mega-trends social, mobile, big data and cloud. However, other demands shaped the new generation of ARIS products, as well. Many customers requested improvements in:

  • Transformation of business processes to execution environments
  • Mapping technical services to business processes
  • Full support of Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN™), including simulation
  • Integrated business rules modeling
  • Full interoperability with SAP®

 

Open BPM

To help you enrich process models with services, ARIS 9 adds CentraSite as a full-service registry, helping you integrate and connect service and process development life cycles.
Open BPM enables you to:

  • Automate your processes on any target system
  • Map CentraSite software services with ARIS business services to request service development
  • Update and synchronize with CentraSite software services
  • Generate BPMN process models from EPC process models based on preconfigured patterns
  • Export BPMN process models, including software services, into a serialized XML format that can be fed into any BPM system that runs on BPMN 

 

Business-level rules modeling

In ARIS 9, we have incorporated ARIS Business Rules Designer into the new ARIS Architect. This means that business rules design will be a standard feature of ARIS Architect, and every ARIS user can model processes using business rules. In addition, you can specify rules logic as a decision table facilitated by new spreadsheet functionality.

Better BPMN

ARIS was among the first to support a BPMN 2.0-compliant modeling methodology. ARIS 9 now even broadens support for BPMN so you can:

  • Integrate BPMN process models into your ARIS process architecture
  • Create and edit lanes more comfortably
  • Export your process as a BPMN 2.0 file
  • Synchronize BPMN processes with SAP® Solution Manager
  • Generate test cases from BPMN process models
  • Visualize your process discovery results in BPMN notation
  • Transform EPC models into BPMN 2.0 diagrams automatically
  • Trace changes from one model to another
  • Keep EPC and BPMN 2.0 models in sync

 

Innovations for SAP®

ARIS 9 offers innovations that improve process-driven SAP projects. Features for ease-of-use and flexibility speed up your time-to-value. We’ve expanded our scope so you can:

  • Upload any document stored and linked in ARIS to SAP® Solution Manager using bi-directional exchange of various documents. This gives the project team additional process-related documentation for configuring SAP and can be used to automatically create and upload required documents
  • Use all ARIS for SAP functions with BPMN 2.0, including SAP-related process modeling, the SAP® Solution Manager short-cut concept, process-driven testing and publishing, and use either EPC or BPMN as the process-modeling method
  • Centrally manage all relevant data for multiple projects, thanks to administration improvements.
  • Use ARIS Test Designer improvements to enhance cross-model loops, select events, capture VACD-based test paths, and more
