Increase productivity of your ARIS® tooling

This solution addresses the compliant integration of process models using Microsoft® Visio® and SharePoint® with the ARIS® platform. Optimize your TCO by saving costs without loss of functionality.

BPM X ARIS VISIO

Example for linking ARIS with Visio.

More flexibility for enterprise analysis and modeling

Enterprise architecture (EA) or business process management (BPM) is a collaborative corporate effort and involves different types of users. Process owners, consultants or business analysts mostly favor easy-to-use tools for e.g. process mapping or managing changes. Enterprise architects or process engineers may prefer more complex modeling suites like ARIS®.

BPM-Xchange® is an enterprise integration, modeling and analysis suite which offers the accessibility and the familiar comfort of Microsoft® Office Visio® aligned with a strong methodical control and modeling safety typically only found in much more expensive tools. Apart from that, the BPM-X Designer seamlessly integrates with Microsoft® SharePoint® technology with an optional model repository and comes at a highly competitive price.
Flexibility and real openness make BPM-Xchange® an attractive choice for many enterprise management initiatives.

Benefits of using BPM-Xchange® together with ARIS®

There are a number of good strategic and economic reasons to consider BPM-X Designer.

Strategic advantages

  • Have satisfied users and simplify your project lifecycle.
  • Enhance the acceptance for your initiative by including business users and process owners.
  • Boost your productivity as a result of increased usability for process modelers.
  • High level of conformity with respect to modeling standards (e.g. BPMN™, ARIS® method, VAC, EPC, FAD etc.).
  • BPM-Xchange supports Microsoft’s cloud offerings (Azure™, Office 365™).

Economic profits

  • Optimize your license fee structure and maintenance efforts by using enhanced Visio® for professional modeling and process mapping.
  • Lower training and support costs.
  • Optimize your TCO for ARIS® based enterprise management landscapes.
  • Attractive pricing even for small budgets.

Use cases we focus with this solution

BPM-Xchange® allows to build scalable EA and BPM solutions: starting with Visio® on a consultant’s notebook up to a full-blown enterprise repository with governance workflows, versioning, and analysis tools.

Export the ARIS® database to Visio®
Often project deliverables have to be created in Microsoft® Visio® format. The data can be exported from ARIS® by simply using the standard ARIS® XML export which creates an ARIS® markup language XML file. BPM-Xchange® reads this file (and some configuration data describing the modeling conventions) and creates the Visio® files on-the-fly with the ARIS® look & feel and folder structures.

Migrate from legacy Visio® to ARIS®
BPM-X’s strong conversion engine transforms any model formats like Visio® into the ARIS® format much better than native ARIS® does. While converting the data, the clever engine translates the Visio® stencil into an ARIS® convention. This allows for the harmonization of model data from different diagram types into ARIS® standards.

Employ Visio® as a smart front-end
When using the BPM-X Designer plug-in, Visio® is extended for full modeling support. Extended Visio® can handle ARIS® object definitions, occurrences, special data attributes, model assignments and drill-downs, multiple content languages, method language, model types like BPMN 2.0 and any kind of ARIS® model types including swim lane-based ones. BPM-X pushes Visio® to the level of a professional modeling tool without changing the spirit of Visio®.

Process bi-directional integration
With BPM-X’s powerful integration capabilities, Visio® can be seamlessly linked with ARIS®. Data is mirrored from ARIS® to Visio® and back.

Publishing ARIS® data to open formats
It is convenient to use BPM-X for the publishing of ARIS® data with HTML, SharePoint® or web-based reporting.

Replace ARIS® by the BPM-X solution
ARIS® is fully replaced by using the BPM-Xchange® enterprise repository based on SharePoint® and Microsoft® SQL Server®.
