ARIS. Workflow system

ARIS (ARchitecture of Integrated Information Systems) from Software AG is an integrated software package for modeling, analysis, optimization and reorganization (reengineering) of workflow, preparation for the implementation of complex IT systems and support for the digital transformation of an enterprise. ARIS capabilities allow end-to-end automation and management of workflows at all stages of their life cycle—from designing a development strategy and creating a centralized business model for a company to controlling operational performance and preparing proposals for further process improvement based on analytics.

Key features:

• Planning, modeling and improvement of enterprise business processes;
• Support for EPC (event chain of processes), BPMN (business process management notation), DMN (decision model and notation) standards;
• The use of intellectual analysis (process mining) of the workflow performance, key indicators of their efficiency;
• Modeling alternative process execution scenarios (varying workflow parameters according to certain algorithms), identifying the optimal set of parameters in terms of KPI (time and material costs, resource allocation, risk probability when performing a certain business process, etc.);
• Identification of bottlenecks, formation of proposals to optimize workflow and reorganize the enterprise activities, including the implementation of information management systems, the development of quality management systems, etc.;
• Synchronization of operational business goals and corporate strategy with IT development plans;
• Importing data from Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV files or Confluence corporate wiki, automatic creation of objects with appropriate attributes;
• Supporting import and automatic recognition of Microsoft Visio drawings, organizational and other types of diagrams with a full set of attributes;
• Integration of corporate IT systems at the level of business processes;
• Visualization of workflow indicators in an interactive format;
• Intelligent simulation environment (personalized dashboards):
  • Positioning of objects in one click;
  • Self-learning quick access toolbar;
  • Dag & drop support, etc.
• Collaboration support, including distributed real-time process modeling;
• Intuitive user interface for designing business processes, strategies, structures, etc.;
• Formation of graphic and statistical reports (over 200 standard templates possible to be customized);
• Supporting cloud, mobile and social media technologies.

Key benefits:

• Single platform for the digital transformation of the entire business model of the enterprise;
• 360-degree business and IT visibility through the use of a central repository—a single source of trusted and reusable data;
• Integrity and consistency of the modeling and analysis process, support for business model verification;
• Structured description of business processes, enterprise information systems, logical data structure, etc.;
• Detailed classification, visualization and management of operational risks;
• Low-code solution for analysts to edit forkflow without the hands-on support of IT staff;
• Flexible scaling options—from 20 to 100,000 users;
• Reducing volume, routine work, improving the quality of tasks through the robotic process automation (RPA) support;
• Designing a business development strategy powered by modeling and dynamic analysis of key performance indicators;
• Improving the quality and accuracy of workflow management;
• Building an integral structure of interconnected strategic and tactical business management, more flexible response to external and internal changes;
• Making operational management decisions based on the workflow indicators analysis in real time;
• Creation of an enterprise information system fully consistent with its business goals and modern trends in the digital technologies development.
