New Enterprise Portal for ProVision

Southfield, MI, July 22, 2002 -- Proforma Corporation, the leading provider of enterprise-wide modeling and simulation tools, will release the Enterprise Portal, a powerful new graphical user interface for the ProVision tool-set on September 1, 2002. This easy to use web like portal provides an intuitive way to graphically model, view and improve all aspects of an enterprise. With the Enterprise Portal an organization can focus on each of the fundamental business dimensions—who, what, why, where, when and how—through six integrated command centers:

· Strategy Command Center (why) – models the goals, opportunities, business rules and problems, enabling an organization to define its strategic initiatives

· Organizational Command Center (who) – provides an understanding of the organizational structure by defining the key players and their roles

· Communication Command Center (where) – represents the relationships within the enterprise and outlines the communication patterns that exist

· Process Command Center (how) – identifies business functions, processes, and activities

· Work Flow Command Center (when) – charts when that work occurs and analyzes the impact on cost, timing and resources

· Business Class Command Center (what) – defines the data necessary for intelligent system design to support the processes and work flows

The Enterprise Portal collectively represents the architecture, or framework, for an organization and its operations allowing for informed business and IT decisions. It supports popular frameworks such as Zachman, C4ISR and also can be customized to meet other internal architecture standards.

“When enterprise concepts are understood and modeled, they collectively represent the organization’s operational architecture and serve as the basis for sound decision-making,” said Hugh Mensch, vice president of business development at Proforma. “With the smooth communication, quick feedback and simplified approach provided by Enterprise Portal, companies now have the support they need to build the ultimate knowledge repository and efficiently address the opportunities and challenges they face in this dynamic business environment.”
