Improve your vital signs BPR - Business Strategy - Business Processes - Workflows

ProVision - Business Edition allows business users to define, document and improve their business strategies and business processes. It is the only business modeling tool that incorporates high level BPR strategy modelers with process and workflow modelers. In addition to defining your processes and workflows, the Business Edition allows for the analysis of multiple cost and timing scenarios to optimize or reinvent business processes. ProVision supports the leading BPR and process improvement methodologies such as Rummler-Brache and IBM's LOVEM. It can easily be customized to accommodate changing and evolving corporate standards. Models can also be translated into simple English statements at the click of a button, so everyone can understand the business requirements and processes.

The primary advantage of ProVision's sophisticated repository is the business processes are stored in intelligent, reusable models. Unlike simple drawing tools, ProVision Workbench keeps the models consistent and does the tedious redrawing as the processes are refined and changed. The repository also provides an easy transition from the business vision to application development.

    The best models for business

         (For more detail, click on the icon or the model name)

	Business Interaction Model (sometimes called a Relationship Map).  A business interaction model profiles all or a portion of the business showing the organizational boundaries within the business, and the interactions between these internal and external organizations.
	Workflow Model (sometimes called a Process Map).  A workflow model is a representation of a business process in terms of its component activities, and the flow of work among the activities.
	Use Case Model.  For each business interaction, the Use Case Model can specify the external “actors” who are involved, the nature of the communication which takes place, and the portion of the business supporting the interaction.
	Organization Model. An organization model is a hierarchy used to structure markets, organizations, and roles.
	Goal Model.  A goal model is a hierarchy that organizes the goals discovered for the business.
	Location Model.   A location model is a hierarchy that organizes the locations discovered for a business domain.
	System Model. A System modeler enables you to develop a decomposition structure based on your system object types.
	Process Model.   A process model is a hierarchy which structures business domains, business processes, and activities.

The business models from the Business Edition can be used by systems developers in the Enterprise Edition for further analysis and development via UML-compliant object modelers. Information captured in the business models provide the foundation to design the objects, specifications and databases necessary to implement computer applications.

Since PVW's business and object models can be easily understood by both business experts and information technology (IT) specialists, the systems development process benefits in several ways:

• Communication between the business experts and the IT staff is improved, so the resulting systems are more like what the business people had in mind.
  
  Information captured in the business models is directly reused by the IT staff as they design the objects, specifications and databases necessary to implement the business vision. Nothing is lost in the hand-off from business to IT, and IT does not have to recreate the work already done by the business staff.
  

• PVW Enterprise Edition interfaces with several popular client/server development tools, enabling IT to create visual prototypes prior to programming. This allows future users to get an earlier look at the systems being developed for them. It also reduces the workload of the systems development staff.
