ProVision Workbench (PVW) is the award winning business process and object modeling tool, from Proforma Corporation, which enables business process and information technology specialists to collaborate on defining business processes and objects for client/server and OO development. With ProVision, you can define high-level business processes and interactions, then add extensive business object details and rules at every level of your business model. You can then generate a narrative interpretation of the model, which can be reviewed by all members of the modeling team. The completed business object models can then generate C/C++, VisualAge Smalltalk, ERWin, Visual Basic, or database schemas.
