While my last article explained how to determine your process costs and times by means of ARIS scripts, I will now provide information on how to obtain an exact calculation of the process costs by using ARIS Business Optimizer. The problem that needs to be solved for every process is to find out what are the individual cost items and to determine the amount of costs for the functions and cost...
When I started to delve into the ARIS world some years ago, I was surprised that it is very common to have several ARIS databases. This came as a surprise, because I always thought the main idea of all this modelling effort is to create a unified enterprise model stored in a single repository. Still, many customers use different databases to document different domains like sales and product...

First I check, whether there is a direct relation available and yes it is, with two different...
Would you prefer to compare apples with apples (well, I do not mean 3G with 4G) or apples with carrots? I assume that being in a supermarket and looking for some healthy groceries instead of mixing them you would rather compare the same kind of fruits or vegetables. Interestingly, the same is true for enterprise architecture management tools! So looking for a way to automate EAM capability...
For the third time the Dutch SAP users group (VNSG) organized this BPM event. The SAP BPM framework was used to position the different presentations and the questions of the forum discussion. SAP BPM framework The program consisted out of the following 3 parallel tracks:

Such a topic could easily attract philosophical speculations. However, the intention here is to make a short and pragmatic walk within the territory that's common for this community. And I hope it will kick off some fruitful discussion. Models in time Let's review the all too familiar transformational tenet "AS-IS/TO-BE" with three aspects: reality, models and time. It will again be a model...
