I found the heart of ARISalign!!!

Though being a big supporter of ARIS Community and ARIS Express, I was curious to test ARISalign after the huge press feedback around CeBIT. So, I went to arisalign.com , registered, and tried to find my way through the several possibilities to click. I recognized that I can send and receive messages, connect to people and get people recommended I might know. All these functionalities reminded me...

ARIS and webMethods integration

Overview With the shipment of ARIS SR 2010_05 also the integration with webMethods 8.0 (SP1 with Fix pack 2) was officially released. There were already some questions in the community about the scope of the integration or the next steps. In this article I want to give you some insights and show how the integration approach works in detail. The first integrated use case we support is “Process...

I love ARIS Express, why should I care about ARISalign?

I am pretty sure that there are many, many happy users of ARIS Express that visit ARIS Community regularly and I suppose that at least some of those have already started to wonder about the noise around ARISalign and how it fits together with ARIS Express .

Criticizing BPMN

Somehow I knew this was going to happen... The BPMN notation is a hot topic nowadays and if you criticize a hot topic, you get blamed, because you are against it . Well, I don’t have a problem getting blamed, but I want to take the chance to clarify some points.

Criticizing BPMN

The biggest BPMN nonsense ever!

We just created a new BPMN Community group to discuss BPMN modeling, BPMN specification, BPMN best practices, etc. Feel free to join! To kick off the discussion, I like to collect some BPMN best practices. BPMN was designed by a big vendor committee and not by users. This usually leads to a very complex specification containing a lot of things nobody needs. Don't get me wrong here: I don't blame...

Collaborative process discovery

Business process models and related diagrams such as organisational charts or data models make the tacit knowledge of domain experts explicit. It is one of the hardest tasks of modelling experts to identify those people with the necessary process knowledge and to motivate them sharing it. Usually, workshops and interviews are conducted to collect this knowledge. Later, a modelling expert turns...
