ARIS toolset

[Antman]

Anybody got any experience with using this for modelling business processes?

Any opinion compared to other case tools like Enterprise Architect?

Thanks

Yes, it's crap and unwieldy and you'll only use about 10% of the functionality because setting up process simulation is too complex.

HP Application Lifecycle Management/Quality Center is a better tool for BPA.


Nimbus ES and BonitaSoft are good tools for business as usual BPM. EA is very good if you can start from a Requirements Management perspective.

I 'have' to use it because it is the tool of choice of the architects where I am at the moment. The things I like about it are listed below ...

Wow, that good!

We use QC for bug tracking but I don't know about the others, I'll give them a look tonight.

Would I be right in thinking that it is mainly for places that use SAP?

[cojak]

Generally but not exclusively, parts of BT that didn't have SAP had ARIS.

And you'll need the latest version of QC to get the best out of it.

Meant to use it at current ClientCo but managed to dodge it for now.

Without the proper business buy in and support its generally a waste of time.
