AllFusion Process Modeler - provides process, dataflow and workflow modeling in one tool.

AllFusion Process Modeler

Address the significant challenges of today's competitive eBusiness climate!

AllFusion Process Modeler, formerly BPwin®, is a business process modeling solution designed to address the significant challenges of today's competitive eBusiness climate. Whether your goal is to Internet-enable your business or to seamlessly integrate with your supply chain, AllFusion Process Modeler can help you develop a blueprint of your eBusiness and clearly articulate your strategy to partners, suppliers and members of your organization.

AllFusion Process Modeler provides process, dataflow and workflow modeling in one tool, to serve the needs of both business and technology analysts. It reuses key modeling information across these perspectives to identify points of conflict and ultimately achieve consensus. With process modeling, developers can systematically analyze the business, focusing on the tasks that are regularly performed, the controls that exist to ensure they are performed properly, the resources needed to perform a task, the results of a task and the input (raw materials) on which the task operates. Dataflow modeling focuses on the flow of data between various tasks, including how data must be stored to maximize availability and minimize response times. Workflow modeling focuses on a particular process, analyzing the individual tasks involved and the decisions that affect its progress.

Keeping Pace With Accelerated Change

Today’s information revolution is fundamentally altering the way companies conduct their business. Competing in “Internet Time” means quickly responding to new opportunities, new threats and more sophisticated customer expectations. Constant change is the norm and not the exception. As eBusiness processes become more complex, organizations need a solution that provides an integrated view of the company’s operations.

Managing Complex eBusiness Processes

AllFusion Process Modeler is a business process modeling solution that provides the framework for understanding business processes, determining the impact of business events and defining how processes interact with the data flowing through the organization. AllFusion Process Modeler enables developers to:

Ensure operational efficiency by assessing current business operations through powerful modeling tools.
Improve eBusiness processes by formulating and evaluating alternative responses to market pressures.
Quickly eliminate unproductive activities by rapidly and intuitively communicating operational changes.

Inefficient, wasteful or redundant activities can be easily detected—and subsequently improved, replaced or eliminated—in accordance with corporate objectives.

Coordinate Multiple Business Perspectives

From Business Detail to Enterprise Concerns

AllFusion Process Modeler enables viewing and managing operations at various levels of detail, focusing on a particular line of business.

AllFusion Process Modeler allows developers to split complex process models into more manageable work packages, and then enables them to merge split models back into a coherent model and achieve design consensus.

Distinctive Features

Customizable Spreadsheet Interface. The new dictionary framework makes entering and managing model information quick and painless. The easy-to-use interface provides a superior mechanism for populating models.
Design Process Automation. AllFusion Process Modeler automates many tasks usually associated with building process models, providing the semantic rigor needed to ensure correct and consistent results. Object highlighting guides developers as they build the model, eliminating many common modeling mistakes.
User-Defined Properties. Developers can customize AllFusion Process Modeler to capture information relevant to the business. This information is immediately available from the AllFusion Process Modeler report writer and can be exported to other programs such as Microsoft Word and Excel.
Swim Lane Diagrams. Swim Lane diagrams are supported, providing an efficient mechanism for visualizing and optimizing complex processes. These diagrams organize processes across functional boundaries, and enable developers to view processes, roles and responsibilities.
Organization Charts. Organization structures impact how eBusiness processes are defined and implemented. AllFusion Process Modeler supports the explicit definition of roles, which define and categorize tasks or jobs within an eBusiness process.
Modeling Techniques. AllFusion Process Modeler provides integrated reuse and coordination for Business Process (IDEF0), Workflow (IDEF3), and Dataflow (DFD) modeling techniques.
Cost and Performance Metric Analysis. AllFusion Process Modeler provides full support for activity-based costing (ABC), and is optimized for process analysis. Comprehensive reporting and a bi-directional interface with dedicated ABC tools makes it easier for companies to implement an activity-based management strategy.
Report Template Builder. The Report Template Builder (RTB) is a new reporting engine common to AllFusion™ ERwin® Data Modeler and AllFusion Process Modeler that creates comprehensive reports and websites. Developers can define report templates that can then be applied to any of the models. This define-oncereuse- everywhere approach allows an organization to promote reporting standards.
Simulation Interface. Simulation allows developers to explore the effect of change dynamically. Different scenarios can be tested before implementation ensuring an optimal solution.
Meets U.S. Government FIPS Standards. AllFusion Process Modeler is used by successful Fortune 500® companies, the Department of Defense and other U.S. government agencies.
