Guided process framework experience

Build a process architecture

  • Design a framework for baseline and target states
  • Leverage reference frameworks like APQC
  • Create multi-level process maps
  • Assign process designers and owners
  • Reuse existing assets from your enterprise model

Guided process framework experience

Design detailed process models

  • Users without a technical background can create and adjust process models
  • Workflows ensure that the right user is tasked to create or adjust a process model
  • Processes are reviewed and approved before publication
  • All processes are linked  objects making it easy to navigate and connect to the enterprise model

Business Process Management FAQ

1. What is business process management?

Business Process management focuses on how the enterprise operates and delivers an organization’s results i.e. products and services to external and internal customers.

2. Why should I model business processes in the same model as my Enterprise Architecture?

Combining enterprise architecture and business process management is critical for designing and executing transformations effectively. Essentially enterprise architecture helps organizations come to grips with changes and transformations. Business processes, in turn, deliver the products and services of the organization to customers and should reflect and implement changes with the help of enterprise architecture.

3. What's the role of a Process Architect?

The role of a Process Architect is to efficiently define and change cross-functional operational and process blueprints to deliver business outcomes successfully. Key responsibilities, among others, include to:

  • Align business processes with strategic goals
  • Collaborate and communicate to align on process design
  • Facilitate continuous process improvement
4. Why is it important to use open standards in business process management?

Using standardized modeling techniques (open standards) is important when you want to combine EA and BPM. You don’t want to be locked into proprietary solutions like some vendors offer. Open standards allow you to reuse the knowledge, expertise and best practices of a worldwide community. It supports exchanging models between various tools and platforms and using reference models for your industry.

You can create enterprise architecture and business process management models using open standards in Bizzdesign Horizzon. Our platform offers support for the following standards around enterprise architecture and business process management:

  • ArchiMate: supports modeling and analyzing enterprise (business and IT) architectures, including strategy, capabilities, processes, data, applications, technology, risks and projects.
  • BPMN (Business Process Modeling Notation): supports modeling and analyzing detailed business and IT processes.
  • DMN (Decision Model and Notation): supports modeling and analyzing business rules and processes-related decisions.
  • ERD and UML for data modeling.
