Includes all features required to build one or more process maps, link them to resource maps, and save and share all maps in PDF format. For individuals or departments that need to document and share their business processes.
Also includes the ability to analyze any one processes, and to include analysis results in PDF format. For professionals engaging in process engineering efforts centered around a single process.
Also includes the ability to analyze multiple processes simultaneusly. Allows 'fine-tuning' of process analysis parameters, such as advanced decisions based on counters. Also gives direct access to the simulation engine via a powerful scripting language. For professionals engaging in enterprise or department wide process re-engineering efforts.

|
|
|
|
Do 'What If' analysis to see resource loading, and optimum process throughput as count of processes increases. |
|
|
|
|
Do composite 'what If' analysis that shows how amount of work per resource, or time taken to finish process changes as BOTH count of processes and number of available resources changes with time. |
|

BPR Advanced Analysis Features |
|
|
|
|
Build a complete analysis of ALL processes undertaken by an entire department or organization (simulate several types of processes simultaneously). |
|
|
|
|
Do complex modeling of how resources interact with processes, by the use of scripting |
|
|
|
|
Initiate business processes from within other business processes (sub processes). |
|
|
|
|
Use scripting to access the complete simulation engine embedded within Business Analyst. |
|
|
|
|
Attach 'counters' to arbitrary process flow chart locations which can count arbitrary quantities (such as number of times a process goes through that point, or amount, in dollars of cost incurred at one point). |
|
|
|
|
Make decisions (take branches in process flow chart during simulation) by comparing the values of counters |
