Any initiative to improve the processes of an
organization should cover the full spectrum of
optimization phases: from strategic process
decisions to implementation, execution and
control and then back to strategic modifications.
This process lifecycle is reflected in Software
AG’s Business Process Excellence Model. Each
phase is supported by different software
products from the webMethods and ARIS suites
that have one thing in common: they are all
integrated so that only one process model is
necessary. This does not only reduce imple-
mentation costs but also helps you to
Get there Faster!

the process led transformation approach
addresses today’s customer needs:
Innovation• – based on a real-time view on
the performance of the enterprise
Process Optimization• – cross-functional and
end-to-end
Design and Execution• – based on a single
process model
Integration• – business processes and IT
systems
Example of process innovation
Accenture developed a process-led transforma-
tion approach based on Software AG’s Business
Process Excellence offering. This will boost the
value for organizations by providing Accenture’s
global delivery expertise and knowledge
captured in leading process reference models
for more than 20 industries and functional areas
housed in an ARIS-based repository. These
assets are a key accelerator for implementing
client specific enterprise process assets and
provide operating models, process hierarchies,
workflow definitions and capability assessment
models. A key performance indicator (KPI)
framework supports the definition of KPIs that
enable the monitoring and optimization of
processes. Underlying IT frameworks support
the implementation of business processes on a
service-oriented architecture.
True business transformation and optimized
service delivery can be supported through
composite systems design – a powerful
platform for process automation.
Integrated dashboards provide the real-time
business monitoring and analysis capabilities
based on KPIs that are relevant for the
enterprise – straight from systems that the
business processes are implemented on. This
improves transparency, flexibility and agility of
process management and will allow optimizing
systems as and where needed.
