ARIS vs. Automation Hero

ARIS is well suited when we want to understand the interrelationship between different processes and their decencies on systems etc. It allows to create an integrated view with easy navigation from one process to another and allows to add information like metrics, risks, cycle time, FTE, etc. Overall, it is a great tool for modeling and analysis. Though it offers BPMN notation, it has limited compatibility with some other tools, hence if the objective is to implement these processes using tools like PEGA then is it not suitable. Further, it is very high priced, so for basic modeling, it might give the right ROI.

I recommend Automation Hero when you receive a lot of communications (email or fax) with a lot of attachments like documents or picture, for which there is a human operator that has to collect all the information from them and this information are basically always the same (same information, same fields, some pictures...). Automation Hero needs a little training to perform well, and this can be realized only if there is a large number of inputs. Instead, if your company manages few documents or only documents written by a human, I think Automation Hero isn't a good choice because the performance isn't good enough, and you have to dedicate too much time to the training (the value of Automation Hero is the possibility to arrange your activities quickly so if you need a lot of time, the solution is not so convenient). Also, in the classification field, I recommend Automation Hero if you have a lot of emails to manage and if you need the first classification of them before they are managed by humans (so, emails are always read by humans who provide answers, but the first step of the classification may be managed by the machine). In a few words, I think Automation Hero could work for large companies.

I am a BPM and Enterprise Architect Consultant and hence have been using different BPM and EA tools for consulting practice. Until now I have used Opentext Provision EA,Sparx EA, MS Visio and IBM Blueworks. All of the tools used are good and have their own unique features and capabilities. ARIS BPA is widely used by my current organization for different projects.

It has good, even complex functionality that is provided by its library and ability to create relations between items, yet it is not hard to use. Anyone can use it in a short time. It provides reporting abilities and good documentation with the availability of exporting options. The only drawback I have seen was user management/login issues.

Yes, ARIS is one of the leading process modeling and analysis tools with advanced reporting and modeling capabilities. It also provides a license for simulation and process mining.

Automation Hero has a great support service for its customers. They are available to work closely with our team, especially for the first steps/first implementations, and they give us a team who is confident with our local native language. When there is something that goes wrong, they have quick answers for us, so we don't have to wait for the problem solutions.

• Documentation of processes made it possible for anyone to see who does what, how and using what systems.
• Dependency on specific people is eliminated.

Incentivized

• Less IT costs because, with Hero Platforms, flows can be implemented without IT technical skills.
• Better customer services for standard questions (speed reply).
• Solutions are scalable so once you have created one you can reuse them in other departments (so the ROI for the implementation of Automation Hero must be considered for a lot of projects).
