ARIS vs. BP Logix Process Director

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.

BP Logix Process Director is well suited for designing forms and publishing workflows that need to be triggered and when forms are submitted. It has good support for communicating data to and from external systems via web services or direct database calls

• Develop forms using Microsoft Word and Process Director plug-ins - start small then use predefined Custom Tasks, Knowledge Views, and samples to create extremely impressive results.
• Integration with Microsoft Active Directory, SQL Server databases and tables, Excel, etc. - Incredibly powerful! We've taken eforms to a new level by integrating SQL queries into controls and custom tasks and embedding the results into developed forms.
• Some of the forms can get pretty complicated with controls and custom tasks. If we can't find the answer to desired activities we'd like to incorporate, BP Logix support is just a phone call or email away. Their support is awesome and very responsive.

• Has been used in multiple coe set up programs where ARIS has been super handy to use especially its modeling and documentation capability.

Incentivized

• Better support for archiving data.
• Better tools to monitor and suggest performance improvements that need to be made to make the software run faster.

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.

We initially went through an RFP process with desired and required outcomes and performance marks we were looking to achieve. At the time of evaluation, Process Director was really the only product we considered.

• 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

• I can only speak of the process I am responsible for, positive notes: the automated forms frees up our employees to do other work.
• The return rate of our self certification form has increased since we've gone electronic.
