ARIS vs. KYP.ai

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.

Very well suited for shared services and BPO/BPM service providers.

• BPMN, EPC based modelling of business processes
• Enterprise Architecture modelling and consulting using support of TOGAF and ArchiMate with extended packages to ARIS BPA
• Continuously evolving product based on upcoming and current industry trends
• Supports IOT modelling and also cloud based infrastructure management

Incentivized

• Very easy to deploy into the environment
• Tracking of all PC based activities
• Excellent customer support

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

Incentivized

• Ability to track activities that are done not on the tracked PC (requires manual tracking)

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.

Much easier to deploy, much less overhead when getting to the first install, certain features that are not available in other products (process mining). While KYP.ai is not a work force planning tool, it provides a great baseline product for operations tracking and management. There are enough insights to take operations to the next level.

• 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

• Getting away from manual tracking to fully digital measurement, eliminating errors and subjectivity
• Ability to optimize operator utilization and process throughputs
