BPM-Xchange integrates different process environments and consequently moves the demand for Open-BPM. While numerous other suppliers only cover the vertical integration of the modelling tools to the implementation engines, BPM-Xchange also supports the horizontal integration of the modelling tools. As a result, BPM-Xchange meets the aspiration of many suppliers to create their own proprietary process environment.

Typically, when the establishment of process management first begins, very little structured company documentation can be found in Microsoft Office products like Visio, Word and Excel. One would find that individual organizational groups have used quite different documentation tools. Organizational charts, processes and system descriptions must be collected and structured. This task can be undertaken by the components, BPM-X Administrator and BPM-X Converter, which enable the company to analyze loosely structured Visio diagrams and to covert them into a structured form. In addition, the tools can carry out intelligent transformations, such as the automatic generation of events.

Are you of the opinion that Visio is only a drawing tool? Through the extension of Visio by BPM-X Designer, Visio is now a comprehensive modelling tool, which has its own rule engine. Objects have attributes. Borders as well as links have a meaning. Methods can be added with the help of the BPM-X Administrator. This also enables Visio to convert client specific methods or method filters from tools like ARIS^TM or Casewise. With the assistance of Visio, therefore, one can be assured of consistent modelling.

The BPM-X Converter allows the exchange between different process tools. In this way, models can be captured with Visio and BPM-Xchange and converted to ARIS^TM, Casewise or Mega. The BPM-X Converter allows many other scenarios. Mixed scenarios become conceivable. While the French like to install Mega, the Germans prefer ARIS^TM and the UK might choose Nimbus or Casewise. Such scenarios are not out of character. Models can be communicated with Visio and be processed further, for viewing purposes.

Have you been searching for a good activity-based costing process? BPM-X Converter provides access from Visio, ARIS^TM, Casewise, Mega and Control from Nimbus to the Process Manager from Horvath and Partners.

Do you want to automate your processes and convert them to Inspire from GFT? No problem, because BPM-X Converter can convert technical models in the workflow descriptive language.

Do you want to access SAP Netweaver, Oracle BPM Suite or Microsoft Biztalk with Visio, Casewise, Mega and Control? BPM-X Converter permits the linking of different modelling tools to the big SOA engines. Processes can thereby be converted in the implementation. You want to feed the Solution Manager from ARIS^TM and this should take minutes and not days? With ARIS^TM and BPM-X Converter, you can carry out this task with ease.

You want to publish your processes? BPM-X Browser provides cost-efficient publishing of processes on the Internet. In contrast to many other suppliers, no license is required for the single user of the models. With the help of Control from Nimbus, this solution can be developed as a roles-based process portal.

Therefore, BPM-Xchange cost-efficiently supports all the requirements of comprehensive process management.
