About

Corporate Strategy is what should drive all business goals. In order to make sure that these business goals are supported in an optimal way it is important to map the strategy to the design of operational processes.

Some processes become subject to a Process Automation effort so that the implementation of these processes and then finally there execution becomes essential (model to execution).

The ARIS platform is used to model business processes or change them and, in a next step, the new or changed process needs to be implemented and automated in Software AG Designer. The transitions back and forth between the business-facing ARIS world to the IT centric webMethods world is necessary.

The basic configuration of such a system consists of ARIS 10.0 and webMethods – version 10.0 with the Software AG Designer 10.0.

ARIS Business Publisher is an optional component to enable the publishing of the processes.

This enables a larger number of users to display the processes designed and implemented for execution.

This document covers the configuration of the ARIS components. For the installation and configuration of ARIS and webMethods please refer to the installation and configuration documents of the components.

Optional:

CentraSite is used as the central repository for services which are needed in such automation. The basic configuration of such a system consists of ARIS 10.0 and webMethods – version 10.0, which consists of CentraSite Community Edition 10.0 or CentraSite ActiveSOA 10.0 and Software AG Designer 10.
