Open BPM replaces the SOA function in ARIS. The main difference to SOA from ARIS versions 7.x is that specific service information (WSDL files) can be saved and managed in CentraSite. In this case there are only service objects in ARIS that are synchronized with the specific service in CentraSite.
Before business models can be exported to execution platforms, they are first transformed into BPMN (BPMN 2.x), refined, and exported, and then imported into the relevant execution platform.
