Metastorm ProVision is recognized by the top industry analyst firms and by its customers as a leading technology for enterprise and business architecture due to the breadth and depth of its functionality. The software enables organizations to model, visualize and improve the entire enterprise – resulting in a thorough understanding of the cause-effect relationships between business strategy, business processes and the systems and technology that support them.
“Metastorm ProVision serves as a critical platform for planning and rolling out new applications and services at Salt River Project,” stated Susan Smith, manager of Business Process Solutions for Salt River Project. “The insight and visibility that the software provides has been instrumental to our ability to make continuous business process improvements in our customer service processes, and the cross-repository sharing capabilities in the newest release will enable us to extend its value even further within our organization.”
“Our newest release of Metastorm ProVision and its associated Knowledge Exchange repository introduces a range of enhancements that enable collaboration across multiple projects, provide interoperability at the enterprise level, and deliver enhanced capabilities to support enterprise alignment and agility,” stated Greg Carter, executive vice president of product development and CTO of Metastorm.
Key enhancements in Metastorm ProVision Version 6.2 include:
Enterprise Collaboration, Work Reuse & Centers of Excellence – EA and BPA investments can be maximized through sharing, collaboration and reuse on both a local and a global scale. Metastorm ProVision’s cross-repository sharing feature facilitates inter-repository sharing and reuse of models, objects and information libraries within a large enterprise. From a shared strategic direction, to common visibility into results, to common terminology to facilitate communication across departments and functions, Metastorm ProVision enables organizations to synchronize collective knowledge to refine business processes and align business goals and processes enterprise-wide.
Support for the Latest Modeling Standards and Frameworks – Metastorm ProVision 6.2 includes support for recently updated standards including BPMN 2.0, XPDL 2.1, UML 2.1, and DoDAF 2.0. Metastorm’s ability to support multiple standard modeling notations and frameworks improves usability, interoperability and consistency.
Enterprise-Level Interoperability – Metastorm continues its commitment to and support of its Common Interchange Format (CIF), which provides an interface to numerous open standards and enables easy integration with third-party software packages. In Metastorm ProVision Version 6.2, CIF has been extended to the Metastorm Knowledge Exchange repository in the form of a web service to provide organizations with enterprise-level interoperability of Metastorm ProVision models with other systems and applications.
Greg Carter further states, “Organizations are looking to enterprise-scale, web-based modeling and collaboration as a key to understanding the makeup of the enterprise and how to best leverage all of their people, system, information, infrastructure, product and process assets to meet strategic goals and objectives. Some of the biggest companies in the world have deployed Metastorm and rely on it for optimizing both business architecture and business processes. Metastorm is highly focused on ensuring that our software continues to meet our customer needs for modeling, analysis, collaboration and scalability as they grow and evolve.”
