Image description

Digital transformation is now unavoidable for companies across all industries. To meet this challenge, it is essential to profoundly rethink how the company operates: its business processes, information systems, organization.

Enterprise modeling provides valuable support for leading these transformations. By representing the target operation of the company in the form of models, it makes it possible to:

๐Ÿ—ธ End-to-end mapping of business processes
๐Ÿ—ธ Designing information systems and data

๐Ÿ—ธ Define roles and responsibilities
๐Ÿ—ธ Architect digital solutions
๐Ÿ—ธ Agile piloting of transformation initiatives

Dedicated tools to take advantage of modeling

Many software tools can be used to create these models. These include:

๐Ÿ”น Open source tools like Archi or Bizagi Modeler for initial business process modeling use cases

๐Ÿ”น Integrated suites like Mega Hopex or Bonita which cover both process modeling and execution

๐Ÿ”น Best-of-breed platforms like Enterprise Architects which focus on enterprise modeling capabilities.
