2 12: The Proven Approach to the Model-based Management of your Innovation Processes Product Philosophy The principles of model-based, collaborative work are the basis of all editions of the Modeling Suite:? Model-based development philosophy Inmation objects such as requirements, business processes, software, enterprise and database architectures are all displayed in a central inmation model. True - IT Alignment Specialist fields and the IT field utilize a central model in order to develop their specific aspect of a joint project. The traceability of the inmation provides transparency on how the specialist field's requirements are to be implemented in the IT area. Development in allotted teams All the disciplines involved in the innovation process contribute their aspects to the central international model, irrespective of their location, and have access to the model parts of relevance to them based on a central role and rights concept. Generating instead of manually creating The integrated inmation model is the basis analyses, reports and documentation. These valuable perspectives are automatically created - always complete and always consistent. Understanding Contexts and Factors Integrating the central inmation model beyond the boundaries of disciplines provides the parties involved a general overview and understanding of the implications of changes. Disciplines supported by All the disciplines involved in the innovation process utilize a respective role-specific optimized edition of : Architecture Requirements Anderungsmanagement Management Geschäfts- prozess- management Process Management Datenbank Architecture Analysis Analyse Architecture Solutions A multitude of different application scenarios with specific optimized solutions are supported on the basis of 12: Model-based software development From requirements, business processes, the analysis model to the design model, to develop an integrated inmation model. Traceability exists all model phases. The model is used as a basis routine tasks such as documentation or to generate code or to produce a specification using an automated process. The consistency of the inmation model over several levels provides an approach a highly effective Change Management system, including Impact Analyses. Data Modeling, Intelligence and Big Data Models are used to display the relationships between heterogeneous source systems. This ensures consistency and traceability between the specialized and the technical aspects. Data and process models are used to create complex analyses that are consistent, easy to understand and re-useable. Models are the basis generative database processes, reports and analyses. Process Management processes are modeled in BPMN and are put into context with services, sources of data, mask flow and many other architectural elements. The costs and runtimes of processes are analyzed, optimized and dynamically visualized. Approved processes are published in smartfacts. Process models are executed directly via interfaces to runtime environments. Requirements, Engineering & Management Requirements are integrated into the model using a Table Editor or charts, and versioned using the model. Alternatively, requirements can be updated in MS Word and Excel and synchronized to revolve with the requirements model. Full traceability exists between the requirements and the other modeling levels. SAP Life Cycle Management Requirements and specialist processes are illustrated using a model. Technical workflows are synchronized directly between and the SAP Solution Manager. This safeguards the traceability between the requirements and the specialist model as well as the technical implementation. The analysis of various solution options is supported using portfolio and potential analysis. Architecture Management and IT Modeling Various architecture frameworks can be displayed as a reference within and these can be implemented directly, e.g. TOGAF. Existing frameworks can be adapted easily. Various open standards by the "The Open Group" such as ArchiMate 2 are used this. The management of complex enterprise architectures (SOA or EAI) are supported.

3 Consistent models are the basis efficient collaboration between all disciplines involved in the innovation process. process modeling with BPMN 2 Management of textual requirements Analysis of requirements with mask flow diagram and sample applications Modeling of organization structures Modeling of business objects and business objection states with UML 2 Mapping of models using and models Process animation and mapping visualization review purposes Analysis of process costs and throughput times Seamless integration with MS Word and Excel e.g. during the recording and outputting of requirements Process implementation from the enterprise architecture in Modeling of business capabilities and process architecture Integration of the business processes in Modeling of service landscapes and interdependencies between processes and services Support architecture frameworks like TOGAF as a result of modeling with ArchiMate 2 Datenbank The Whiteboard diagram visualizes the relationships between model elements of any diagram types The completely configurable meta-model all the model elements permits project-specific upgrades or restrictions Consistency checks and expandable model validation Documentation with adaptable reports HTML and MS Word Integrated template-based code generator framework Overall Platm Features smartfacts administers user-defined versions of the model and publishes these on the Web via the Web Portal so that the whole organization can find, comment and research details of business processes or other aspects of the solution Object-oriented modeling with UML 2 System analysis and design Mapping of and on models using, and Framework freely defined Model-to-Model transmations ( M2M-SDK) Template-based generator framework generating code and documentation Concept modeling with Entity Relationship diagrams in ISO- IDEF1X, Chen, James-Martin, SERM, DSA or UML Notation Manufacturer-independent physical database modeling schematic designed in ISO-IDEF1X-Notation Automatic mapping of conceptual data model the physical data base schematic Table Editors editing entities, tables and views Mapping of and on models using, and Flexible generating of SQL/DDL Direct "Live DBMS link to almost all popular databases Codes, dimensions, hierarchies OLAP models Data Vault modeling according to Dan Linstedt

4 Implementing high permance process and IT innovation with 12 Optimum working environment creates potentials efficiency Potentials efficiency through modeling are achieved precisely at that point in time when the staff becomes motivated to participate in the process beyond the boundaries of departments and disciplines. is available in role-based versions this reason. Every version is precisely optimized to suit the requirements of the respective role. Every contribution from every role flows into the same central model. "First Time Right Effective governance saves costs Maintaining large models requires discipline. Configuration is used to define the rules that your staff will need to observe when designing models and will implement these rules company-wide. Avoiding errors and rework releases enormous potentials cost-savings. High adaptability ensures maximum efficiency At the client and model server level, provides almost unlimited adaptability. Client-sided plug-ins, server-sided scripts as well as centrally managed profiles, roles, and rights and the introduction of its own domain-specific languages make every conceivable m of adaptation and integration into existing tool landscapes possible, in addition to the standard interfaces. Sustainable BUSINESS VALUES model-based development with Cost reductions Permance in Innovation Time-to-market reductions Efficient collaboration saves time The challenge with every type of innovation consists of producing one consistent result by assembling the results of the work done by the various disciplines and the allotted teams involved. By using ONE central model, ensures that the consistency of the contributions is protected and that the participants are in a position to be able to develop a quick understanding of the associations. A quick start by using Solutions speeds up the pace Whatever the challenge may be, is prepared it: Agile development, individual software development, the management of a SOA, SAP, a launch, business process management, the management of software or enterprise architectures, the implementation of a complex Intelligence approach, has the suitable solution with which you can protect the permance abilities of your innovation processes the long-term. Standards ensure global transparency and comprehension So that large models can also be understood globally, uses internationally acknowledged standards such as UML 2, BPMN 2, ERM, SERM, Archi- Mate 2 and supports popular interchange mats such as XMI. The standards are interlinked, and where they have gaps, offers its own solutions. Improving the re-usability quota lowers costs The Open Model Portal provides web-based transparency about the existing IT assets the entire organization, as well as high permance research processes to ce the exchange between specialists, in order to maximize reutilization and lower the costs. High level of scalability integrates company-wide models has proven its scalability in a multitude of large-scale projects, some of which clearly exceed 1 million model elements. safeguards model quality In order to guarantee the high quality of your models, the observance of defined rules must be safeguarded. This occurs by means of a configurable meta-model with fine granularity which is the basis of every model, and which is equipped with powerful and comprehensive semantics. Comprehensive possibilities evaluation, validation and automatic are also available. Product quality optimization Simple access raises acceptability motivates staff from various areas/ divisions to collaborate in the innovation process as a result of simple, modern handling and many details, which make dealing with the model and the content as easy as child's play.

5 12: The leading tool concerning modernity, functional diversity and integration All the aspects of the model are illustrated in one model tree. The entire team works separately on this central inmation model. Extensive validation mechanisms already ensure high model quality and method conmity during the early project phases. Intelligent blocking concepts make real "Concurrent Engineering possible, even in large teams. Model comparisons make it possible to systematically compare and merge various versions of a model in all dimensions. Models can be maintained very efficiently in many languages. The appearance of the entire user interface resembles MS Office. Users quickly find their way around and have fun working with. The detailed view provides an overview of the assigned elements and verify the use of the selected model element. architecture layer including master plan, organizational chart, process map Layer with Use Case, class diagram, structure diagram, BPMN process diagram, collaboration and mask flow Architecture Layer with SOA artefacts, class diagram, Use Cases, status, activity and components diagram In addition to the cross-notation visualization of existing relationships, new relationships can also be created. Data Architecture Layer with Entity Relationship (ER) diagram and database diagram Various specification zones can be configured all the model elements and be displayed in the preview. Random properties and dependencies can be configured every model element; these can be edited there.

The specialist analysis as such is another process worth illustrating. The by MID appreciates the associations between the specialist model and the technical model. Gerald Holzbauer: "With the tool by MID, we are able to implement client projects successfully and in real-time. We create time advantages our clients due to its agility. Our clients experience considerable competitive benefits as a result of this." In recent years, process modeling has also become more meaningful in the BI and DWH area. In addition to the static view of data models of various levels of a Data Warehouse (load layer, historic data layer, integrated data layer, Data Mart, analysis layer, etc.), illustrating the transmations between these layers is essential better understanding. The CBR Fashion Group uses the by MID to save time and costs during process modifications and system launches, during the briefing of new staff members and to manage the requirements systematic process support. Because of the, the process models can be provided to all the staff members company-wide, while they are simultaneously documented in real-time as live company processes. In this way, CBR Fashion Group creates a maximum transparency with its staff and system suppliers. Gilbert Passarotto: "The process transparency helps to adapt our processes based on new market and company situations and enabling us to design and deliver our high demands of 12 collections per year and brand and to guarantee to do so in the future as well. The intuitive user interface in the style of Microsoft Office considerably simplifies its use the staff. Thus, the time spent using the tool guarantees an efficient utilization, even ordinary people with no modeling experience, and this keeps the training expenses to a minimum." Sensix models the business processes relevant to the CRM system with the. Sensix is thereby able to prepare structured documentation with all the process parameters as a basis an inmed system selection. Stefan Deppe: "Due to the by MID, we are able to deliver the highest quality to our clients in a short period of time. As a result of using reference processes within, we create the ideal basis the customer to establish fast and efficient processes and to optimize their CRM tasks. Customer requirements are implemented faster as a result of using the. The transparency of the processes and data allows us to respond quickly to requested changes and their traceability, even after several product cycles." was introduced the purpose of improving the database preparation process at DATEV. The users' feedback shows that they have clearly been able to improve their efficiency and consistency with. Meanwhile, the utilization of has been expanded to other modeling tasks, especially modeling the business process. Markus Ortner: "With the we put our trust in the right tool. The mapping possibility between the models is a huge advantage and allows consistency to be achieved at all model levels. No other modeling tool on the market currently offers this. This has allowed us to reach our objective of using a standard tool as a mainline tool all modeling tasks."
