1. Process simulation for better analysis

   Business process simulation is a technique that helps business analysts analyze business processes by simulating the execution of process flows under different situations and with different amount of resources. By performing simulation, you can study the current resource consumption (e.g. Human resources, devices, etc.) throughout a process, identify bottlenecks and improve the current business by process re-engineering and resources re-distribution.

2. Process animation for better presentation/demonstration

   Helps breaks down the presentation barrier encountered in studying process flow with static images. The Animacian tool helps analyze process flows and convert process design into an animation, which can be viewed in motion by the audience during a demonstration or presentation. Animacian helps lower risk in business process management, improve the chance of getting the processes right at the first attempt and brings better decision-making in reengineering and resource planning.

3. Business process modeling with BPMN

   OMG BPMN is a widely adopted graphical notation for designing and documenting visually any kind of business process, from a simple to very complex one. In BP-VA you can model your business process with BPMN. In addition, you can document the steps of every single activity in your model without having to maintain any separate documents. You can also identify business process elements from a written problem description with traceability maintained.

4. Let stakeholder involves

   User feedback is the precious ingredient you need to evolve towards a better process model. Therefore, a key for producing a product that favors usability is to maintain an efficient communication channel which allows stakeholder to review and express their views about your design. This allows stakeholder to approve your work, add and correct requirements timely. Users of the Corporate Edition of Teamwork Server can enjoy additionally the capability of sharing and discussing design on the Web.

5. Extensive business modeling

   Modeling a business visually helps you gain insights about a business and how it can be improved for greater efficiency and profitability. Organization chart shows the company hierarchy. Process map diagram gives a high level view of business processes. RACI chart represents the collaboration among human resources and processes.

6. Business rules management

   Document and visualize business-related words or phrases as terms with fact diagram. Relate terms to form an overview of business facts. Define and describe business operations, definitions and constraints with business rule editor.

7. Define key project vocabularies

   Build common understanding of business vocabulary among the team members and end users. Glossary in BP-VA is where you can add and define terms and phrases.

8. Easy diagramming

   Spend time on thinking your design and expressing it, not on learning and operating the tool. Whenever you want to make a change in your design, there are multiple ways to accomplish. The resource-centric interface is one of the very useful functions we have for you to create and connect shapes with few mouse actions. Sweeper/magnet, connector adjustment, instant element location with Jump To, layout (and more) are all available to anyone who wants to draw professional-look diagrams accurately and quickly.

9. Reporting

   Write your own report templates with customized layout and style. Develop report within report composer in ad-hoc manner. Export report to HTML, PDF or MS Word.

10. Mind mapping and other brainstorm tools

    Mind mapping aid organization of ideas, concepts, words, task... It sometimes helps to capture requirements and business process, too.

11. Modeling toolset

    If a pen and paper will do the job, why bother modeling with software tools? BP-VA is not a simple drawing tool but a real modeling software with a set of modeling tools to improve design quality, improve modeling efficiency, get better model structuring and increase completeness of model.

12. Impact analysis

    Perform impact analysis to analyze your enterprise architecture model before making decision that may impact the enterprise architecture. There are three ways of performing impact analysis, chart, analysis diagram and matrix.

13. Capture business process as a team activity

    You develop business process model to communicate ideas with teammates and stakeholders, and to establish common standards and conventions. It is important for development team to work closely and without communication overhead. BP-VA team collaboration support enables development team to model concurrently and collaboratively through the integration with Visual Paradigm Teamwork Server, SVN, CVS, Perforce or ClearCase.

14. Documenting organization data with ERD

    Identify and document organization data by standard data modeling notations, entity relationship diagram.

15. Continue with Legacy

    Migrate to BP-VA to enjoy easy modeling without re-developing the model from scratch. BP-VA supports importing a large number of other drawing and modeling tools.

16. Add your own function by developing plug-in

    Add your own functions to BP-VA by developing plug-in. Read, create, update and delete diagrams and model elements via API.
