About Business Process Visual ARCHITECT

Business Process Visual ARCHITECT (BP-VA) is a fast and cross-platforms business process design tool which supports Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) 2.0, data flow diagram (DFD), and organization chart. Further to basic business modeling features, BP-VA enables you to specify step-by-step working procedures to all business process elements, animating business process diagram, simulating business process diagram, generating reports and publishing project to website.

Business process modeling

With BP-VA, you can design and model your system with the following diagrams:

• Business process diagram
• Conversation diagram
• Process map diagram
• Event-driven process chain (EPC) diagram

Data modeling

Business analysts model processes with diagrams like business process diagram (BPD) and process map diagram. They model that data that is required or produced by processes using entity relationship diagram. ERD, short for entity relationship diagram, presents data in entities form, with relationships show in between, presenting the inter-relationship among pieces of data.
