1. PowerDesigner 与业务流程建模

2. 2 Why Using Business Process Modeling? It is not technical; it is easy to use. Business users can use it to: –Describe the current business processes –Define the future business processes –Optimize business processes –Improve ROI BPM can be used to design and generate BPM and workflow standards (ebXML, BPML, XPDL, …) BPM can be used to design and generate Web Services orchestration standards (BPEL4WS, …)

3. 3 Why We Use BPM instead of UML? BPM tool is essentially for business users. It should be very easy to use. UML is more technical and more complex. It is good for designing applications but not for describing business processes. We offer well adapted tools for different usages instead of forcing all users to use UML.

4. 4 Business Process Model Concepts Start End Process Flow Decision Synchronization Organization Unit Resource Service provider, interface, operation Data Predefined Symbols

5. 5 Example of a High-Level BPM Describe system architecture

6. 6 Example of a Detailed BPM Swimlane

7. 7 PowerDesigner 10.0 BPM Features Simple user-interface Custom symbols, predefined symbols tool palette Support Simulation (use Simul8) Support Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Generate/reverse engineer BPEL4WS Generate Sybase Integration Orchestrator model Generate/reverse engineer ebXML Import/export data from/to OOM and CDM Export UML Activity diagram using VBScript Swimlane CRUD matrix (Create, Read, Update, Delete)

8. 8 Support Simuation (new in V10) Use simulation to optimize business processes (costs, delay, resources) Define Simul8 specific properties Generate Simul8 models Reverse engineer Simul8 properties

9. 9 Support Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) Support Service provider, Service interface and operation Import WSDL, UDDI browser Assign service operation to process Web Services assembling Design, generate, reverse engineer BPEL4WS

10. 10 Generate Sybase Integration Orchestrator Model Define IO specific Business Process Model in PowerDesigner Generate IO model Refine IO model

11. 11 Support ebXML BPSS Design, generate and reverse engineer ebXML Business Process Specification Schema (BPSS) Generate Private Process Options for Process Server Process Server can import the generated ebXML BPSS.
