IDS Scheer introduces process change governance

By David Worthington

June 25, 2009 — Over the past 25 years, business process management (BPM) software maker IDS Scheer has witnessed the fallout of unmanaged process change. In response, it has introduced a governance engine that will automate control processes, making change a far less risky proposition, the company says.

The company delivered a product called ARIS Governance Engine (AGE) on Tuesday. AGE is designed so that departments can define and execute governance processes independently without asking for IT support.

A BPM project team can connect people via the governance engine: It handles communication through e-mail, requires changes to be signed off on, and stores project plans, said Joerg Heistermann, CEO of IDS Scheer in the Americas. "There should be no person surprised with project changes; it keeps everyone in the loop."

Participation in process changes is not restricted behind the firewall. "Some customers have set up portals to share process changes. It depends upon the capability of the customers," he said.

AGE includes predefined reference processes for vertical industries, including the Supply Chain Council SCOR model, as well as ITIL regulations, said Heistermann. Users may also define their own rules to manage change.

Pricing for AGE is determined by how complicated the process is, he explained. "We learn about the project before selling, but we can sell the standard solution too. Each client is different."

The company also introduced freeware process modeling software called ARIS Express in May.

"Processes get changed monthly, and change and flexibility is part of business," said Heistermann. "Static tools do not support businesses."
