Embarcadero ER/Studio Business
Architect is a process and conceptual modeling tool that enables
architects to easily document business processes and how they access
data. Bringing together the simplicity of a drawing tool with the
rich semantics of the BPMN standard, business users can easily model
the relationships between processes, people and data with ER/Studio
Business Architect.
BUSINESS PROCESS MODELING BASED ON THE BPMN STANDARD
With ER/Studio Business Architect, companies can easily document and understand their present day business processes, making it easy to examine, analyze, and recommend changes. After analysis, companies can then use ER/Studio Business Architect to design and codify changes to processes, and even manage and communicate interim processes used to affect those changes.
CONCEPTUAL MODELING FOR TOP-DOWN DATABASE DESIGN
Using the conceptual modeling capabilities in ER/Studio Business Architect, it is easy to create a highlevel visual representation of your business. This easily-understood model will help you get buy-in and clarification on requirements as you begin your top-down database or business process design.
ALIGN TECHNOLOGY WITH BUSINESS GOALS
By modeling the relationships between business processes and their underlying data, companies are better able to take advantage of their technology. ER/Studio Business Architect makes it possible to do things such as identify all business processes that modify customer data, or determine which business users will lose productivity when a system outage occurs.
COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS
Tying together an understanding of business processes, what sensitive data elements they interact with, and what individuals are involved is a key element in reaching compliance with government regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA, or Basel II. With ER/Studio Business Architect, both business and technical users can work together to assure the business meets appropriate government regulations.
