With SAP Enterprise Modeling by IDS Scheer, you can, for example, as business process expert, use the modeling tool ARIS in the following phases of business process development:

  • Business Blueprint design phase, to design business processes from scratch

  • Upgrade phase, to redocument business processes which have been further developed in your company, to reflect the current status.
