Modeling

Enterprise Modeling is used to represent and define the entire organisation in terms of structure, processes, information and resources.

Model based development is the art of documenting and explaining the organisation in terms of different models. The models describe different views depending on the size of the scope or initiative within the organisation.

The advantages connected to model based development are numerous including employee involvement, faster time to market and higher flexibility in addressing different business models.

The earlier lessons learnt in the work of organization development are that documenting takes time, involves a numerous amount of people and are complex to handle and understand.

aRway can assist to reduce this complexity by using a method which includes model based development, a framework which assists in describing the structures and helps visialising the processes, the information and the systems and its connectivity.

The initial phase when it comes to mapping and documenting the processes of an organisation is to address the models describing the current state. The situations and activities occurring every day is the described in models and reused to create TO-BE models. The models wanted for change and future effectiveness.

To have a method for change, and in conjunction a framework for classifying the components could be difference between a successful change compared to unstructured and non successful implementations.

Let us assist you along the way, and in the hard work of model governance for the benefits of new changes.

Process Modeling

A business process can easily be desrcibed as an activity or task to create a certain product or service. The art of process modeling is to describe how the business processes interact with each other to address the overall business model of the organizations including goals and strategies. Process models address the following questions:

• How is the work executed
• What are we doing/ / What are our acticities
• Which systems are supporting our processes
• Who carries out the activities

Information modeling

Within an organisation it can be seen that the information handled is stable over time and a reuse and control of the information creates competitive advantages on the market. It can be concluded that the information is becoming one of the most valuable possession of the organisation, which leads to a need for taking care of the information in the very best way.

Modelers at aRway have got a lot of inspirations and techniques in the art of information modeling from Len Silverston, who in his book `” The dta model resource book” addresses the  following questions

• What information do we own?
• Where can we find the information?
• How is the information used?

System modeling:

A business system supports the organizations in the way of executing and realizing their business processes. System models are used to describe systems in terms of IT-functions, messages and other details as well as system integrations. Questions addressed ar:

• What are our systems
• How do the systems interact and integrate with each other
• What are the IT-functions within a system
• Which information is handle by the system, master or non-master relations
