e1Tech Process Modeler puts a high-quality business process designer at the fingertips of line-of-business analysts. For the first time, you can create a business process in a visual design environment that is tightly integrated with the execution environment, for a high degree of precision and accuracy in process implementation.

Because models created in e1Tech Process Modeler seamlessly and transparently interchange with the e1Tech eBPM development environment, our solution has the unique capability to support collaborative design between business analysts and technologists. The resulting process designs can be tested and simulated by the analyst prior to deployment for even greater control.  And since Process Modeler is a standalone PC application it can easily be taken on a laptop to business planning meetings with the process owners, a real convenience that saves time and money.  Afterwards the process models are downloaded to the repository for further development and sharing.  e1Tech Process Modeler enables you to:

• Model and Simulate process designs before implementing them in a production environment reducing costly and time consuming test cycles.
• Automatically document processes to maintain and support compliance with new industry and government regulations.
• Store processes in a central repository for reliable access to best practices and reuse of common process elements, saving time and eliminating duplicate efforts.
• Continually optimize business-critical processes to incrementally improve operational efficiency.

Modeling & Simulation
e1Tech Process Modeler provides a graphical desktop design environment that is intuitive and simple to learn. Not only can you create a visual representation of your process, you also create process-flow diagrams that contain instructions for handling exceptions, sub-processes, and events. The resulting models are sophisticated and functional representations of your business rules and logic, for process intelligence throughout development.

The simulation environment in e1Tech Process Modeler enables business users to preview how process flow, logic, events, and rules will work together before the process is rolled out in a production environment. With simulation, you can evaluate the process flow and logic, discover and remove bottlenecks, and accurately predict performance and productivity.

Throughout the design phase, e1Tech Process Modeler will keep track of the state and logic of your process and can verify that rules and parameters are being obeyed, so you can be assured you are building logical, executable process flows.

Documented Compliance
During modeling and simulation, e1Tech eBPM software creates auditable documentation of your process, including a detailed description of the process design. Your business may need to review and update its processes in response to new government legislation such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 or the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). Complying with these or other regulations may require your organization to significantly revamp existing processes or put new measures into place. Keeping detailed records of the evolution of your processes can help streamline deployment of compliant IT systems and minimize disruptions to operations.

Process repository
Every time you build a new process model, you’re effectively capturing that intellectual property in a centralized repository of process designs. The value of this repository is two-fold: You have reliable access to policies and procedures currently in use, and you have version control for those processes undergoing iterative development.

Effectively, this central repository serves as a knowledgebase for your ongoing operations. Process documentation can be enormously useful when consolidating or reengineering composite processes that span multiple enterprise systems.

A central repository will also assist you in evaluating a range of processes to determine company-wide best practices for process design. You can reuse process elements, speeding development for new processes that are consistent with rules and logic already in place. Recycling process logic can help your organization effectively and consistently support ongoing business strategies and initiatives.

Optimization
As business conditions change, so should your business processes. e1Tech eBPM was designed to let you change your business processes quickly and simply. Because rules and logic are not hard-coded into applications, you can readily make changes and track process versions in a centralized repository. Business processes can touch every part of your organization, so your BPM solution must be flexible to adapt to unexpected changes.
