ARIS for SAP Solutions comprises powerful functionalities, including:
- SAP software–related process design and blueprinting – ARIS for SAP Solutions provides an integrated view of SAP software–-related processes understandable by both business and IT professionals. ARIS does this by combining SAP Solution Manager process management with processes documented in ARIS, coupled with an end-to-end business requirements description.
- Testing of SAP solutions – ARIS for SAP Solutions saves time by re-using previously designed processes for end-to-end testing in order to make sure the SAP Solution works ‘as designed and expected’.
- Training, go-live and communication of SAP solutions – ARIS for SAP Solutions provides ongoing process environment information to help ensure that all active participants understand any new processes. Processes can be used and reused for communication, documentation and user training. On the one hand, users can start transactions in SAP software directly from ARIS, and on the other hand, SAP software users get transaction-related ARIS process information instead of the standard technical SAP help.
- API interface – ARIS for SAP Solutions exchanges only the relevant configuration information stored in the SAP Solution Manager and also translates ARIS models (i.e., EPC and BPMN™) into a hierarchical structure provided in SAP Solution Manager. Data exchange is bi-directional and ensures any changes are communicated to both the business and IT since the information base is the same in all phases of a project.
