Process & Organisation modelling
Process & organisation modelling is essential to an organisation's success. To remain competitive in today's demanding business environment, companies need to improve business processes and re-design its organisation into a more efficient, lean and flexible structure.
Although ERP-implementations, process improvements and performance management projects are often used to implement organisational changes, Voorne Partners' experience shows that only a thorough analysis of the organisation and its business processes, set out in an integrated design document, the "business blueprint", will guarantee the successful implementation of your project.
Voorne Partners has developed a Process and Organisation Reference Model that enables organisations to achieve a rapid analysis, understanding and documentation of their existing processes. It comprises over 1,000 different business processes, reflecting best practice processes for most multinational companies.
This model, plus in-depth knowledge of business process modelling, organisational modelling and IT tools gives our consultants a head start in designing your processes and organisation. With your Process and Organisation model as a platform, additional business initiatives like performance management, shared service centres and process improvements can be initiated.
ARIS – Market-Leading Technology for Business Process Management
The ARIS Platform provides integrated software products that help enterprises to continuously improve their business processes. These products cover every phase of a BPM project – from strategy definition and process design to transferring the models into IT systems and monitoring process execution.
However, tapping into improvement potential as part of a BPM project should not be a one-time activity. Over the mid-term, only continuous BPM can yield sustained competitive advantages, which is why ARIS also supports the process of Business Process Management itself.
The development of ARIS Platform was the result of experience gained in more than 7,500 Business Process Management projects. Research by leading technology analysts in the fields of business process analysis (BPA) and enterprise architecture (EA) shows that ARIS Platform has enjoyed a market-leading position for over ten years due to this combination of project insights and innovative software development.
Our preferred partner status with IDS Scheer ensures a world class knowledge and support regarding a truly integrated tool to Voorne Partners in the areas of:
• Modelling, analyses and optimising business processes
• Implementation of SAP-solutions
• Design of IT-architectures (Enterprise Architectures)
• Build of service oriented architectures
• Modelling and management of company rules
• Creation of company wide systems for governance, risk and compliance management
• Implementation of process intelligence and performance management
ARIS Platform – Systematic Business Process Management
Successful Business Process Management (BPM) involves various steps: design, implementation (transfer to IT), and controlling (measurement and evaluation) of business processes. In line with this approach, the ARIS Platform software products are assigned to four specialised modules, each of which is identified by the relevant color in the product logo.

ARIS Controlling Platform
With ARIS Strategy Platform, balanced scorecard systems can be established and business processes aligned accordingly. This simultaneously creates transparency in terms of the process costs incurred by the organisation and supports Six Sigma initiatives. As a result, internal benchmarking between individual departments or sites is possible.
Using ARIS Design Platform products enables the organisational, structural, and technological weaknesses in processes to be uncovered and improvement potential identified. Process models can be published worldwide for role-based access and professional IT architecture management is possible across the enterprise.
ARIS Implementation Platform enables implementation of business processes in the IT environment. To achieve this, the platform independent process descriptions are translated step-by-step into corresponding models and diagrams. By combining the business and technology views, companies reduce the complexity of their IT projects.
ARIS Controlling Platform identifies improvement potential by evaluating and visualising executed processes from IT systems, e.g., throughput times and returns. In order to meet regulatory and legislative requirements (e.g., the Sarbanes-Oxley Act or Basel II), companies can implement internal control systems and demonstrate the effectiveness of such controls. In addition, operational risk can be regularly analysed and appropriate action taken.
Business Process Management is not a one-time project: long-term competitive advantages can only be achieved when the loop is closed. It is not just the operational processes that can be managed using this method – it can also be applied to the process of Business Process Management itself. As an operational tool for managing business processes, ARIS actively supports this entire process for all affected groups. All ARIS tools are based on a central repository, ensuring that process models are consistent and can be re-used. This means that business process design is now possible at the global level via access to a shared resource. Integrated modelling standards for describing business processes ensure that the process models can be readily understood. The latest technologies, modelling languages, and frameworks are incorporated in ARIS, helping to harness the power of BPM for day-to-day corporate management. The mantra is “simple, intuitive, and fast,” with BPM now being accessible to every employee in the enterprise, rather than just experts.
