Process Simulation and Analysis

BPM Simulation

FirstSTEP® Simulator is a desktop business process management (BPM) modeling and simulation software. It allows business users to map and model business processes and run what-if scenarios on any aspect of their model, for better business results.

Installed on individual PCs, FirstSTEP® Simulator provides business users with an easy way to map and model business process management, as well as providing a powerful statistical analysis tool and integrated discrete- simulation tool to see the effects of potential process changes.


The simulation tool is ideal for non-technical business users — the real process owners. They can use the simulator to look for bottlenecks, perform analyses on critical paths, cycle time and risk. FirstSTEP® Simulator has been used by companies in finance, manufacturing, energy, life sciences and other industries for re-engineering projects and to increase business knowledge.

    Benefits

    Interfacing FirstSTEP® Simulator delivers business process modeling and process simulation to business users.

    Ease of use creates greater buy in Interfacing FirstSTEP® Simulator was designed for business users, not for technical gurus. Because it is easy to use and has an intuitive interface, people will use it.


    Make better decisions The simulation tool allows users to create "what-if" scenarios to provide them a better understanding of how process changes might affect their business.


    Provides a structured modeling process Interfacing FirstSTEP® Simulator provides users with a structured way to build process- modeling diagrams. This guides users and helps keep them focused on business process management.


    Promotes a process-centered environment Interfacing FirstSTEP® Simulator maps, models, and manages business processes. The act of documenting your processes will begin to transform your organization from a silo-centered company to a process-centric (or integrated) one.


    Creates a business process knowledge baseUsers can publish process models to HTML and other formats to share business process management knowledge with other users.


    Compatible with workflow engines FirstSTEP® Simulator is fully compatible with the emerging workflow engine standards, BPEL and BPMN. That means you can export your process maps to a business process automation tool.


    Export to HTML or EPC Share your process models with colleagues or export to our enterprise-wide modeling software, the Enterprise Process Center® (EPC).


    Generate comprehensive reports Create useful reports on your processes automatically and share with colleagues to make better-informed business decisions.

    Runs on stable platform  Interfacing FirstSTEP® Simulator runs on the popular Windows XP platform. Windows 2000 and Windows Vista are not supported.
