Developed by UK management consultancy Draxmont Owl,
it incorporates methods and analysis techniques that will
support most proprietary methodologies.
ArcWorkbench covers the project life cycle starting with
initial business process analysis, through
systems strategy and system selection,
to system prototype development
and implementation.
It consists of nine application modules:
Set up Project Team users and Delphi users (key client staff).
Import and export system design objects such as database tables and application presentation screens.
Register out-of-box system design objects and system configuration requirements.
learn more about module 1...Create projects and manage user access to ArcWorkbench applications.
Associate system design objects with the project and build a project directory structure.
learn more about module 2...Create an initial Business Process Model, or import one, which can then be developed and refined.
Map system functionality to the business process model.
Identify and map current organisational activity and operational characteristics and policies to Business Processes.
learn more about module 3...Identify Business Process inputs and outputs and assess their quality.
Identify Business Process Key Performance Indicators and their potential for improvement.
