Challenge	AVIC, a large-scale enterprise managed by the central government of China, was facing pressure from the aviation industry to improve its processes. The company had no top-level design and individualized processes with no collective strategy. The business and IT strategy were misaligned.

Solution	AVIC chose Software AG and the ARIS solution to support and unify its AOS process architecture. Software AG’s ARIS is a process-oriented model architecture based on the idea of information integration. The core idea of ARIS is to describe the various aspects of enterprise business in terms of multiple views, multi-level, multi-relevance and lifecycle. Software AG consultants worked with AVIC to conduct a comprehensive analysis to identify key process issues using their process-oriented modeling philosophy. Next they supported AVIC to describe, understand and improve the present situation of the enterprise. A series of metamodels from ARIS was deployed to establish where efficiency gains would be. Finally enterprise process management activities were implemented through ARIS in the IT environment and throughout the business. Read More Log in to view content
