Solution	The company chose Software AG’s ARIS to first master business processes and then the broader capabilities of the Digital Business Platform to be able to quickly adapt, pivot on demand and stay future-ready. ARIS was chosen because it could not only display processes but actually shape them and could scale to handle the level of complexity and massive amount of information involved. After licensing the full ARIS suite, the company began using ARIS to capture and model all the main business processes in all departments in all of its many divisions. ARIS helped optimize them and speed up the work of the company in service to its customers. Process offices were created at division and department levels to speed execution. With ARIS Architect & Designer, core business processes were highlighted, improved and standardized across all divisions for the very first time. Read More Log in to view content
