Business Benefits

Application Remodeler enables the rapid modeling and leveraging of business processes embedded within existing applications.

Application Remodeler captures UML® standards-based models of business processes, allowing organizations to better control operations and harness their massive investment in existing enterprise applications. The generated models also accelerate high-value Enterprise Application Modernization initiatives that yield more operational efficiency and flexibility, such as business process management or architecture driven modernization.

Application Remodeler is an integrated module of the Modernization Workbench® platform. Its industry-first modeling capabilities provide:

Accelerated Collection of Existing Process Flows

Application Remodeler accelerates the complete identification of business processes from within even highly complex applications. Analysts can rely on this foundation of insight to understand and validate how their business processes are executed by their enterprise applications. This ensures that the value of these processes are governed on an ongoing basis and retained following an Enterprise Application Modernization initiative. Because of its ease-of-use and integration into the Eclipse® environment, Application Remodeler can readily supplement organizations' existing process discovery and subject matter expert interview methodologies.

UML®-Compliant Environment for Refining Process Models

Application Remodeler allows users to add and refine the generated models to create UML-compliant diagrams of their business processes. Unlike ad-hoc approaches to modeling, Application Remodeler allows users to build on the proven processes embedded within their applications. Users can add and define use cases, actors, and activity diagrams that correspond to the reality of their existing applications, ensuring a thorough understanding of business operations.

Complete "Top Down" and "Bottom Up" Approach

Application Remodeler offers a complete, integrated environment to connect the "top-down" UML-models with "bottom-up" business rules that detail the execution of an operation. As analysts refine their models, Application Remodeler creates structured containers into which business rules can be organized. Then, in conjunction with the Business Rule Manager™ module of the Modernization Workbench, analysts can populate business rules into the model -- providing a total perspective on the existing operations of the organization.
