Application Remodeler™
Analyzer Remodeler generates UML® models of existing business processes.
Application Remodeler captures UML standards-based models of business processes, allowing organizations to better control operations and harness their massive investment in existing legacy 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 legacy application modernization.
Application Remodeling Business Value
Your applications automate core business processes. But over time, your understanding of the structure and function of these processes declines due to rising complexity. Application Remodeler allows your team to recapture and control the business processes embedded within your application portfolio. This intelligence is the first step toward better governing your business processes. Application Remodeler delivers:
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 EclipseŽ environment, Application Remodeler can readily supplement organizations' existing process discovery and subject matter expert interview methodologies.
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 legacy applications, ensuring a thorough understanding of business processes.
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.
Application Remodeler supports a broad range of industry standards including UML and XMI. Unlike modeling tools tied to proprietary technologies, Application Remodeler allows an organization to connect its preferred standards-based Business Process Management Suites (BPMS) or UML modeling solution to use the generated "as-is" model as the foundation for transitioning to its "to-be" model. Even once the models are transitioned to another technology, users can connect backwards from a process or rule to the existing code, to better understand the original implementation of a process.
Further, once an Application Remodeler initiative has been executed, the organization has access to a wealth of insights about the nature of the application within the standards-based Modernization Workbench repository. This provides a foundation for the execution of other follow-on application modernization initiatives.
