Software AG has unveiled open beta of its first cloud computing offering ARISalign, which leverages Amazon web services and offers an open, global community for project participants dealing with business processes.
According to Software AG, the ARISalign comes with a flash-based modelling editor and will be integrated with ARIS Express, a free process modelling tool featuring an intuitive user interface and modelling components suitable for BPM professionals to help them make quick business decisions based on reliable data.
The company said that the new social BPM platform allows users to pull models to their local drives and model offline. Members of ARISalign can collaborate online with a ‘drag and drop’ process model to visualise new business process. Once consensus has been reached the model can be easily exported for implementation.
The ARISalign platform comes together with the support of Amazon web services to deliver a secure, reliable, and scalable infrastructure computing platform in the cloud. It also allows users to collaboratively brainstrom, collecting ideas and information about a process, using a virtual whiteboard, the company said.

Peter Kuerpick, chief product officer and member of the executive board for Software AG, said: “ARISalign is for us the ‘Facebook for enterprises. For Business Process Management experts, it offers all the things that make social networks irresistible: collaboration in real-time and worldwide availability. So experts, who normally would not get in touch with each other, can connect. This creates real process excellence, which otherwise would not be achievable.”
