Import from various sources

From ARIS EPK to BPMN

Import from various formats and generate “real” BPMN

You can import models from various formats (XPDL, BPEL, BPMN 2.0 – XML) and generate a BPMN diagram. The following model types are supported:
  • BPMN2
  • ARIS XML
  • XPDL
  • BPEL
  • XLANG
  • Visio
  • PowerPoint
  • Excel
The illustrations show you how easy model generation from an ARIS document (EPC) is.
The technology developed by IDS Scheer called EPC notation (event-driven process chains) has its own scheme for serialization (AML System). Process Modeler includes a translation of the EPC’s algorithm which converts EPCs into real BPMN diagrams.

As soon as you create a BPMN diagram from an AML source, Process Modeler can reproduce, upon request, the original EPC diagram (see above).
