Über dieses Buch

ARIS (Architecture of Integrated Information Systems) is a unique and internationally renowned method for optimizing business processes and implementing application systems. This book enhances the proven ARIS concept by describing product flows and explaining how to classify modern software concepts. The importance of the link between business process organization and strategic management is stressed. Bridging the gap between the different approaches in business theory and information technology, the ARIS concept provides a full-circle approach - from the organizational design of business processes to IT implementation. Featuring SAP R/3 as well, real-world examples of various standard software solutions illustrate these concepts.

A. User Benefits of ARIS
Abstract
ARIS stands for ”Architecture of Integrated Information Systems”. ”Architecture” is a designation generally used in building construction. In information technology (IT), it describes the
  • ⇒ type,
  • ⇒ functional properties and the
  • ⇒ interrelationship among
the individual building blocks of the information system.

B. Basic Business Process Model in ARIS
Abstract
In order to develop the ARIS concept, the respective object must first be studied closely, leading in turn to the creation of a simple business process model, primarily based on business expertise. This model is then enhanced by additional details, leading to the basic business process model in ARIS.

C. Developing the Architecture of Integrated Information Systems (ARIS House)
Abstract
The meta business process model at level 3 defines designation classes and interrelationships, with which actual business application processes of levels 2 and 1 can be modeled. Due to the fact that the objects at level 2 are instances of the meta level, only those objects for which classes are defined at the meta level can be utilized. Conversely, the business process types modeled at level 2 determine the structure of the actual individual procedures at level 1. Thus, meta models basically determine the capability of business process design.

D. Business Process Management Using ARIS (ARIS House of Business Engineering)
Abstract
The ARIS concept paves the way for engineering, planning and controlling business processes. We will now analyze the benefits mentioned in chapter A, plus the business, organizational and IT aspects of its implementation.

E. Modeling Standards in ARIS
Abstract
Modeling in ARIS is the manipulation of elements, using ARIS views, phases, designations and methods -- for the purpose of describing business processes. Modeling is a creative process and can therefore not be completely directed by rules. However, if certain standards are observed, it is indeed possible to classify and understand third-party models, just as it is also a good idea to establish certain quality standards and observe them.

F. Comparing ARIS with Other Concepts
Abstract
When the first edition of this book was published, only a few detailed architectural concepts for describing information systems were available, with which ARIS could be compared. In the mean time, theoretical discussion and real-world implementation of information system architecture has become more popular. Empirical information management studies show that the importance of IS architecture is acknowledged in real-world scenarios as well (see Krcmar, Informationsmanagement 1997, p. 9; Nüttgens, Koordiniert-dezentrales Informationsmanagement 1995, p. 69). Of the various methods for comparing architectures, the analysis of meta concepts now seems to be the most popular.

G. Deploying ARIS - Practical Procedures
Abstract
We will now discuss a few selected applications of level I of the house of business engineering model, showing how to achieve a maximum real-world benefit from ARIS models. These applications are
  • * Business process reengineering,
  • * Quality certification according to ISO 9000 and
  • * Knowledge management.
