Casewise V-Modeler grants users with the ability to work in real-time with Visio as a front end to Corporate Modeler. Users can create diagrams using existing Corporate Modeler templates, edit diagrams and then save them back into the Corporate Exchange, the dynamic information repository.
Continuing Casewise’s commitment to evolve and enhance the toolset, the Corporate Modeler Suite now offers a bridge through to users of Microsoft® Visio in the form of the Casewise V-Modeler.
The Solution to Visio’s Limitations
The low cost and ease of use of Visio has resulted in many enterprises initially using Visio as a process modeling tool and therefore Visio tends to be a popular tool that architects and analysts in most organizations use when they start any BPI initiatives. With this said, Visio lacks functionality and has limitations in that it is a primarily a drawing tool meaning when you create a diagram you are creating a picture. Given this, if and when Visio users require greater functionality they should consider acquiring a complementary BPA tool with a Visio bridge.
Where Visio’s functionality is limited to producing individual diagrams, Corporate Modeler, the multi-dimensional Enterprise Modeling tool, saves time and money by eliminating duplication of effort by allowing users to capture vast amounts of information within a central repository (Corporate Exchange). The information captured can then be presented in a structured and engaging way that will improve communication within your own project teams, and across the organization as a whole.
Given this, if and when Visio users require greater functionality for enterprise and business modeling, architects and analysts should look to acquiring a complementary BPA tool with a Visio bridge.
