Business process transformation wizard: A bridge between business analysts and business process transformation technology

In spite of many advances in business process modeling and simulation technologies, their adoption by the business analyst community has been primarily limited to specialists. We propose a Business Process Transformation Wizard as a tool to bridge this gap. This enables users to easily analyze their performance using quantitative technologies by using a business process transformation patterns library to explore different transformation options and by showing the minimum and most commonly required information that can drive transformation initiatives. In this paper, we explain the approach encapsulated in the BPT Wizard. © 2007 IEEE.
