Issue 1 - September 2002 WelcomeWelcome to our first Asia Pacific Newsletter highlighting the latest news with Proforma's ProVision products. We hope that you will find this information useful and we encourage you to forward this newsletter to any interested colleagues.
The new portal interface features in the latest release 4.1 of ProVision Workbench for both BusinessPro and EnterprisePro. Existing customers can download the latest update from the Proforma site at http://www.proformacorp.com/downloads/demos.asp and if you are not yet a customer, please feel free to download the new version for evaluation. Proforma Corporation has taken another giant step to help customers gain greater efficiency and productivity. They have just released ProSCOR, a set of classical supply-chain operations modelled in ProVision. ProSCOR can help you eliminate inefficiencies in your supply chain. ProSCOR provides a robust environment for managing supply-chain information. It gives you both the models and the tool set to redesign supply-chain processes, determine associated system and infrastructure requirements, and address critical issues in today's supply-chain operations. To introduce you to ProSCOR, Delegate IT is running a special program. §If you are currently a member of the Supply-Chain Council, or if you join, you are entitled to a free copy of ProSCOR. Any Supply-Chain Council member who purchases a copy of ProVision Workbench by November 22, 2002, will receive a free copy of ProSCOR. If you want to run ProSCOR on an existing license of ProVision, you can get ProSCOR at a special introductory price of $3000. To find out more you can download the latest analysis paper "Seeing clearly will improve your SCOR" at http://www.proformacorp.com/downloads/whitepapers.asp or email us. ProSCOR is based on the Supply-Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) models created by the Supply-Chain Council (SCC) and can only be distributed to SCC members. But joining is a simple procedure. To become a member of the SCC:
Once you are a member, we can send you the ProSCOR models for your review. Simply send us an email, confirm that you are an SCC member, and request the ProSCOR models. To view the models you will need a demonstration copy of ProVision EnterprisePro which can be downloaded from our website.
"Workflow technology is adjacent to the functionality offered in ProVision. ProVision's workflow model, most notably, enables an enterprise to describe their business process in great semantic detail. The workflow model then serves, at the very least, as the design for workflow implementations. " Jerry Huchzermeier (Proforma CTO). The current and future direction of Proforma's Workflow tools support is outlined in this document from the Proforma CTO.
The new version of ProVision offers extended HTML Publishing capabilities. These include the ability to add your own Cascading Style Sheets as well as navigation to child models and context displayed interpretations. Searching and list of hyperlinked objects are also available. Please browse our online
publishing example and create your own using the evaluation
version of ProVision. Provision users who have local maintenance agreements can now contact support staff directly via support@vutech.com.au or calling 61 (0)8 9402 2514 from 9am to 5.30pm WST. We have recently added a support section to our website, which contains various "tips and tricks", FAQs and forms for submitting support related questions. This will be supplemented by additional information in the near future, including a real-time demonstration of WebVision and book reviews for Business Process Modelling related texts.

New Version 4.1 just released This easy to use web like portal provides an intuitive way to graphically model, view and improve all aspects of an enterprise. With the Enterprise Portal an organization can focus on each of the fundamental business dimensions — who, what, why, where, when and how — through six integrated command centers:
The Enterprise Portal collectively represents the architecture, or framework, for an organization and its operations allowing for informed business and IT decisions. It supports popular frameworks such as Zachman, C4ISR and also can be customized to meet other internal architecture standards. “When enterprise concepts are understood and modeled, they collectively represent the organization’s operational architecture and serve as the basis for sound decision-making,” said Hugh Mensch, vice president of business development at Proforma. “With the smooth communication, quick feedback and simplified approach provided by Enterprise Portal, companies now have the support they need to build the ultimate knowledge repository and efficiently address the opportunities and challenges they face in this dynamic business environment.” Publishing to HTML will also provide a new look via Microsoft's HTML Help engine. The new utility will allow greater flexibility for the user. Users can now apply their own brand to the look and feel of the overview, model, interpretation and object usage cross-reference sections of the output. Search and object cross-references are automatically generated for each publish list; this powerful feature allows the user the ability to search and show how each object is used with the publish list of models. See our website for further details of the new features.
