Issue 2 - December 2002 WelcomeWelcome to our regular Asia Pacific Newsletter highlighting the latest news about Proforma's ProVision products. We hope that you will find this information to be useful and we encourage you to forward this newsletter to any interested colleagues. Please contact us for further information and purchasing details.
Proforma expect to release ProVision V4.2 in early January, 2003 and as a result of some changes in the product line-up, you can get a great deal by purchasing ProVision during December. Simulation will become an optional add-on, instead of Monte Carlo Simulation being provided within ProVision as is currently the case. The optional simulation will include BOTH Monte Carlo and Discrete Event Simulation. Since Proforma insist on moving current users upwards when product changes occur, this means that all users of BusinessPro and EnterprisePro will receive both simulation capabilities free when V4.2 is released. This is a saving of $5,000 per seat but it will only be possible if you purchase (or already own) licenses before the end of the year. Please email or call us to place your orders today! New whitepapers are available from Proforma which cover some highly relevant topics. For those looking to develop Enterprise Architecture Models using ProVision, check out the "Enterprise Architecture Solution" documentation which looks at all necessary modelling and planning, in order to develop a comprehensive understanding of your enterprise. For quality assurance needs, "Model Driven Six Sigma" explains the phases of this quality initiative and how to use ProVision to assist. Don't forget the Supply Chain paper entitled "Seeing clearly will inprove your SCOR" which details the Supply Chain Council best practice models now available in ProVision. If you need help justifying the purchase of ProVision to management, please see "Real ROI with ProVision".
Have a look at Proforma's Model Showroom for further details on the following industry models now available:
These industry models are now available from Delegate IT and we will be happy to provide further information and pricing.
ProGuide has been extensively revised and provides an integrated set of repeatable "best practices" process models that an organisation can successfully employ when performing model-based business process improvement, requirements analysis and application development projects. This methodology tool helps project managers, business modellers and developers define the "who, what, where, when, why and how" necessary for effective business process analysis and system development projects. ProGuide was developed by Proforma Corporation as a direct result of extensive consulting experiences using the principles of Business Process modelling, Object Modelling, Information Engineering, Application Design, Component Development, and System Implementation. The intent of ProGuide is to provide an integrated set of repeatable "Best Practices" or processes that an organisation can successfully employ when performing model-based business modelling, requirements analysis, and application development projects. The Best Practices "Process" Notebooks of ProGuide describe the different project structures, along with their activities and deliverables. These process notebooks are entitled:
In addition, a set of Modelling Techniques documents that describe detailed procedures for developing model-based deliverables is provided. This section is entitled:
Provision users who have local maintenance agreements can 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.

Version 4.2 Coming Soon Additional enhancements for Enterprise Architects are available in ProVision 4.2 with the release of two new modellers designed to support enterprise architects. The first of these is the Strategy Modeller, which allows a user to build a model that includes goals, problems, opportunities, rules and environmental influences on the same model. The impact relationships among strategic components can be visually charted and better understood. For example, the impact of problems on attaining goals, the impact of opportunities in solving problems, the impact of environmental influences on achieving goals, etc. This model can be used for a variety of purposes, such as supporting the balanced scorecard (see above diagram) approach for setting goals and measuring performance. The second modeller is the Communication
modeller. Like the Strategy modeller, it will allow a diverse set
of object types to be shown on the same model -- in this case, organisations,
facilities, locations, systems, processes, activities, and equipment.
The Communication link which ties these objects together relates
the avenues of communication that exist (or should exist) between
these objects. As an example, this model can show the communication
links that must exist between locations, the communication that
people have with processes, and relationships between organisations
where products or other deliverables are passed. ProVision Version 4.2 is expected in early January 2003. Visit our website for the latest information..
