商业流程建模 (BPA)

Gartner 说三个建模技术要连结在一起

• Gartner research note decembre 2003

• Strategic Planning, SPA-21-5951 - M. Blechar

Predicts 2004: BPA, UML and Data Modeling Converge

« Techniques such as business process analysis are converging to

provide technical architects, business modelers, developers and

database designers consistency, productivity and quality via

reuse and code automation. »

« …Vendors such as Sybase (PowerDesigner) and … offer single

products that span all three markets. Most UML modeling tool

vendors already have some BPA and database design support in

their tools, and vice versa. … »
