What it does

The product extracts business processes from business applications in real time to create process models that can be used for visualization and comparison purposes to validate and extend the models and integrate seamlessly with other BPMN-enabled tools. Discovery Analyst is designed to capture process flow regardless of the underlying platform. This means as business processes flow from the consumer facing web system to call-centre facing mid-range AS/400 systems to backend 3270 systems, it can capture the business understanding as it looks to the business as a single continuous set of activities.

StereoLOGIC Discovery Analyst provides the following key functions:

Recording: It uses its patent-pending semantic recognition software to capture the screen images that are used by an organisation and associate these with process steps and decisions non-intrusively, in real time, as they are performed by the employees. It records what a user has pushed to get to a particular screen, which helps understand and map complex branching logic.
Visualization: Users can simulate recorded business process activities and associated documentation and screens.
Business Process Generation: it automatically generates business process maps in standard BPMN format and supports direct model export into Microsoft Word, iGrafx and IBM WebSphere Business Modeler for further improvement and transformation.
Measurement: It captures actual time spent by employees performing the business process, including time per activity and overall process time. These process performance metrics for each process activity and the entire process can be exported into Microsoft Excel.
Comparison: Comparison of discovered processes can be done and the difference highlighted.
Documentation Generation: Structured and traceable documentation including process maps, process steps and associated application screens can be automatically generated.
