Process Mapping are proud to announce their Metastorm ProVision to Metastorm BPM conversion service


Process Mapping is one of the most experienced Metastorm BPM solution providers. They provide the Metastorm BPM Toolkit and Metastorm BPM Deployment Package enabling you to get the maximum benefit from your investment in Metastorm BPM. They also host the global Metastorm BPM Support Forum.

Metastorm ProVision provides an integrated end-to-end process framework for continual process improvement, business architectures and process redesign and improvement.

Metastorm BPM is a powerful technology that allows organisations to automate, control, and improve human and system-based business processes.


Organisations that have used ProVision to document their process and design new and improved processes, are then faced with the potential to convert these process designs into automated processes. This allows them to achieve some tangible benefits from their investment in Enterprise Architecture programs and Process Design work.

Metastorm provide a limited conversion utility that creates Metastorm BPM files from Metastorm ProVision Process designs. There are, however, significant omissions, such as the concept of 'Stages', timed actions, flagged actions and the data model in Metastorm BPM. There are also issues when 'Map Segments' are created from sub-processes as it is not possible to convert these to Process Maps, or to combine them.

In our experience, it is extremely rare that a process model will convert directly to an executable process. It will always need some redesign and optimisation before being fully effective. Add the need to create a coherent data model to support the processes, and integration with other systems, and you have a significant amount of work and potential for error. This is especially true for those new to the Metastorm BPM software.

As one of the most experienced Metastorm BPM solution providers, we have unparalleled experience in delivering robust enterprise BPM solutions to organisations of any size. Coupled with our experience with Metastorm ProVision, we are in a perfect position to be able to offer the service to convert your existing Metastorm ProVision process models into functional, robust, executable processes using Metastorm BPM. We are also able to employ our leading Metastorm BPM Deployment Package and our Metastorm BPM Toolkit to ensure you get the maximum benefit from your investment in both Metastorm ProVision and Metastorm BPM. These packages include administration, user management, integrated user feedback, integrated help, BAM Dashboard and email management.
