Product

Module of iFAKT Polaris for business swimlane modelling that documents business processes together with the responsibilities of the roles involved.

Description

Polaris BSM is the business swimlane modelling module of iFAKT Polaris. It is used for digital business process modelling and shows how information flows through an organization, from paper to digital systems. The module detects media breaks, meaning points where information moves between paper and digital form or between two systems.

In this way, disconnected processes become clear digital workflows, and it becomes visible where automation helps most. iFAKT addresses Lean leaders, operations managers and improvement teams who want to understand and improve how work and information move through a company. Polaris BSM is one of the seven Polaris modules and works alongside Polaris VSM, which maps material and information flows of a value stream. iFAKT GmbH also lists Polaris BSM as a SaaS offer in the Microsoft Marketplace.
