The core concepts of PROMET@work are:

Process modeling with the PROMET method
PROMET’s underlying hierarchical model maps all business processes from the strategic level, i.e. the optional multi-layer process architecture, up to the operational level, i.e. individual detail workflows. The use of PROMET@work facilitates the correct application of the method, provides a clear overview of navigation options within and between the individual levels, and supports model consistency. Templates can be used to adapt the modeling to individual requirements (e.g. corporate layout, additional modeling objects).

Objected oriented modeling
Object oriented modeling allows process models to be created and maintained consistently in multiple languages. Each object, such as an immaterial ‘consulting’ or a ‘material’ contract, can be used in as many process workflows as required, but each one only needs to be maintained and updated in one place. A single step in the process workflow, i.e. a task, consists of the combination of an object (noun) and an action (verb) e.g. ‘conclude contract.’ Verbs can also be deployed in a number of places. This considerably reduces the input required for translation and preparation of the same process model in a variety of languages or with regional or national process flow variations. The work required later for maintenance is also simplified significantly with this approach.

Publishing process models
A range of options is available for publishing process models. PROMET@work supports the generation of comprehensive documentations via Microsoft Word, the export of graphics to Microsoft PowerPoint presentations and the publication of interactive websites. Website generation makes it possible to publish process models on the Internet or an intranet.

Process and simulation analysis
PROMET@work provides a range of standard and individually configurable evaluation functions. The simulation function provides time and cost information regarding various process scenarios.

Decentralized modeling and reference models
Decentralized modeling enables parallel generation of process models in several locations e.g. in various departments in a company, using the same object basis. This means that, for example, a company organigram can be placed on a central server and then be integrated into various models via hyperlinks. Objects only need to be maintained in one location – the central server. Consistent overall process documentation can be generated from all the sub-models and published as an interactive website. The use and individual adaptation of reference models, such as ITIL or SAP, facilitates rapid reconfiguration of business processes on the basis of best practices and proven models.
