It's vital for the company to have an overall cloud strategy. From a total cost of ownership perspective, running this on the cloud is more efficient than having someone in the company take care of the infrastructure. Apart from that, a dozen aspects of the tool itself are beneficial, and it has some strengths compared to other tools. But that isn't specific to the cloud.

We have different projects going on, and we introduced the ARIS Connect portal three years ago to gather process information faster and more efficiently. For example, my colleague in global operations needed three months to get the latest process information together when they did new projects. With ARIS, they hoped to reduce this to one or two weeks maybe. It involves searching for things in the central repository then briefly revalidating the content to ensure it's still correct or up to date. This is much easier with a central repository, like ARIS.

Generally speaking, ARIS has improved our organization by creating transparency and generating a discussion about what a process owner is and the responsibilities of process owners. Part of it is having valid documentation. ARIS has helped a lot because you can push for these things when you have a central repository. As a result, we have more information about organizations and projects, allowing them to ramp up faster. At the same, ARIS provides a basis for discussion for the end-users. Of course, it can't give you everything, but it lays a foundation for starting a conversation and getting on the same page of some content. That eliminates a lot of misalignment and misinformation by offering transparent information on something.

It's not a question if my organization should be digital or not. It really must be for several businesses to survive. 

With ARIS Cloud, we identified our goals, business processes and we turned them into a digital strategy. 

This solution has improved the way our organization does training.
