@Evgeny Belenky @Kaustubh Dani,
Nowadays, most BPMs allow you to import and export BPMN models without much difficulty. especially if you are using the out-of-the-box solution.
The model will remain intact on most occasions. However, the main challenge will be the attributes/ metadata which may not find their way to the new BPM, i.e. the export and import attributes may not be described in the same manner.
Things can get a bit more complex if there is customization from the source of import (e.g. iGrafx).
If you are dealing with a small number of process models, you can test the export and import functionality and see what attributes/ metadata are missing.
For a bigger volume of the process model, it's more economical for the new BPM consultant to prepare a script to import the model and attributes. The export model and task attributes will need to fit into the import ARIS Function Allocation Diagram (FAD).
