ProModel for BPA/CI Partners - Program Overview
Introduction
The ProModel BPA/CI (Business Process Analysis/Continuous Improvement) Partner Program is designed to help partners increase revenue by adding a Microsoft product enhancing process simulation solution to their menu of value added products and services. This complementary tool drives additional sales in two ways.
- The ProModel tool, Process Simulator®, integrates with and enhances the performance of Microsoft Office Visio® installations already in use with your clients. This gives you the opportunity to introduce the ProModel tool as further value added to your clients, which in turn generates software and/or service revenue for you.
- Existing clients or new clients who do not yet have Visio deployed, may be more likely to purchase it or begin using it due to the additional capability provided by Process Simulator, thereby driving additional Microsoft product and service sales.
Whether you refer, sell or consult, ProModel has a program designed to enhance your business.
BPA/CI Product
The BPA/CI space includes many methodologies such as Lean, Six Sigma, Theory of Constraints, Business Process Re-Engineering and Continuous Improvement to name a few. The ProModel tool for this is Process Simulator, a Microsoft Office Visio Plug-in. This is a powerful addition to the tool kit for LSS Trainers and Consultants.
This tool empowers analysts and managers to more accurately and rapidly visualize how your current system operates and then to easily test multiple What-If scenarios to design systems correctly the first time, or to select the most effective improvements or changes without playing risky trial and error with your live operations.
Process Simulator allows you to quickly and seamlessly create and run simulation models inside Visio. Take an existing static Visio Diagram and easily turn it into a dynamic simulation without programming. Create a simulation model from scratch by simply creating a Visio diagram and then adding the appropriate simulation properties to each shape. Dynamic, animated visual models and data graphics allow users to watch their processes in action and see the effect of changes. Informative output reports and charts help lead the user to the best COA’s (Courses of Action) for process improvement.
