ADONIS 17 – New Features Make Processes Simpler
With version 17, ADONIS introduces a host of exciting new features that make working with processes even easier and faster. We took a close look at the update and present three particularly useful enhancements:
Process Drafter – The Easy Start
The new Process Drafter is perfect for anyone who wants to quickly capture an initial idea of a workflow without having any BPMN knowledge. It allows you to document the so-called «Happy Path» – the ideal sequence of a process – step by step. Key tasks can be identified and arranged in the right order.
The main goal is to get a quick overview without needing to define every detail. In the next step, the draft can be reviewed and refined together with other stakeholders.
AI Features for Process Modeling and Analysis
ADONIS now comes equipped with promising AI capabilities. This means the AI can automatically generate a BPMN model from a simple text-based process description. It identifies each step, arranges them logically, adds process roles automatically, and generates a concise description. This creates a complete first draft of the process with minimal effort and no BPMN expertise – a solid foundation for further refinement and optimization within the team.
The AI feature can also be used for process analysis. It highlights potential improvements or redundant tasks. This function holds great promise, especially as it helps newcomers quickly get familiar with process modeling and makes it easier to understand complex workflows.
Metamodel – More Flexibility for Customization
A feature that is often overlooked but offers great potential is the Metamodel. It allows you to tailor ADONIS to your specific needs – for instance, by adding extra fields for links to work instructions or related documents. Existing fields can be renamed or set as mandatory, and labels or statuses can be flexibly adjusted – for example, from «Under Review» to «Approval Required». This way, ADONIS can be perfectly aligned with your organization’s way of working.
Conclusion
With ADONIS 17, BOC takes a major step toward smarter and more user-friendly process modeling. Whether it’s the simple start with the Process Drafter, AI-powered support, or the flexibility of the Metamodel – the new features bring fresh momentum to process work.
We see many exciting opportunities here to make process management in organizations even better.
