Project B

Project A

1. Version Management• Versioning can be done at all levels of granularity (BPA Project, Model(s), Groups,

etc.)• Create new versions, compare versions• View previous versions, change lists

2. Change Management• Creating, assigning & implementing process improvement proposals• Tracking, & managing improvement proposals

3. Authentication • Map LDAP Users to BPA Users and User Groups. LDAP Authentication triggered

when user logs in to Architect• Map LDAP Groups to Process participants of human steps in business process.

Version Management & Change Control Features in BPA
