Thank you. -----Original Message----- From: Lyalin, David S. Sent: Friday, August 09, 2002 10:10 AM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Cc: Lyalin, David S. Subject: Business Modeling with Rational Rose These are some points from the recent discussion with my clients regarding CASE tools for Business Modeling. 1. What is the best CASE tool for Business Modeling? The brief version of my answer - today it is Rose by Rational Corp. because: a) Tool is established well in a modeling community and it has largest market share. Good chance that the company will be around for a "reasonable" time length. b) Same tool can be used for software development and for business modeling c) Rose is UML-oriented and, again, the same standard could be use throughout the software development and business modeling 2. What would be possible problems/risks with the choice of Rose by Rational as a tool for Business Modeling? My impression is: a) Rational has no defined strategy on the subject: it does not look like Rational Corp. positioning its Rose modeling tool for Business Modeling. All public statements from Rational regarding Business Modeling are very vague. b) Major efforts with Rose development are directed towards enhancing design-related and code generation tasks at the expense of analysis-related tasks. On practice it means that product lacks features that are important for Business Modeling (as example, obvious deficiencies with the visual aspects of diagrams). Still, it would be logical to use Rose for the Business Modeling today - for reasons stated in section 1. The concern is that without defined strategy and focused efforts from Rational, role of the Rose as a Business Modeling tool could diminish dramatically. Your comments and opinions would be appreciated.
