Bpanda's Feature Highlights
Easily Find and Understand Processes
Bpanda’s intuitive and modern user interface enables anyone within a company to easily find their way through the process landscape. You can quickly and easily find all relevant process information. Information is set out in a clear and easy way so that all team members know what steps need to be carried out.
Model and Expand Processes
Anyone can use Bpanda to model their own processes, regardless of their previous modeling experience. The table-based editor automatically creates the “Happy Path” (the typical standard flow of a process) based on the information entered. The result: A BPMN 2.0-compliant process that can be added to at any time using the Modeler and available in any language at the drop of a hat thanks to AI-supported translation.
Develop and Evaluate Processes Together
Bpanda can be used as a direct channel for communication so that anyone can share their wealth of knowledge about the process with their colleagues. You can use reviews to give direct feedback about processes and develop these further as a team. This continuously improves the quality of the process throughout the entire company and enables a transparent workspace.
Optimize Processes and Put them into Practice
Bpanda uses “jobs” to take process participants through the process step-by-step. The flow is visualized in such a way that even those working in different teams know who carries out which process step and everyone can view the log. This enables both seamless collaboration and a glimpse into the actual workflow to unlock your company’s potential.
Analyze and Manage Processes and Architecture with Precision
Bpanda enables ArchiMate®-compliant architecture management and integrated modeling of architecture and processes. Create architecture elements with flexibility and link them precisely to your processes. Analytics can be used to identify risks and optimization potential within good time and our architecture dashboard affords clear and transparent information; this is the perfect foundation for integrated process and architecture management.
Creating, Publishing and Evaluating Risks and Chances
Bpanda ensures that processes are regularly checked and adapted with regard to risks and chances to keep in line with ever-changing compliance requirements. The dashboard can help you to identify affected processes and quickly evaluate all chances and risks. Bpanda can help increase process quality, exploit the full potential for improvement and avoid legal and financial risks.
Use Processes Anywhere and at Any Time
Access Bpanda anywhere, anytime on your smart phone, tablet or desktop. Its responsive design delivers a seamless user experience on any device. Bpanda’s cloud version gets you up and running straight away, giving you secure access to the latest version at all times, hosted in a German data center. For very large companies (1000 licenses or more) with special compliance requirements, Bpanda is also available as an on-premises solution.
All Systems in Sync: Effortless Integration and Interfaces with Bpanda
Bpanda can be flexibly integrated into any company IT landscape. Thanks to AD and SSO integration, you benefit from convenient user management and secure access rights. Using the Bpanda-Innovator Connector and the BPMN interface, you can import processes from other modeling tools directly into your process space. Processes in Bpanda can be easily embedded as links in SharePoint or Confluence and content from these platforms can likewise be directly referenced in Bpanda processes. Easily connect Microsoft Streams or SharePoint videos and other external content directly to processes or process steps using embedding code or links. This ensures that all important information and documents are seamlessly linked across the organization and always available wherever they are needed for process work.

Frequently Asked Questions about Bpanda
Bpanda is a user-friendly software for integrated business process management (BPM) and architecture management, which enables companies to model and control their processes and architecture elements transparently throughout the company. You don’t need two separate tools; enjoy one software which seamlessly integrates both for the ultimate transparency and consistency.
Bpanda combines BPMN 2.0-compliant process modeling, collaborative process development, process optimization, ArchiMate®-based architecture management, comprehensive analytics and features for risk management and compliance. Import/export capabilities, interface connections, AI-powered translations and dashboards round off everything Bpanda has to offer.
You can use all ArchiMate® 3.2 elements in Bpanda, from application components and business processes, right the way through to generic architecture elements. You decide which elements should be activated in your process space. Our free ArchiMate® 3.2 poster gives you a precise overview of the ArchiMate® 3.2 elements available; enjoy a digital copy as PDF (EN/DE) or a printed A0 poster (DE) sent to you in the mail.
Bpanda currently has 10 analytics for the architecture dashboard. Four analytics are activated in your process space by default. You can activate further reports in your architecture settings. Bpanda regularly extends its analytics portfolio.
This overview gives you an overview of all analytics. Our Bpanda online help can provide you with detailed information about the elements required and what they are used for.
Activated by default:
- Architecture elements without relationships
- Architecture elements without owners
- Newest architecture elements
- Processes without application and technology support
User-activated
- Business continuity management report
- GDPR-relevant data processing
- Scoring by digitalization potential
- Scoring by AI potential
- Process maturity overview (CMMI)
- Process maturity overview (simple)
No! Bpanda also provides an easy entry point for beginners, e.g. through generic architecture elements, which you can use in place of all official ArchiMate® elements. You can always change the architecture element type at any time at a later stage.
Assign owners to each architecture element to regularly add information and keep everything up-to-date. All changes are always traceable.
No! You only need to use the architecture elements if you want to. You can also use Bpanda solely as a process management software and concentrate on modeling, documenting and optimizing your processes. Architecture elements are an extra feature you can use as and when you require. However, when it comes to seamless business-IT alignment or topics such as GDPR, integration of architecture elements provides significant added value and makes relationships, obligations and responsibilities even more transparent.
