Well-performed process and IT documentations provide a variety of advantages for your company and are in many cases required for certifications, such as e.g. ISO-9000.

ARCWAY Cockpit supports you in creating professional documentations for various purposes...with little effort. 

With the help of ARCWAY Cockpit, the following types of documentations, as well as combinations of these types, can be created:

• A process manual, which graphically documents business processes and, if required, contains detailed operating instructions or links to further documents. This process manual serves the purpose of creating and maintaining standards and simplifies the training of new employees. Process manuals pose a basis for the certification of companies.
• A project documentation describes the business processes, which have been created or customised in the project, and their IT implementation. It provides support during the changes an organisation undergoes after a successful project and poses the foundation of employee trainings.
• An IT documentation of the existing application environment and the resulting ITIL processes supports the administration of IT infrastructure and the planning of new projscts.
• a product architecture describes the central functional components, supported processes, and detailed technical aspects such as e.g. data structures or protocols, of a software product. It serves the purpose of planning the enhancement or adaption of a product.

The following image shows an excerpt of a process manual created with ARCWAY Cockpit.

A fundamental advantage in the documentation with ARCWAY Cockpit compared to standard Office applications is the fact that the models used in the different types of documentation are all stored in a central repository. This ensures that the processes described in the process manual are in line with the application environment described in the IT documentation.

The simple creation of project documentations is a further advantage of ARCWAY Cockpit. In many cases, this is done hastily, carelessly, and unprecisely at the end of the project and often lacks the desired quality. Since the project has already been specified and implemented with ARCWAY Cockpit on the basis of graphical process and IT models, the documentation can be exported as a Word or HTML document at any given time between the beginning and termination of the project.

The necessary integration of project results in the existing project models after the project has ended reveals another advantage of ARCWAY Cockpit. The element repository, which contains single elements such as process steps or IT applications, supports you in this respect. It enables insight into the dependancies between elements , bypassing the long-winded option of having to read every process separately. The compilation of process manuals containing partially outdated processes is history.
