The gap ARIS doesn't close

When business users cannot easily access process content, it stays with the specialists who created it. Employees continue to rely on local documents, habits, and informal knowledge, while the repository drifts away from operational reality.

This is the Adoption Gap: the difference between documented process knowledge and the knowledge people actually use. Closing it takes more than training. It requires process knowledge that is accessible, usable, and designed for the wider business.

Is your current process platform holding adoption back?

Reporting is not an out-of-the-box functionality.

Data integration is very complex to set up and maintain with an extractor. Need a simplified process to integrate data from external systems.

Data and Analytics Manager

The user experience is not very intuitive, particularly for new users.

Manager, Process Solutions

Reporting is not an out-of-the-box functionality.

Enterprise Architect

Reporting is not an out-of-the-box functionality.

It is complex to integrate SAP Signavio with other software and tools.

Software Engineer

Reporting is not an out-of-the-box functionality.

Those who are not Process Architects think that the view and user interface are complex.

IT Associate

Steep learning curve and resource intensity: While the platform is incredibly powerful, it is not plug-and-play for the average business user.

IT Services

... the opportunity to get it customized is a challenge - it comes with a huge cost

Developer

Reporting is not an out-of-the-box functionality.

Scale adoption without licensing becoming the barrier

Enterprise and flat-rate licensing options allow organisations to expand access without every additional user becoming a separate commercial decision.

Build a foundation for AI-ready process data

AI depends on process data that is structured, connected, and current. AI-assisted capabilities such as Arty help organisations get that foundation in place. 

Why connected process data matters

GBTEC Platform unites Process Management, Enterprise Architecture, Governance, Risk & Compliance, and Process Execution on one platform. 

This creates a consistent view of how the organisation operates, especially during transformation initiatives. Programmes such as SAP S/4HANA, Enterprise Architecture rationalisation, or NIS 2 readiness all draw on the same underlying process knowledge.

AI raises the bar further: it needs process data that is structured, connected, and current. Arty, our AI co-assistant, helps organisations create, enrich, and keep that content ready for use.

Understand what migration could look like in your organisation

Downloading the Migration Handbook is the first step. Afterwards, we will offer you a Migration Walkthrough: a short, practical conversation about how other organisations approached their move from ARIS, what typically transfers automatically, where decisions are required, and what a realistic migration timeline could look like for your environment. 

Knorr-Bremse moved several thousand process models from ARIS to GBTEC Platform, converted multiple modelling notations, and preserved process repositories across twelve languages.

Why enterprises choose GBTEC instead

The GBTEC Platform is a modern BPM platform designed for enterprise-wide adoption and transformation.
Organizations replacing ARIS consistently choose GBTEC for four key reasons:

Higher user adoption

GBTEC’s intuitive modeling environment and collaborative process portal enable thousands of business users to engage with processes – not just BPM experts.

Enterprise licensing without cost surge

Flexible enterprise licensing models, including flat-rate options, let organizations scale BPM globally without unpredictable user-based costs, enabling wider adoption across teams and regions.

Modern platform architecture

Open APIs and cloud-ready architecture enable seamless integration with ERP systems, transformation programs, automation platforms, and enterprise architecture initiatives.

Faster innovation

Replacing your BPM platform doesn’t mean losing your process repository. With the GBTEC Converter, ARIS data can be migrated automatically. GBTEC has already helped over 100 customers make the switch.
