On the Development of Enterprise-Grade Tool Support for the DEMO Method

摘要

The Design and Engineering Methodology for Organisations (DEMO) is a core method within the discipline of Enterprise Engineering (EE). It enables the creation of so-called essential models of organisations. Such models are enterprise models that focus on the organisational essence of an organisation. They do so primarily in terms of the actor roles involved, and the business transactions between them. The DEMO method has a firm theoretical foundation. At the same time, there is increasing uptake of DEMO in practice. This uptake also results in a need for enterprise-grade tool support for the use of the method. In this experience paper, we report on experiences in the development of enterprise-grade tool support for the practical use of DEMO.
