Defining Business Systems with UML
Course Details
The Concrete Benefits of UML
UML (Unified Modeling Language) is a dynamic, flexible, and standardized language that can be used to model many scenarios and applications. Business Systems are the underlying engines that run all businesses. Creating, changing, optimizing and maintaining these systems will be improved with the use of UML. UML gives a commonly understood platform that all members of a company can use. In this course we take a look at a method of defining, eliciting information about the systems, and using UML to model those systems with an aim at giving management better control over their business.
UML modeling allows for the finding of potential areas of change, such as:
- Inefficiencies
- Performance issues
- Redundant processes
- Incorrect or conflicting business rules
- Areas of risk/exposure to your business systems
- Potential areas of consolidation
- Underutilized/over-utilized systems and people
