Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a set of standard symbols that allow you to create a graphical view of a business process. The symbols were developed to help users develop standard, unified structure of processes, and any messages shared between these processes.
As the business world becomes more complex, so must the processes that keep it running. What′s more, with more participants involved in the running of a business, both from inside and out, it′s important we have a unified modeling technique that can handle the interaction between these processes. BPMN is a visual tool for businesses and business process implementers. A critical focus of BPMN is that it is seen as critical for business users to easily read and understand business process diagrams. This is core of business process improvement tools.
BPMN is a process-oriented approach to modeling of systems; this sets it apart from UML which has a more object-oriented approach. With the addition of BPMN to ConceptDraw DIAGRAM users have the capability of using either BPMN or UML to describe a process, depending on their needs.

All source documents are vector graphic documents. They are available for reviewing, modifying or converting to a variety of formats (PDF file, Power point Presentation, image or MS Visio) from the ConceptDraw STORE, for all users who have installed Business Process Diagram solutions.
Data modeling is actively applied in analysis and uses wide set of methods for description the data requirements in a system. One of the most popular and well-known is the ERD method of database modeling.
The best ERD tool for the Mac and Windows is ConceptDraw DIAGRAM software extended with the Entity-Relationship Diagram (ERD) solution from the Software Development Area for ConceptDraw Solution Park, which is sharpened for professional ERD drawing and data modeling with Entity Relationship Diagram.

A Process Flow Diagram (PFD) is a diagram which shows the relationships between the main components in a system. Process Flow Diagrams are widely used by engineers in chemical and process engineering, they allows to indicate the general flow of plant process streams and equipment, helps to design the petroleum refineries, petrochemical and chemical plants, natural gas processing plants, and many other industrial facilities.
ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software extended with powerful tools of Flowcharts Solution from the Diagrams Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park is effective for drawing: Process Flow Diagram, Flow Process Diagram, Business Process Flow Diagrams.

Describing the way data flows through an information system might become a subject of a study. One of the kinds on a data flow diagram is called Gane Sarson Diagram after its authors, and it slightly differs from other notations. Process symbols in this notation are depicted as rounded rectangles connected with arrows representing data flows.
This is a sample of data flow diagram. It demonstrates utilization of the Gane-Sarson notation for making DFD on the example of an online appointment system of the Health Centre. This sample is used the vector objects library of Gane-Sarson DFD notation supplied by the ConceptDraw solution for data flow diagramming. It contains all symbols of the Gane-Sarson notation including connectors, jumps, and processes. This solution can be successfully utilized to generate DFDs for business documentation, and presentations.
Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a graphical modeling language for describing, visualizing, projecting and documenting of object oriented systems. UML digram is used for modeling of organizations and their business processes, for development the big projects, the complex software applications. Comprehensive UML diagram allows to create the set of interrelated documents that gives the complete visual representation of the modeling system.
