Abstract
Increasingly complex systems have stimulated the development of sophisticated methods and tools for enterprise design and analysis. Advances in information technology as well as significant progress in analytical and computational techniques have facilitated the use of such methods in industry. However, enterprise modeling and analysis methods are yet to make a significant impact in the decision-making process of most companies and organizations. In this contribution, we provide a detailed analysis of some of the major roadblocks to a broader use of enterprise modeling methods in industry. We then describe an approach that addresses each of those roadblocks. Finally, we provide an overview of a commercial software environment that implements the approach, explaining the primary motivations for developing the software and describing its main features and characteristics.
