Few Minutes with Savvion Process Modeler

I played around a while with Savvion Process Modeler and found the UI (non-eclipse) simple and intuitive. Modeling was straight forward and in my opinion the tool should have a flat learning curve and keep the Business Analyst interested. On the negative side, the tool does not give an option to save the model as a BPEL file, by default, it saves the model as a proprietary SPT file and can export only to an XML file. It has got pretty decent features for running the model as a simulation with Normal distribution, constant and exponential values that can be given to the variables.

For execution, the SPT file needs to be deployed onto the Savvion BPM server (BizLogic Server) for execution.

Overall, I liked the product for its speed and intuitive GUI but was not happy that it could not save the output as a BPEL file.
