Glossary
In this glossary, you will find a set of terms we have defined and reused extensively in our white papers. We have tried to use as few terms as possible. When several terms relate to the same concept, we define only one term and add the others as synonyms.
- Transformation
To change Enterprise Operations, Transformation must Model and Deploy a new Operation Model. Transformation groups all Transformation-Actors with all Transformation-Processes they can execute and all Transformation-Information
There exist large Transformations like “merge companies”, “new product”, “new process” or small Transformations like “change a price”, or “create a security profile”.
As for Operations, Transformation-Actions are

• Organized-Processes or “Activity” sometimes called “Phase” (ex: execute a Gap analysis, accept the Solution Model)
