We asked them they delivered. BPMN in Concept draw

The business architect blog has been working with CS Odessa in asking for business modelling upgrades for their suite of graphically based tools and here is their first response. BPMN is a basic requirement in any process diagramming tool but nevertheless this shows their commitment to developing into an analysis tool set for professional business architects.
We will do a review on this tools set soon and see how it competes with things like MS Visio and how it complements things like IGrafx Flowcharter.

New Business Process Diagram Solution: Business Process Modeling Notation Made Easier than Ever.

We at CS Odessa (http://www.conceptdraw.com), developer of the industry leading cross platform business graphics and diagramming tool, ConceptDraw PRO v9, have released a new Business Process Diagram Solution, in the Business Productivity Area of the ConceptDraw Solution Park. The solution, using ConceptDraw PRO’s dynamic RapidDraw feature, allows you to build diagrams in an instant and is available for download at no charge to current owners of ConceptDraw PRO v9.
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. 
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 PRO, users have the capability of using either BPMN or UML to describe a process, depending on their needs.
