Increase success with our proven implementation methodology
Prime is the value creation methodology for implementing a Software AG product or solution. You benefit from the best practices and methodologies time-tested by your peers in thousands of similar initiatives. Prime 3.0 was released in September 2016 and covers all areas of the Digital Business Platform.
Prime overview
All five core platform components of the Digital Business Platform are supported by a dedicated Prime methodology, as shown in Figure 1. In addition, Prime Project Management and Prime Cross Platforms support the overall delivery process and provide input for recurring activities.
Figure 1: Prime supports the delivery process for all components of the Digital Business Platform.
Each of the seven component methodologies serves as a container for platforms. In this respect, Prime follows the structure of the Digital Business Platform. For instance, Prime Business & IT Transformation contains the platforms ARIS Business Process Analysis, ARIS Governance, Risk and Compliance, and Alfabet for Enterprise Architecture Management and Alfabet for IT Portfolio Management.
You can further drill down to the platform-specific packages to find the service packages that belong to your specific area of interest. Figure 2 provides a closer look at ARIS Business Process Analysis.

As shown in Figure 3, each individual service package consists of:
- Procedural models (describing the delivery process/project plan)
- Detailed work packages
- Assets (templates, guides, samples, tools & utilities, predefined content)
