Abstract
This diploma thesis was carried out in cooperation with BMD
Systemhaus GesmbH, a company that develops business software
solutions for various businesses. The goal of the project was to
develop a web-based application that converts existing quality
management process data into graphical process models.
Business processes in enterprise software are often stored and managed in structured formats
such as tables or lists. While these formats are suitable for documentation and data storage, they
can make workflows, especially complex ones, difficult to understand. Relationships between
individual process steps, for example, are not always immediately visible, which complicates
training, analysis and documentation of business processes.
The developed system fetches process data from the BMD software environment via a REST
interface and prepares it for further processing. A conversion algorithm transforms the structured
data into BPMN-compliant XML, which can then be visualized and edited within a browser-
based editor. The graphical rendering and interaction with the diagrams are implemented using
the open-source library bpmn-js. Changes made to the diagrams can subsequently be converted
back into the original data format, including model-specific information such as element position
and size.
The resulting prototype demonstrates how existing process data can be converted into BPMN-
diagrams and integrated into an enterprise software environment. By providing a graphical
representation of workflows, the application improves the transparency and understandability of
business processes.
