Key enhancements in Metastorm ProVision Version 6.2 include:
Enterprise Collaboration, Work Reuse & Centers of Excellence - EA and BPA investments can be maximized through sharing, collaboration and reuse on both a local and a global scale. Metastorm ProVision's cross-repository sharing feature facilitates inter-repository sharing and reuse of models, objects and information libraries within a large enterprise.

Support for the Latest Modeling Standards and Frameworks - Metastorm ProVision 6.2 includes support for recently updated standards including BPMN 2.0, XPDL 2.1, UML 2.1, and DoDAF 2.0. Metastorm's ability to support multiple standard modeling notations and frameworks improves usability, interoperability and consistency.
Enterprise-Level Interoperability - Metastorm continues its commitment to and support of its Common Interchange Format (CIF), which provides an interface to numerous open standards and enables easy integration with third-party software packages. In Metastorm ProVision Version 6.2, CIF has been extended to the Metastorm Knowledge Exchange® repository in the form of a web service to provide organizations with enterprise-level interoperability of Metastorm ProVision models with other systems and applications.
Greg Carter further states, "Organizations are looking to enterprise-scale, web-based modeling and collaboration as a key to understanding the makeup of the enterprise and how to best leverage all of their people, system, information, infrastructure, product and process assets to meet strategic goals and objectives. Some of the biggest companies in the world have deployed Metastorm and rely on it for optimizing both business architecture and business processes. Metastorm is highly focused on ensuring that our software continues to meet our customer needs for modeling, analysis, collaboration and scalability as they grow and evolve."
