Using standardized modeling techniques (open standards) is important when you want to combine EA and BPM. You don’t want to be locked into proprietary solutions like some vendors offer. Open standards allow you to reuse the knowledge, expertise and best practices of a worldwide community. It supports exchanging models between various tools and platforms and using reference models for your industry.
