Operationalize the Microsoft Business Process Catalog with Mavim

The Microsoft Business Process Catalog in Mavim combines Microsoft's proven reference process models with Mavim's Business Knowledge Platform. Organizations can adapt, govern and continuously improve these reference models while connecting them to applications, business capabilities, organizational roles and governance information.

The Microsoft Business Process Catalog provides standardized reference models. Mavim transforms those models into governed, connected business knowledge by adding relationships, governance, version control, collaboration and continuous improvement capabilities. Instead of static reference documentation, organizations create a living business knowledge platform.

Yes. The Business Process Catalog is intended as a starting point. Organizations can tailor processes, terminology, governance structures and business rules to reflect their own operating model while maintaining a standardized foundation.

Mavim integrates with the broader Microsoft ecosystem, including Dynamics 365, Microsoft 365, Power Platform, Microsoft Copilot, Azure, Microsoft Entra ID and Azure DevOps. This enables organizations to connect business knowledge across their Microsoft environment. 

No. While many organizations begin using the Business Process Catalog during Dynamics 365 implementation, its value extends far beyond go-live. Mavim supports governance, continuous improvement, change management and Enterprise AI by keeping business knowledge accurate, connected and up to date.

Enterprise AI performs best when it has access to trusted business context. Mavim provides that context by connecting processes with business capabilities, applications, roles, policies and governance information, helping AI deliver more relevant and reliable insights.

Absolutely. Many organizations use Mavim as a shared collaboration platform where business stakeholders and implementation partners work from the same governed process models. This improves alignment, reduces ambiguity and strengthens project governance.

This depends on the scope of your transformation. Because organizations start with Microsoft's proven reference models rather than creating process models from scratch, many teams can begin workshops and process alignment activities much faster than with a traditional modeling approach.

No. The Microsoft Business Process Catalog already provides an extensive library of industry-proven business process models. Your organization focuses primarily on validating, adapting and governing the processes that are relevant to your business.
