      <Paragraph>These roles can be combined in one implementation assisting

         <Paragraph>The term <Emphasis>implementation assisting

		  operational, the Process Browsers created in the implementation phase can be

      <Paragraph>Most of the remaining document describes the Dynamic Enterprise
		Modeler from an objective point of view.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>However, whenever extra actions are required to enable parts of

      <SectionTitle>To achieve the implementation assisting
		objective</SectionTitle>
      <Paragraph>The first objective of the Dynamic Enterprise Modeler is
		accomplished by modeling the business processes that represent the desired
		situation of an organization.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Each time a model is created for a different organization, a new
		model is built that represents the desired situation for that
		organization.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>Several models that represent the best-practice situation of
		certain organization typologies have been created. These reference models can
		be used as a starting point in creating organization-specific models, which are
		based on the differences between the organization’s specific situation and the
		best-practice situation.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>A reference model provides you with an efficient way of working,
		because the only data that must be entered is different from the best-practice
		situation. Also, it is more effective because a comparison can be drawn between
		the current and desired situation of a company, and the best-practice situation
		within the corresponding organization typology.</Paragraph>
      <Paragraph>This comparison can be used during the business re-engineering
		process.</Paragraph>
