Over the past decade business and software modelling have been carried out using different notations designed to fit the special needs of the respective tasks. This approach has introduced a gap between the software and business models, which has resulted in inconsistency. The objective of this paper is to propose a new approach to analysis of the business process using UML notation. UML is the most commonly used language in object-oriented software development. Moreover, it can be extended to the modelling of business processes. With this approach it is possible, in the same notation, to visualise a company’s business processes, its information system requirements and the architecture of the relevant information system.
