Enterprise Architecture Modeling & Roadmapping

User Friendly Enterprise Architecture Modeling Tool

Quickly centralize data. Build diagrams, reports and dashboards to lead discussions and planning:

Connect Visio, UML and BPMN diagrams and Excel data so they stay linked
Easily build and edit application & technology architectures, process models, etc. using canvas-and-stencil diagramming
Use shape libraries and templates to speed up diagramming eg. AWS and Azure icons for cloud and solution architectures
Map out current and future state architecture scenarios
Create custom diagram types, using your own symbols, based on your organization’s modeling requirements.
Frameworks, notations and standards available including TOGAF, ArchiMate, BPMN, NIST & Zachman.

Use business capabilities to manage change

Import and integrate existing data on business unit functions and goals
Build business capability models and value streams
Map business capabilities to Applications, Process, Technologies and other components
Analyze dependencies and identify where redundancies and gaps exist
Get started quickly with business capability standards and frameworks including TOGAF, BizBok and PCF (all available in ABACUS)

Visualize and explore your organization’s architecture directly in your browser

Map complex relationships: Discover and understand the connections between your systems and technologies with our intuitive graph view.
Gain insights: Identify dependencies and potential impacts in seconds, to make informed decisions quickly
Drill down for details: explore specific connections to uncover underlying complexities and dependencies
Customize views: Choose from a range of icons and EA standards to tailor the graph view to your organization

Build architecture roadmaps: Use Gantt Charts and heatmaps to track timelines & key dates for projects, technologies, risks, and more.
Track progress: identify the steps needed to reach your target state architecture. Monitor cost and technical metrics.
Collaborate in real time: On data catalogs, charts, models and diagrams
Customize dashboards: select the diagrams, charts, catalogs and content to communicate progress

Quickly explain the impact of strategies, dependencies or future state options

Zero in on subsets of operating processes, capabilities, and applications. Or filter according to properties such as cost and risk
Provide an instant view of second order effects across all views and diagrams
Highlight high-risk applications and then check in on key business process and business capability diagrams to understand dependencies
Filter to focus: select processes which are being redesigned, or applications which are located in a particular country

ABACUS is available on-premise, in the cloud or hybrid
