Avolution Abacus Recognized In 2018 Gartner Critical Capabilities For Enterprise Architecture Tools
In newly published research on enterprise architecture tools Avolution’s ABACUS received the highest product scores for each of three Use Cases.

The 2018 Gartner report “Critical Capabilities for Enterprise Architecture Tools”* has recognized ABACUS in the highest position for Speeding Time to Value, Making Smarter Decisions Faster and Bimodal Enterprise Architecture.

In the report, leading industry analyst firm Gartner evaluates enterprise architecture tool options. “Gartner Critical Capabilities enhances the Gartner Magic Quadrant with deeper insight into vendors’ product and service offerings by providing product ratings of key capabilities in critical differentiating usage scenarios. ”**

Avolution’s Dr Tim O’Neill said: “In 2018, practitioners need a tool which adapts to their way of doing enterprise architecture and supports them as they improve digital business productivity.

“We believe this Gartner analysis recognises that ABACUS excels at the Use Cases of Speeding Time to Value and Making Smarter Decisions Faster. From our perspective, in ABACUS, architects can integrate a wide variety of common data and access strong modelling and visualization options. They can take advantage of descriptive and predictive analytics and automated generation of views and reports.”

“Architects can also compare multiple alternative scenarios, delivering a “Bimodal Enterprise Architecture” approach. Core systems and processes are well-maintained and streamlined, whilst at the same time the architecture team can take an agile approach to exploring new business opportunities and innovations.”

Algorithms in ABACUS can be used to calculate metrics such as cost, risk and reliability to guide improvements in digital productivity. ABACUS is available for either cloud-based or on-premise enterprise architecture, modeling, roadmapping and analysis.
