Architecture Governance and Risk Management

Use ABACUS metrics and dashboards to assess how planned changes might introduce new risks or affect service continuity.

Thanks to the centralized and connected ABACUS repository – powered by graph-database technology-architects gain unparalleled traceability across the architecture landscape.

With this insight, architects can design more resilient systems, identify potential weaknesses early, and make informed, data-driven recommendations that strengthen enterprise stability.

“Our team are using ABACUS as one of their guiding lights to priorize cybersecurity. We use the data to keep over 300-400 employees informed, from the CIO to data centre operators.”

– Architect, Ameritas

“ABACUS provides a single source of truth. This powerful feature helps to link everything together, saving time and maintenance especially when constructing visualizations and dashboards.”

– Enterprise Architecture Business Analyst

“We can drill down on the relative vulnerability rating for a particular server in a few moments. This makes for much more intelligent decisions.”

– Infrastructure Architect

“We’ve created diagrams to tell the story of change analysis and to visualize the complexity of the portfolios – to say: “This is where we need to rationalize our projects and applications.”

– Chief Architect, KLP

“We had the usual spreadsheets, but we wanted to hold our architecture as data. We wanted to be as efficient as possible, and ABACUS fit that bill.”

– Director of Enterprise Architecture
