A Leading Modeling Software

By pulling together a connected view of business processes, applications, platforms and technology, architects can design appropriate solutions. Take advantage of industry standard frameworks and modeling techniques and present plans using a range of viewpoints, roadmaps, charts and diagrams.

Solution Architecture & Design Steps

Take advantage of major solution, system and software modeling approaches available in ABACUS

  • Scope requirements and system specifications and map out target architectures
  • Use AWS, Azure, and other shapes libraries and standards
  • Run analytics to understand dependencies, costs, risks and opportunities
  • Assess options, run scenario analysis and select the technology stack
  • Collaborate and share data with business architects, application architects, technical architects and enterprise architects.
  • Motivate decision-makers with clear presentations about Budgets, Cost-Savings, Roadmaps and Growth

Solution, System & Software Modeling Approaches

Major notations and frameworks used by solution architects are available out-of-the-box in ABACUS:

  • AWS and Azure shapes libraries
  • The Unified Modeling Language (UML)
  • Systems Modeling Language (SysML)
  • Business Process Modeling Notations (BPMN)
  • Model-Driven Architecture (MDA)
  • TOGAF and ArchiMate
