Mapping Information Architecture

 

Information architecture tools support architects who use information as an asset, contributing to security, sustainability and success.

Architects use ABACUS to keep teams updated on the location and flow of data and information, and the processes that affect that data. This includes compliance with international standards and data privacy legislation.

Information Architecture & Data Modeling

 

Information Architecture Tool Modeling

Information Architecture Diagrams & Templates 

Collaborate with architects, data owners and stakeholders in real-time and across the business to ensure information stays accurate and relevant

  • Set up a centralized view of the company’s information assets and use data integrations to automate data maintenance (SharePoint, ServiceNow, CMDBs or via our REST API)
  • Map out information assets data flows, and data stores. For instance, build Entity Relationship Diagrams to show data entities and their relationships
  • Build or edit diagrams with a drag-and-drop stencil interface.
  • Grant permissions to allow colleagues to view or edit diagrams and their connected datasets. Empower your teams to work efficiently without compromising sensitive data.
  • Motivate decision-makers with clear presentations and dashboards showing Processes, Metrics and Roadmaps

Model Data Flows Including Processes, Information & Technology

Interactive graph database views of connected applications, databases and infrastructure and processes can help to visually identify dependencies

  • Use UML models, Business Object Models, Entity Relationship Diagrams etc.
  • Set up automated calculations and analytics to track project costs, technical metrics (Performance, Reliability etc.)

Frameworks for Architecture Management 

Information architecture frameworks  must be appropriate to manage logical and physical architecture. Maintain governance by setting naming conventions and other standards using frameworks, permissions and data dictionaries to guide inputs and updates. In ABACUS, users can select from standard frameworks or tailor enterprise-specific frameworks themselves.

Which framework is best for you?

Enterprise Architecture Framework
Establish a framework for information management by selecting from existing approaches or tailoring standards
Model Architecture with ABACUS
Build a structured information repository
Analyze data with ABACUS
Analyze using metrics such as TCO, Availability, Reliability, Agility
Report with Rich DataViz in ABACUS
Visualize and quantify alternatives and present your results

Use ABACUS for Modeling:

  • Corporate data models and database description language / design (DDL)
  • Entity relationship diagrams and process modeling
  • ABACUS also offers truly cloud-based enterprise modeling and the ability to future-proof enterprise models via a flexible graph-database back-end.
