Information Architecture & Data Modeling
ABACUS For Information Architecture
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, Technopedia, ServiceNow, CMDBs or via our REST API)
- Show the information assets data flows, and data stores. For instance, build Entity Relationship Diagrams to show data entities and their relationships
- Motivate decision-makers with clear presentations and dashboards showing Budgets, Processes and Roadmaps
Model Data Flows Including process, 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 Information Management – the ability to exchange information and make use of that information effectively is key
The framework must also 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.
