Enterprise Architect

Fast Intuitive Modeling & Design

The perfect enterprise wide solution to visualise, analyse, model, test and maintain all of your systems, software, processes and architectures. Enterprise Architect is the ideal platform to help you to stay in control of your workspace, support your colleagues and team, enable collaboration and build confidence within your most complex projects.

Open your enterprise to your modeling efforts

A single repository for business analysts, software architects, developers, project managers, testers, roll-out and support staff. A ‘unified’ view of a complex system having many view points and many possible sub-systems. Shared models can be accessed easily and securely by remote team members with Enterprise Architect’s Pro Cloud Server.

Application Portfolio Management – Accelerator

Manage your application landscape using The Essential Architecture (TEA) Toolkit built based on industry best practices and insights requested by CXOs worldwide.

With the help of the APM Accelerator pack, architects can quickly begin modeling the data and present a comprehensive analysis of Application Management to stakeholders.

The accelerator package involves the following:

Well Standardized Metamodel
Excel Spreadsheet
Import Profiles
Harvested Model
Model Add-in (XML file)

Manage complex information

Enterprise Architect helps individuals, groups and large organizations model and manage complex information. By integrating and connecting a wide range of structural and behavioral information in visual form, you can build a coherent, verifiable model of what-is or what-will-be.

Tools built into Enterprise Architect that help you manage complexity include:

Diagrams for modeling strategic and business level concepts
Domain-specific profiles and reusable model patterns
Baseline and version management for tracking and integrating changes
Role-based security to help the right people contribute in the right way

Flexible and rich

Open Standards

Based on open standards like UML, BPMN and SysML. Supporting enterprise architecture frameworks like TOGAF and UPDM. Integrated custom tools to analyze and visualize running software. Advanced simulation, testing tools, team based repositories, version control and more.

Track Tasks

Tracking, prioritizing and assigning tasks is a critical part of managing a model’s development over time. Track model tasks against individual resources and against the project as a whole. Task allocations can be viewed as a Gantt chart, allowing you to monitor progress visually.

Test and Debug

Develop and visualize software. Test and verify correct behavior. Simulate processes. Set and manage test points. Debug and inspect executing software. Advanced simulation, testing tools, team based repositories, version control and more.

Simulation

Able to dynamically simulate behavior and state models. Confirm process design. Specify triggers, events, constraints and more. Watch the wheels turn! Specify complex and large structural systems. Create and debug embedded solutions. Build custom domain specific solutions. Build your own domain specific modeling tools!

Model, manage and trace

Capture and trace formal requirements to design, build, deployment and beyond. Use impact analysis to trace proposed changes to original requirements. Build the right system.

Enterprise Architect’s built-in requirements management features can be used to:

Define an organized, hierarchical requirements model
Trace the implementation of system requirements to model elements
Search and report on requirements
Perform impact analysis of proposed changes to requirements

High performance

Load extremely large models in seconds

Fast! Enterprise Architect users agree – Enterprise Architect is a spectacularly fast performer, loading extremely large models in seconds. Featuring a high-performance model repository, Enterprise Architect easily accommodates large teams sharing the same view of the enterprise.

Collaborate effectively globally

With tightly integrated version control capabilities, and deployable cloud-based servers, Enterprise Architect also allows globally distributed teams to collaborate effectively on shared projects.

Kickstart your Project with over 1000 Patterns

A wealth of specially crafted patterns and re-usable model structures across multiple modeling domains and languages will fast track your design work and help you deliver accurate and stunning models that leverage a strong and proven foundation.

Perspective based modeling reduces noise and simplifies the workspace

Turn down the noise and focus in on one modeling task at a time. Concentrate on Business Analysis or Strategy or Software Design or Systems engineering while pushing other technologies and tools into the background. An essential tool for staying “on track”.

Share, review and inform

Pro Cloud Server opens your entire enterprise to your modeling efforts, enabling stakeholders to have secure access for discussion and review. WebEA, hosted on Pro Cloud Server, complements Enterprise Architect by providing a real-time view of project content, anywhere, anytime…

Model collaboration in the cloud

WebEA

Real-time, cloud-based stakeholder collaboration

WebEA provides a real-time view of content contained in an Enterprise Architect Cloud repository to be shared with anyone with a smart phone, tablet or computer simply using a web-browser.

Complements Enterprise Architect

WebEA is a complementary product and is not intended to replace Enterprise Architect. WebEA allows your entire organization to read and consume models, and provide feedback where appropriate.

A valid licence of Enterprise Architect is still required to create models and edit diagrams.

At a Glance:

Push your models to the entire enterprise
Allow stakeholders real-time web access to consume and review your models
Web based creation of Issues, Tests, Requirements, Use Cases and more
A powerful platform for model authors to engage model consumers for feedback
Track model changes at a glance via watch lists

Create Elements

Project management tasks like the creation of Issues, Tests, Resources, Requirements, Use Cases and more can be created directly in the mobile browser for rapid capturing of information, at a remote site, to be modeled at a later time, or by the team back in the office.

Keep Track Of Work

Customizable watch lists can be configured to always keep you informed when the model has changed. Ensuring you are always up to date with the latest changes in your model, even when in transit.

On Any Device

Created with the mobile user in mind, the interface is fully compatible with smart phones and tablets. Quickly and easily review and discuss model content when you are away from your computer.

Fully Explore

Intuitive user interface so you always know where you are and where you have come from.

Discuss and Review

Discussion enabled models allow you to contribute to the model via the browser. Discussions are stored in the model to build up a complete picture of stakeholder feedback and create seamless discussions, regardless if you are working inside Enterprise Architect or WebEA.

Simplify – Reduce the Complexity

Live Curated Access

Allow customized views to specific parts of Enterprise Architect models.

Rich User Experience

Enhance user experience by personalizing all touch points.

Prolaborate is the ‘Next Step’ for the modelling fraternity. Prolaborate allows users to create a tailored set of views that reduce complexity, focus attention and increase the accessibility of model information for the non-modeling community who are more concerned with consuming the models. Prolaborate also provides dashboards, impact analysis, gated reviews and much more to leverage information from the model to provide unique windows into the model for a custom audience.
