The information here is based on publicly available information about the enterprise architecture tools. Capstera team has not used every of these enterprise architecture software solutions. Furthermore, it depends on what enterprise architecture model your company uses and the enterprise architecture framework you have made standard.
Which enterprise architecture tool do you use? Are there any enterprise architecture tools or software platforms or solutions that we are missing here in this list of enterprise architecture tools? Please feel free to share with us.
Individual License: Where we offer an individual license, you can use the deliverable for personal use. You pay only once for using the deliverable forever. You are entitled any new updates within 12 months. Enterprise License: If you are representing a company, irrespective of size, and intend to use the deliverables as a part of your enterprise transformation, the enterprise license is applicable in your situation. Consultancy License: A consulting or professional services or IT services company that intends to use the deliverables for their client work need to pay the consultancy license fee.
We are sorry, but we cannot send or show sample deliverables. There are two reasons: A The deliverables are our intellectual property, and we cannot share the same. B While you may be a genuine buyer, our experience in the past has not been great with too many browsers and not many buyers.
We believe the depth of the information in the product description and the snippets we provide are sufficient to understand the scope and quality of our products. We process each transaction manually and hence, processing a deliverable may take anywhere from a few minutes to up to a day.
The reason is to ensure appropriate licensing and also validating the deliverables. Your best bet is to log in to the portal and download the products from the included links.
The links do not expire. You can only download the products three times. We believe that is sufficient for any genuine usage situation. Of course, once you download, you can save electronic copies to your computer or a cloud drive.
You can share the deliverables within a company for proper use. You cannot share the deliverables outside your company. Selling or giving away free is prohibited, as well. Not generally. Some employees have more than five computers on their desk alone. Even a small organization may have thousands of machines; some can easily have more than a million.
Enterprise architecture EA systems track all these machines and the software that runs on them — not to mention how these software layers interact. Because of this, EA tools are the single source of truth for managing these burgeoning virtual worlds. The EA marketplace is robust with more than several dozen serious competitors. Some specialize in particular platforms or clouds.
Others offer deeper integration with business intelligence and business process management software. Some began life as generic modeling software; others were purpose-built for enterprise architecture. All compile long lists of machines and offer various tabular and graphical dashboards for tracking them. EA systems gather device and software information in a number of ways.
The most manual process involves asking stakeholders and developers to fill out forms detailing who owns what machines. Most use a hybrid of these approaches. Some offer drag-and-drop widgets so that developers, architects, and managers can create a model of all the machines, the software those machines run, and how the data flows from one machine to another.
Everyone from the CIO to the rapid-response team can use the charts and graphs from an EA dashboard to look up processes and track the flow of data. Some want to watch for bad machines or overloaded pipelines.
They can repair problems by following a cascade of failure. Others want to plan for the future by finding bottlenecks or shortcuts. All rely on the data in the system as a springboard for making quick decisions. Many of the tools use ArchiMate , an open modeling standard designed to capture much of the complexity of enterprise architecture.
The views and visualizations are created in a manner similar to that of UML Unified Modeling Language , another generalized approach for visualizing design. An important consideration is the level of integration with the type of software in your local stack.
All of the EA tools support big collections of modules that can gather data from particular clouds or operating systems but some support various clouds and operating systems better than others. Some specialize in particular corners of the computing world. Written by Sherri Woolard, submitted by Jennie Franke Enterprise Applications EA is kicking off an effort to evaluate and select an Enterprise Architecture Tool to help us more efficiently and effectively respond to the technology demands of WashU.
Summary Washington University in St. What is an Enterprise Architecture Tool? Implementing architecture frameworks and documentation practices that are product focused, dynamic, easily discoverable, consistent and comprehensive could help alleviate SME reliance. Unknown IT assets and associated costs underpinning an application; no central artifact repository; inconsistent, static architecture reference models with varying degrees of granularity and unknown stakeholders all contribute to project discovery, impact analysis and strategic advising inefficiencies.
Low organization adoption, inconsistent use will fail to deliver expected value. Current Status Engage in a 3 month Enterprise Architecture tool product evaluation effort. Use a requirements-driven approach toward evaluating tool capabilities.
Develop use cases which prioritize our current problems and weigh product capabilities against those use cases. Review vendor product offerings, create target list for demos.
