The design, analysis, visualization, and maintenance of enterprise architecture requires tool support. Standard office tools are not suited to model and maintain the complex interdependencies within enterprise architecture, and to visualize them for different stakeholders.

The tool BiZZdesign Architect models and visualizes enterprise architecture, including visualizing and analyzing relationships and dependencies between architectural domains, impact of change analysis, etc. Architect also captures other relevant information, like business goals and objectives, requirements and use cases, programs and projects, architectural principles. Architect fully supports the ArchiMate modeling concepts and the TOGAF architecture framework. Frameworks like Zachman, DYA®, and IAF are also fully supported by Architect.

Architect: Visualize and analyze enterprise architecture

BiZZdesign Architect enables enterprise architects to:

• Effectively create and maintain a consistent enterprise architecture
• Communicate effectively by using one standardized, unified language and creating meaningful, stakeholder-oriented views on architectures
• Make well-informed decisions by having a clear understanding of (in)direct relations between architecture elements, impact of change and the path toward change
• Be highly productive by easy model management and by rapidly meeting information needs of their stakeholders.

BiZZdesign Architect is often selected because it is very easy to use, has powerful visualization features, appeals to both business and IT stakeholders in an intuitive way, supports best of breed frameworks, provides accelerating best practices and reference models and is easily extendible to map adjacent information.
