Second, the EA modeling tool should provide good collaboration-oriented features, which include a shared remote repository, simultaneous model editing, version management including model comparison and merge, easy publishing, and appropriate review capabilities. It is critical that the tool is compliant with standards, as this enables interoperability in a tool chain and data migration between tools. It also should enable integration of these models into a single repository while linking elements from other models conforming to different standards. First of all, a good EA modeling tool should support multiple standards, such as UPDM, SysML, BPMN, UML, and others. In this paper, we will be analyzing the modeling tool features which are critical for integrated enterprise architecture (EA) success. The ability to capture, integrate, and maintain integrated enterprise architecture (EA) models strongly depends on the modeling tool features that make enterprise architects daily work more productive. Modeling helps to capture and communicate the multilayered architecture of the enterprise and cause it to evolve for better enterprise performance. 2ģ Introduction Modern enterprises are based on complex business systems that are supported by even more complicated IT systems integrating multiple technologies and standards. 9 Visualize.11 Share.14 Analyze.15 Measure Gain.17 Conclusion No Magic, Inc. 3 A Process: Making the Most of an EA Modeling Tool. 1 ` Making the Most of an Enterprise Architecture Modeling Tool Aurelijus Morkevicius Product Manager for the UPDM plugin for MagicDraw and Cameo Enterprise ArchitectureĢ Contents Introduction.
