Enterprise Studio is the HoriZZon platform’s modeling environment, and it can run independently as a stand-alone modeling tool for organizations that only require that specific functionality.
Key Features
Native ArchiMate® 3 and Open Standards Support
Enterprise Studio is the only EA management suite that provides genuinely native ArchiMate support. By default, our platform is built with an ArchiMate meta-model and the modeling language we use is ArchiMate. Enterprise Studio enables users to us to execute a wide range of analyses on top of the dynamic ArchiMate models, as well as identify and visualize insights to support business decision making. Learn more on how our platform supports ArchiMate.
Enhanced Collaboration
A central repository with smart, web-based collaboration features makes working across multiple departments and business locations simple with easy rights control, invite mechanisms and read/edit roles.
High Connectivity
Enterprise Studio uses data connectors to import and relate existing models and data such as performance, quality, cost or risk data to support management decision-making.
First-Class Modeling
Our intuitive modeling interface lets architects and modelers freely drag and drop objects, draw relationships using a smart connector capability, and automatically generate entire diagrams – everything correct by default. Users even have the option to navigate via a model browser, while access to powerful analysis capabilities is always just a couple clicks away.

Testimonials
“Enterprise Studio allows us to integrate all types of information, from business capabilities to application lifecycles and financial data, and share it with all stakeholders involved. This makes Enterprise Studio indispensable.”
“In a few short months we were able to leverage Enterprise Studio to model our current state and create reference architectures and building blocks to create a “dynamic” blueprint of our business. We tried other solutions and they just aren’t on par with BiZZdesign.”
“EA is rarely applied in Manufacturing,but it worked well for us. Using one common language and tool has already lead to optimizations that otherwise would have been much more difficult to realize.”
