Capabilities

Guided solution architecture design

Use our out-of-the-box Solution Architecture Coach to follow a structured process for creating and communicating solution architecture designs. Tailor your work to a variety of audiences. Share deliverables on Bizzdesign Horizzon or embed content on other platforms such as Microsoft SharePoint and Confluence to maximize collaboration.

Standardized templates and design patterns

Produce solution architecture designs with out-of-the-box templates and design guidance based on reliable, connected metamodels such as ArchiMate, UML, ERD and BPMN. Reuse content to deliver quick, high-quality work and boost output quality. We support design frameworks such as C4, Arc42, Google Cloud Platform, Amazon Web Services, and Microsoft Azure. Or include your own design patterns or frameworks as templates.

Impact analyses and scenario planning

There’s no need to start from scratch with every new project. Save time with current state architecture automation (e.g. CMDB sync via Open API), complemented by search and architecture exploration and analyses techniques. Kickstart any new design initiative by automatically generating baseline design views, all based on reliable as-is architecture information.

Solution architecture design viewpoints

Use solution architecture viewpoints and dashboards for collaboration with other experts (e.g. security assessment by security architect, cost-benefit analysis by product manager etc.) Create an appealing visual communication style that resonates with your audience. Customize and visualize your architectural designs using your own corporate colors, iconology, and more.
