Key Benefits

Work together in small or large teams from anywhere in the world using Computers, Tablets and Smart Phones, specifying, analyzing, designing, simulating, testing, implementing, deploying and supporting solutions that will exceed the expectations of business and technical audiences alike.

Integrate with a rich landscape of external tools to unify teams and enterprises resulting in productivity gains that create truly astonishing results.

These are just some of the benefits that Enterprise Architect can bring to your Enterprise, team and projects:

• High productivity tool creating results in record time
  Models and solutions can be created at lightning speed using a variety of features, including a Model Wizard, Transformation tools and Code Generation; see the The Model Wizard Help topic

• Standards and Specification Based
  Enterprise Architect supports a formidable range of standards and specifications, ranging from Enterprise Architecture, Strategic and Business Modeling, Systems Engineering, Design and Construction through to Implementation, Testing and Deployment; see the More Domain Models Help topic

• A platform for business and technical users
  With Enterprise Architect it is possible to bridge the divide between business and technical teams; executive stakeholders, line managers analysts, development and testing teams can work together using the tool features that apply to them but knowing that they are all contributing to a unified business and technology solution; see the The Business Model Help topic

• Flexible, Configurable and Extensible
  The tool is highly flexible, allowing you to tailor the way you work with Perspectives and Workspaces, helping you to stay focused and resulting in great productivity; it also provides a range of mechanisms to extend the core features, from basic scripts to full-blown third party Add-Ins; see the Model Perspectives, Model Views, Workspaces Portal, Scripting and Add-ins & Scripting Help topics

• Code Engineering and Visualization
  The tool provides a vast set of code engineering features that not only allow the full management of source code but also provide unique facilities to visualize code in models and diagrams; code hot-spots and performance problems can be analyzed and resolved in record time; see the Software Engineering and Execution Analysis Help topics

• Simulation of Business and Technical Models
  Models can be brought to life, with easy-to-use simulations of business models such as Business Process Diagrams, and technical models such as StateMachines; these work out of the box but can be extended to allow advanced analysis using tools such as BPSim, MATLAB and Modelica; see the Model Simulation and BPSim Business Simulations Help topics

• Extended Features
  Beyond the core features for modeling, Enterprise Architect boasts an extraordinary number of facilities, from enterprise modeling right through to deployment and support; these include Kanban, Calendars, Mail, Discussions, Reviews, Model Library, Gantt Charts, Code analyzers, Simulation and much more; see the Project Build & Deploy Help topic

• Rigorous Metamodel Driven Technologies
  Many of the technologies that underpin the specification are driven by metamodels, allowing robust and compliant models to be created and validated; see the Model Validation Help topic

• Collaboration Platform that Unifies Interdisciplinary Teams
  Enterprise Architect was built from the ground up as a tool to support interdisciplinary teams, fostering collaboration and team work to ensure that the solution is far more than the sum of its parts; see Discussions, The Model Library and The Modeling Team Help topics

• Secure, Scalable, Multi-User platform
  Any number of users can collaborate, accessing models securely, and the repositories can scale to support hundreds of projects in global enterprises; users can interact with the models in a variety of ways, such as using WebEA; see the WebEA Help topic

• Formidable selection of supported Specifications and Standards
  Enterprise Architect has grown from being a UML tool to a platform that supports almost all modeling specifications, from Enterprise Architecture through to Code Engineering; see the More Domain Models Help topic

• On-Premise and In-Cloud Deployment Models.
  There is a range of deployment options from local file based repositories, through on-premise repositories to full Cloud solutions; see the The Model Repository Help topic

• Accessible from Computers, Tablets and Smart Phones
  Models can be created and edited using the Enterprise Architect thick client software or by using the Cloud Server and WebEA from any device with a browser, including Smart Phones and Tablets; see the WebEA Help topic

• Dashboards, Simple and Advanced Publishing and Reporting
  Enterprise Architect can display expressive dashboards, with charts and graphs that allow model managers and others to visualize the model's key performance indicators; there is also a  flexible and extensible report generator that can produce basic reports through to highly polished corporate publications; see the Dashboard Diagrams and Model Publishing Help topics

• User Experience
  The user interface of the thick client is a highly polished ribbons-based interface which is a delight to use and provides simple and obvious access to the rich set of available features; see the The Application Desktop Help topic
