Synchronizing with External Data

While Enterprise Architect is a central tool for the management of Model Based Systems Engineering projects, there are likely to be a number of other tools that an engineering office will have in place or will acquire for the purposes of ensuring that an endeavor meets its outcomes. These might include Project Management tools, visualization tools, Requirements Management catalogues, configuration management systems and issue tracking software.

Enterprise Architect, through the Pro Cloud Server (a separately licensed server-side component), provides bi-directional integration with a large number of tools including:

• Doors Next Generation - used for Requirements Management
• Wrike - used for general purpose Project Management
• Jira - used for issue tracking
• ServiceNow - used for Configuration Management
• Share Point - used for document management
• Team Foundation Server - used for Version Control in the software discipline

Representations of the elements from these external data sources can be included in diagrams and related to other elements in the repository. This allows Enterprise Architect to become an engineering information hub, connecting and integrating with a wide range of tools to provide a single view of a project.
