Automation Interface, Add-Ins and Tools / Re: Exchanging diagrams with Visio
« on: February 16, 2005, 02:57:58 am »
Context is, we are from the application architecture and development group and are using UML and EA for modelling.
The operations and infrastructure group has its own standard tools for maintaining 'their' diagrams (in case VISIO). From the architecture group we are architecturing with input also the deployment model, however at a certain moment in time we must transfer those models to operations and infrastructure. They do not wish or intend to you EA (believe me, i tried to convince them). So we wish to transfer 'our' models to them, so they can take ownership without them having re-draw everything. I'm conscious that by transferring ownership and changing tools, we are losing the synchronisation, but that is for the moment something we have to live with.
