General Board / Re: Use Cases and benefits of EA/ServiceNow integration ?
« on: December 01, 2022, 04:45:39 am »
The Service Now data model is quite comprehensive - if populated - going from strategic/top levels such as capabilities and services down to very granular information about applications, application components and infrastructure components.
If Service Now is the Master Source for all this, the information is very relevant for solution modelling and design but also for strategic analysis - portfolio health, tech lifecycles, vulnerability management etc.. What this means is that a combination of Sparx EA and Prolaborate - the "Sparx Architecture Platform" - can be really efficient and powerful when integrated to Service Now as you can model and reference the latest data in real time. Gone go the days of exporting the application list and attributes (for example) from Service Now and uploading (duplicating) them to Sparx only for the data to be stale quickly. Referencing those objects (elements) directly in Service Now with them always being current and modelling with them creating diagrams as you would normally (or Dashboards in Prolaborate) has to be the way to go. Doesn't it?
