A high level tour of Sparx Systems latest product release, Prolaborate.
Prolaborate adds a vital information layer to Sparx Systems modeling tool suite, addressing the need of end users and non-modelers alike to be informed by the enterprise model.
In this webinar we'll show how Prolaborate empowers relevant stakeholders, including C-level executives, analysts and other business users, with curated views of the model.
We'll show how:
Sparx Systems Prolaborate is the 'Next Step' for the modeling community. Prolaborate allows users to create tailored set of views that reduce complexity, focus attention and increase the accessibility of model information for the non-modeling community who are more concerned with consuming the models. Prolaborate also provides dashboards, impact analysis, gated reviews and much more to leverage information from the model to provide unique windows into the model for a custom audience.

No. WebEA and Prolaborate are two different products that serve different target audiences and application goals. WebEA will still be the web front end for the core Modelers to refer to their models with all the details and full model structure. Prolaborate is for the rest of the team, the non-modeling community, the stakeholders, vendors and all the non-tech users. WebEA and Prolaborate are web platforms that offer live model sharing and collaboration. Visit the Sparx Systems website to analyze the offerings in detail and compare and contrast WebEA and Prolaborate.
WebEA is designed as a web front end for model authors and reviewers. It allows modeling experts to refer to their models in detail and with the full model structure. Prolaborate is for the rest of the team, the non-modeling community, the stakeholders, vendors and all the non-tech users.
WebEA is the web based front end to the Pro Cloud Server that provides a "no frills" and immediate view of an Enterprise Architect model exactly as the modeler has built it. It is fast, works across multiple devices and includes access to many of the extended Enterprise Architect features such as Resources, Tests, Maintenance and etc. It also includes tools to perform ad hoc SQL queries and other low level actions familiar to experienced Enterprise Architect users.
Prolaborate is the Next Step in the evolution of an Enterprise Architect model and provides a completely new way of approaching model content. Highly customized viewpoints tailored for specific users, social and collaborative tools, impact and decision analysis capabilities and other refinements make Prolaborate the perfect tool for a much broader audience. Take an Enterprise Architect model to C level executives with confidence. Distribute process flows to stakeholders in a form that facilitates optimal implementation and acceptance.

It can only be edited by people that have Dashboarding permissions approved.Are report filters designed by a wizard or coded directly using SQL / JScript?
The reports can be built using Wizards based on Model structure. The advanced graphs are driven primarily by SQL queries. Future builds of Sparx Systems Prolaborate will focus on simplifying this process even further.
