Corporate IT resources constitute a complex system. An enterprise architecture (EA) describes this system and establishes standards for creating and updating it. Understanding the system requires a number of views—business processes, organizational structure, applications, data, interfaces, and technologies. Multiple perspectives must be taken into account, ranging from the enterprise view at a highly abstract level to detailed views of individual business units, design aspects, and physical systems and devices.

With the tried-and-tested ARIS Value Engineering for EA procedural model, this solution combines market-leading BPM technologies with global EA standards. It enables customers to plan, visualize and evaluate technologies, processes, data and organizations through a central repository, eliminating redundancies.

The consistent integration of all data in the ARIS Solution for Enterprise Architecture Management means that architecture elements can be reused across all views in the IT Landscape Planning, IT Architecture Management, and IT Design & Development solution scenarios.
