Avolution, provider of leading enterprise architecture tool ABACUS, will sponsor and exhibit at this year\u2019s Gartner Symposium and ITxpo in Barcelona on 6-10 November 2016.<\/h6>\n

Bringing together the region\u2019s most influential CIOs and senior IT executives, the Gartner Symposium and ITxpo will explore how CIOS can achieve \u201ca 360 degree vision\u201d and \u201cdrive digital to the core.\u201d<\/p>\n

Avolution\u2019s Peter Collins said: \u201cSome of the most urgent needs of CIOs which the EA team can deliver on include the ability to quickly centralize data from sources such as SharePoint, Excel and CMDBs in a digitized repository so it can be accessed quickly to inform strategy.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the same time, CIOs need to democratize IT and business process information and communicate options and objectives clearly so that they empower business units.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re seeing a move towards IT and enterprise architecture practices which allow business units to take ownership of their IT needs. But to do this well \u2013 avoiding duplication of resources and “application anarchy” \u2013 the CIOs office needs a repository of information configured correctly for their business which can be kept up to date across a global company.\u201d<\/p>\n

In large multinationals, hundreds of architects and business stakeholders can use ABACUS 5.0 collaboratively to document the current IT environment and understand how it serves the needs of business. The graph-database back-end<\/a> means that standard frameworks can be configured quickly in the tool to adapt to the users\u2019 business.<\/p>\n

\u201cDemand for the cloud-based deployment available for ABACUS 5.0 has been high. Enterprise architects are reporting that by moving to a browser-based modeling environment they are able to avoid install and maintenance issues and scale their user-base easily. This leads to understanding and ownership of enterprise architecture intelligence throughout the business,\u201d said Collins.<\/p>\n

Quick and rigorous assessment of which options will best serve the needs of the business are also key to enterprise architecture success. These can be undertaken using the best-in-class analytics and roadmapping functionality in ABACUS 5.0.<\/p>\n

Avolution\u2019s Dr Tim O\u2019Neill will also be presenting at the Symposium\/ITxpo about \u201c5 Quick wins that give Enterprise Architects an edge.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
