The future of enterprise architecture is to manage and model this data in the cloud.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIn Austin, we\u2019re looking forward to demonstrating ABACUS Cloud, which we\u2019ve designed for easy collaborative cloud-based modeling and roadmapping. The tool allows teams to merge data and manage conflicts even when working in different time-zones.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Avolution\u2019s ABACUS toolset has been licensed for the latest release of ArchiMate 3.0 and also for TOGAF 9.1, both from The Open Group. Dr O\u2019Neill will be discussing how to leverage these standards for best-practice enterprise architecture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor Open Group conference attendees we\u2019ll also be demonstrating how to build an enterprise architecture roadmap and how to use multiple architecture analysis and proprietary ABACUS algorithms to analyze complex business ecosystems.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The full ABACUS product suite will be available for delegates to view at the conference and Avolution experts will be available to discuss:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Developing an enterprise architecture strategy<\/li>\n<li>Application management strategies and aligning technologies with your business<\/li>\n<li>Best-practice Enterprise Architecture roadmapping<\/li>\n<li>Using ABACUS for Enterprise
