Avolution\u2019s Dr Tim O\u2019Neill said:<\/p>\n
\u201cSyracom\u2019s survey is a great validation that enterprise architects who use ABACUS can move very quickly to deliver value, provide advice and guide the business towards its goals.<\/p>\n
“Our clients model systems and processes, run analytics and roadmaps for digital transformation. Companies gain insights which boost customer experience, reduce costs, ensure cybersecurity, manage risk, and run systems efficiently.<\/p>\n
“A key feature of ABACUS is that we\u2019ve made it very quick and straightforward to get data in and out of the tool: you can round trip with MS Excel, Visio, SharePoint, CMDBs and many other sources.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
The Syracom survey was based on a detailed assessment of enterprise architecture management capability, metamodel features, customization, filter & search, visualization, import\/export capabilities, reports, process management, user management and strategy.<\/p>\n
