<\/p>\nMany enterprise architects find the usability of off-the-shelf metamodels and frameworks limiting.<\/p>\n
As your projects progress, particularly as they reach the critical delivery stages — where time pressure is on and detail must be exact — the ability to tweak, tailor or adjust your metamodel can become extremely important.<\/p>\n
But in a lot of EA approaches, the process of getting a consultant or vendor to design your metamodel can be costly, slow and beset by the problems normal in any client-supplier relationship (they can\u2019t read your mind!).<\/p>\n
In ABACUS you can quickly create your own metamodels and frameworks either from existing libraries or from scratch. Most EAs find that the simplest approach is to adapt standards provided in our library such as BMM, BPMN, ITIL, TOGAF, Zachman, DODAF etc using simple \u201cright-click\u201d and \u201cdrag-and-drop\u201d commands.<\/p>\n
Test and modify these, then share them with other users.<\/p>\n

Hundreds of companies use ABACUS to tailor metamodels and frameworks to the needs of their own company and industry. The most common approaches are hybrid metamodels using BMM+P3O+BPMN+ITIL+TOGAF or simply BizBOK+TOGAF.<\/p>\n
