Latest\u00a0Gartner Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Architecture Tools\u00a0positions\u00a0Avolution\u00a0in Leaders\u00a0quadrant for\u00a03rd\u00a0Year in a Row\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Avolution<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>has been recognized by Gartner Inc., the world\u2019s leading research and advisory company,\u00a0<\/span>as a Leader in its\u00a0<\/span>Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Architecture Tools<\/span><\/i>*, published\u00a0<\/span>22<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>October\u00a0<\/span>2019 for its ABACUS<\/a> platform. ABACUS supports architects\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>also\u00a0<\/span>the many teams\u00a0<\/span>and decision-makers\u00a0<\/span>they\u00a0<\/span>work with across the business<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Avolution\u2019s\u00a0Dr Tim O\u2019Neill said: \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to be positioned as a Leader in the Magic Quadrant\u00a0<\/span>for Enterprise Architecture Tools\u00a0<\/span>for the third year in a row,\u00a0and also\u00a0to be\u00a0<\/span>position<\/span>ed<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>furthest<\/span>\u00a0to the right<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>on the\u00a0<\/span>c<\/span>ompleteness of\u00a0<\/span>v<\/span>ision axis<\/span>\u00a0this year<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/span>Our aim is to\u00a0<\/span>make working with colleagues on data and strategy as easy as possible<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>using<\/span>\u00a0EA tools<\/span>\u00a0and apps of choice<\/span>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cEnterprise architects need to offer guidance which is clear and memorable, but at the same time doesn\u2019t oversimplify complexity.\u00a0<\/span>We believe our Leader position acknowledges our success firmly anchored in strong collaborative data management and analysis.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Gartner explains \u201c<\/span>EA tools\u00a0<\/span>are critical in helping to make EA a strategic planning discipline that delivers targeted<\/span>\u00a0business outcomes<\/span>,\u201d and that \u201c<\/span>EA tools support the capture, contextualization and visualization of information from businesses, ecosystems, solutions and technology domains.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As \u201cthe business becomes IT, and IT becomes the business\u201d enterprise architecture KPIs now often lie at the heart of successful business strategy. Up-to-date details, impact\u00a0<\/span>analysis,\u00a0<\/span>scenario analysis\u00a0<\/span>and\u00a0<\/span>comparison\u00a0<\/span>roadmaps\u00a0<\/span>need to be accessible to inform decision<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0by heads of departments, strategy managers and data owners.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

O\u2019Neill said:\u00a0<\/span>\u201cThe\u00a0<\/span>expert\u00a0<\/span>architects we work with know that having\u00a0<\/span>application<\/span>, infrastructu<\/span>re and\u00a0<\/span>business\u00a0<\/span>detail<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>held not only as data, but as\u00a0<\/span>meaningful relationships and diagrams\u00a0<\/span>really help<\/span>s<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>business-wide users understand\u00a0<\/span>the information and\u00a0<\/span>get things done. So, ABACUS repository content and dashboards<\/span>\u00a0are browser-based<\/a> and<\/span>\u00a0can be embedded in collaboration apps, intranets, or as a browser-based list you can provide via a link in an email.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Avolution\u00a0believes this<\/span>\u00a0Gartner<\/span>\u00a0recognition\u00a0<\/span>also\u00a0<\/span>demonstrates the\u00a0<\/span>importance of data-driven\u00a0<\/span>approaches\u00a0<\/span>and strong analytic\u00a0<\/span>functionality in best-practice enterprise architecture and digital strategy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>Avolution<\/span>\u00a0was the first EA vendor to\u00a0<\/span>offer graph database analytics to architects and other users.\u00a0<\/span>ABACUS<\/span>\u2019<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>no-code algorithms<\/a> are<\/span>\u00a0designed for\u00a0<\/span>business users\u00a0<\/span>and EA professionals\u00a0<\/span>who need to be in the driver\u2019s seat when constructing\u00a0<\/span>or quickly adjusting\u00a0<\/span>analytics for metrics such as cost and performance<\/span>\u00a0to compare current and future sce<\/span>n<\/span>arios<\/span>.<\/span>\u202f<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
