Avolution, the market leader in metrics-based analysis of architectures, today announced that the latest release of its enterprise modelling solution, ABACUS, has been certified against The Open Group’s standard,\u00a0ArchiMate 2.0.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ArchiMate standard defines a common language for describing the construction and operation of business processes, organisational structures, information flows, IT systems, and technical infrastructure, and supports the use of Enterprise Modeling tools such as ABACUS in the design, assessment, and communication of the consequences of decisions and changes within and between these business domains.<\/p>\n

ABACUS 4.0\u2019s support of ArchiMate 2.0, and its official certification, confirms ABACUS\u2019s conformance to industry best-practice open standards. ABACUS 4.0 is also certified against the latest Open Group Architecture Framework,\u00a0TOGAF 9.1<\/a>, and is the only tool to be certified against both Open Group standards.<\/p>\n

Dr Tim O’Neill, founder of Avolution, said \u201cOrganisations needing to base their Enterprise or Solution Architectures on ArchiMate can confidently utilise ABACUS 4.0, as well as Avolution’s training, professional services and partners\u201d.<\/p>\n

In addition to ArchiMate and TOGAF, ABACUS also supports more than 100 other industry\u00a0frameworks and notations<\/a>, including; DoDAF\/MoDAF, FEAF, PEAF, BPMN and UML. ABACUS’s ontological approach means that meta-models are very easily modified or created, all through ‘right-clicks’ or \u2018drag-and-drops\u2019 in the standard GUI.<\/p>\n

About Avolution<\/strong>
\nAvolution provides the ABACUS\u00ae solution which is unique to the enterprise modelling space in that it can create multiple solution alternatives (architectures) and then run various simulations (Discrete Event, Monte Carlo etc) against each alternative for metrics such as Performance, Cost and Agility. In so doing it can recommend the optimal path for investment, with predictive and quantitative certainty.<\/p>\n
