Enterprise Architecture Tools

Explore The Enterprise Architecture Toolkit

As businesses evolve and technology becomes more critical in enabling business decisions, a greater emphasis has been placed on understanding the array of components that make up an Enterprise and how they are interrelated. Enterprise Architecture tools are able to capture these components and their relationships, not only for the current enterprise architecture but also for future state enterprise architectures. This allows organisations to perform analysis on the gaps and impacts that an evolution towards future state enterprise architecture might have.

The following list contains tools that are typically used for Enterprise Architecture. Please be aware that most of these tools will not cover solution design or solution development. However, many of the tools can interface with typical engineering tools such as Rational's toolset.
