Still using spreadsheets to author your Business Architecture?Well, you’re not alone. In a recent Forrester survey of over 250 organizations, 80% of the respondents said they used PowerPoint, Excel, or Visio. Thirty percent or less also use a variety of other tools including the typical EA tool suites and process modeling tools. Apparently, there is a big gap in the Business Architecture tool market… Until now!

A powerful, easy to use, low cost tool is now available – IRIS Business ArchitectBe done with the static approach of desktop tools. Already aligned with the Business Architecture Guild Body of Knowledge (BIZBOK™), IRIS Business Architect enables the creation of standard BA models:

Business Capabilities viewCapabilities provide a complete view of "what" a business does. Customer Account Management, for example, is a capability. Capabilities are organized into the business capability map, a hierarchical topology of what the business does. This map serves as a foundational view of the business that eliminates the inherent complexity involved in discussing "how" something is being done or "who" is doing it. Capabilities provide the basis for crafting business-driven transformation strategies, which often include improved or new, automated solutions.

Organizational view Organizational view creates a structural overview of the business. This includes traditional business units and subunits but can be extended to include collaborative teams, outsourcers, and other external stakeholders. Organizational views can be enhanced by mapping business units to strategies, capabilities, and initiatives.

Business Value Stream, Strategy and Initiative viewsStrategy and Initiative maps are created to capture the tactical and strategic goals that drive an organization forward. Maps for Value Streams depict the activities involved in how a business delivers end-to-end stakeholder value.

Models can be edited either graphically or via an easy to use editor

Once created, edit and maintain your maps with ease

Heat MapsWithin each maps, IRIS enables color coding used to identify how certain aspects of a business are performing. Elements of a map can be color tagged to communicate measures such as urgency, responsibilities, etc.
