Agility and ScalabilityAgility and Scalability

Our industry-leading UML 2.1 and XMI 2.1 implementation keeps you current with the latest OMG standards.

A small foot-print, fast install and low price gets the team off the ground immediately.

A powerful model repository scales reliably to projects with 500,000+ elements.

Full Lifecycle TraceabilityFull Lifecycle Traceability

EA traces each phase of development to the next

Testers create test scripts directly within the model

The hierarchy view provides instant impact analysis

Team WorkTeam Work

Integrated Version Control supports team-based modeling and revision history.

Models can be stored on a database server to allow concurrent access for multiple users.

Teams collaborate with the built-in model discussion forum.

ProductivityProductivity

Enterprise Architect delivers from the model:

Customizable, high-quality documentation in Word and Web-based formats

Code Engineering for over 10 languages including C++, C#, Java, VB, Python and others

Automated Model-to-Model transformations using the Model Driven Architecture (MDA).


ProductivityProductivity

New in 2006:

The Model Pattern Wizard gets projects started quickly

The Quick Linker provides rapid, context sensitive modeling

A powerful, Build-Run-Debug facility for analyzing legacy systems. Let’s see an example…

ExtensibilityExtensibility

Enterprise Architect can be extended for domain-specific modeling

MDG (Model Driven Generator) Technologies provide the capability

MDG Technologies are plug-ins that provide:

Additional modeling constructs and diagram types

Easy-to-use toolboxes for ‘drag and drop’ modeling

Reusable Profiles, Model Patterns and MDA transform templates

Specialized constraint checks for model validation


Extensibility throughExtensibility throughMDG TechnologiesMDG Technologies

In 2006, Sparx Systems released new MDG Technologies for Enterprise Architect:

Systems Engineering (OMG SysML)Business Process Modeling (BPMN)Distributed Information/Application design (OMG DDS)


MDG Technology for SysMLMDG Technology for SysML

Complex Block diagrams can be created using SysML elements and

relationships

MDG Technology for SysML provides a rich set of constructs for Systems

Engineering

Models can be validated against SysML-specific

constraints


MDG Technology for BPMNMDG Technology for BPMN

The same capabilities are also available for Business Process Modeling with

MDG Technology for BPMN

Enterprise ArchitectEnterprise ArchitectBreaks New Ground in 2006Breaks New Ground in 2006

Enterprise Architect 6.5 released:

The first modeling tool to support the official OMG Systems Modeling Language (SysML)

Supports the latest UML 2.1 and XMI 2.1 standards

Introduces Object Workbench to Run, Debug and Interact with live model objects

Many new and enhanced productivity tools

Integrates tightly with leading IDE’s, Eclipse and Visual Studio Team System

Offers a wealth of high-end features for a fraction of the cost of competing products.


In 2006, Sparx Systems reached a milestone with 100,000 Enterprise Architect licenses sold worldwide, cementing

its position as an industry leader and innovator.

With significant and positive recognition from leading analysts, such as Gartner, IDC and VDC, 2006 has proven

to be a highly successful and groundbreaking year for Sparx.
