Software AG Positioned in the Leaders Quadrant for Enterprise Architecture Tools
Nov. 26, 2012 11:52 AM
Software AG today announced that it has been positioned in the
Leaders Quadrant by Gartner, Inc., a leading industry analyst firm, in
its recently released Magic Quadrant for Enterprise Architecture Tools1.
Enterprise Architecture (EA) tools bring business value by integrating,
analyzing and communicating structured and unstructured information
about a wide range of aspects of the organization. They help companies
ensure that IT design and development follows a path that enables the
achievement of essential business goals.
“Core to our strategy of providing customers with maximum business value
is to establish an agile enterprise architecture which allows IT in
alignment with business goals and strategies,” said Dr. Wolfram Jost,
Chief Technology Officer and member of the Group Executive Board,
Software AG. “We are proud to be named in the Leaders Quadrant for
Enterprise Architecture Tools in this latest Magic Quadrant. Considering
that EA matures into a strategic planning discipline that must be
operationalized, ARIS facilitates support for this discipline with its
enterprise-class performance, ease-of-use, comprehensive feature set and
support for cross-enterprise collaboration. Our customers acknowledge
the consistent evolution of ARIS towards social, cloud, mobile and big
data/analytics.”
This year, Gartner underlined the increasing challenges that enterprise
architects are facing: “Enterprise architects, beyond the
getting-started stage, are eventually challenged with a number of
problems beyond the capabilities of office productivity tools to
support. These challenges include managing a large number of artifacts;
capturing the complex relationships between many elements across those
artifacts; conducting gap analysis, impact analysis, scenario planning
and modeling; and presenting information to stakeholders. The enterprise
architecture (EA) tool market has evolved to produce professional-grade
tools designed to address these challenges.”
ARIS Solution for Enterprise Architecture Management offers and answers
these challenges by combining software technology, methodology, best
practices and expertise in Enterprise Architecture. The solution
supports all major EA frameworks and provides comprehensive analytic
capabilities to improve decision making with dynamic mashups based on
data from multiple sources. Companies are able to deliver added value
with their EA initiatives, be it by improving transparency, agility and
flexibility across business and IT or by reducing IT costs and
complexity.
