Enterprise Architecture (EA) Tools Reviews and Ratings

What are Enterprise Architecture Tools?

Gartner defines the market for enterprise architecture (EA) tools as tools that allow users to capture interrelationships and interdependencies within and across an organization’s ecosystem of applications, capabilities, processes, operating models, roles, information and technologies. EA tools provide a central repository to capture data and metadata about artifacts that describe the enterprise. Users build models and viewpoints to represent the relationships between these artifacts, helping describe and shape the future of the enterprise. EA tools enable analysis of trends, disruptions, and other drivers of enterprise change to deliver realistic roadmaps and explore potential scenarios.

EA tools provide a means to model the IT and business aspects of the enterprise, in support of business outcome delivery. Doing so requires the collaboration of multiple stakeholders across the organization, with each playing a different role at a different time. The models and methods used by the stakeholders will vary depending on their role, and must be integrated and connected to other models to be useful.
