Robust enterprise architecture from detailed design

To represent an enterprise architecture framework from different perspectives requires not just a single visual modeling language, but a combination of different well-defined modeling languages and tools. Visual Paradigm is a versatile enterprise architecture tool that supports a number of well-known languages, such as ArchiMate^® 3, Zachman Framework and Business Motivation Model (BMM). It also supports the definition of business rules and business terms within an organization.

Understand the relationships between components from different angles and view them concurrently on the diagrams.

Define an enterprise from different perspectives, organize business processes, business rules and design with Zachman Enterprise Architecture Framework.

Identify, capture and design organization motivation, vision, mission and strategy by industrial standard OMG Business Motivation Model (BMM).

Joyful teamwork

To develop enterprise architecture is a team effort instead of a one man show. Effective team collaboration is a key to producing quality work, and this is especially true for geographically dispersed teams. Without the help of collaboration function, people have to share project by manually file copying or by sending Email, which lead to problems like difficult to manage versions, unable to detect and resolve conflicted changes made between different team members. Visual Paradigm provides you with effective team collaboration support. With Visual Paradigm, development team can store project files in a central server. Team members can commit changes to server, which in turn creates a new version (called revision) per each commit, ready for future retrieval. Conflicted changes are well-spotted and prompted for resolution. Team working has never been so easy!

Simple steps, high quality work

Visual Paradigm is designed to be simple, direct and intuitive. It takes just a single mouse action to create shape, few more for a diagram, few more for a complete model, and that's it! On Visual Paradigm, it's easy to do everything in the simplest manner and after all, simplicity is what we aim for.

With resources-centric modeling interface, you can create shape and association at the same time. And no need to worry about the notation syntax.

Expressive model with UML, ERD, BPMN

In order to build a detailed software model, you need not just a single modeling language, but several more. Visual Paradigm provides industry-leading support for UML, ERD and BPMN, which allows you to model your system from different views and with different level of abstractions. Reference and transition can be added among elements to link models up. This covers all of your modeling needs for software system design, requirements capturing, database design and business process improvement.
