Gartner 2004

Note: We had not yet developed the Graphical Modeler when the analysis was conducted

"Forrester evaluated leading enterprise architecture (EA) tools vendors across 120 criteria and found that Casewise, IDS Scheer, MEGA International, Proforma, and Telelogic confirmed their EA tools leadership in this double-digit growth market. Relatively new entrant alfabet, Agilense, Troux, and Adaptive are also Strong Performers, but lack the most advanced features like simulation or templates." Executive summary from: The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Architecture Tools, Q2 2007

Agilense is a Strong Performer in the EA tools market. Agilense's product aims to help enterprise architects share EA knowledge. The company is one of the trendsetters in the "change management" EA tools category. Agilense also brings an interesting SaaS approach to the EA tools market, a good fit for a market where potential buyers often have difficulty justifying the significant upfront investment in software licenses required by other vendors. Agilense needs to continue to invest in life-cycle management to continue to differentiate from the veteran EA vendors that are also progressing on that front. The Forrester Wave™: Enterprise Architecture Tools, Q2 2007

Infosys has done an annual survey of the EA marketplace across their clients and other large organizaitons for the past four years Newest report Highlights that EA is now being leveraged much more widely for strategic transformation EA is seen as even more important with the economic downturn Shows the tools in most common use

We have TOGAF Certified personnel We have a TOGAF commercial license We have developed a practical and intensive TOGAF certification course Inspired Meta Model enhanced to fully support TOGAF Tool support All TOGAF architectural artefacts, viewpoints and outputs catered for Archi is Certified as supporting TOGAF

An emerging standard from a consortium of commercial and academic entities (originally in the Netherlands) Provides a standard set of Architecture Deliverables and notation for their representation Moves underway to integrate this with TOGAF... Our meta model and graphical modeler can support

Really integrated view extends beyond EA tooling Strategy Initiatives (Programmes, Project) Infrastructure Management (e.g. CMDB) Engineering Tools Process Orchestration Tools... So we need an analysis/reporting/vizualiazation layer..
