Enterprise architecture management creates transparency about the current and the future IT landscape and provides instruments for the analysis, creation, planning and control of the application landscape. Enterprise architecture management ties together business structures with the application landscape, its technical realisation and deployment infrastructure. Thus enterprise architecture management helps you controlling the complexity of your IT landscape and allows an up-to-date and efficient management of your IT.

 MetaModell

The model that untderlies iteraplan is freely extensible through an arbitrary number of user defined attributes. Company-specific extensions hence can easily be introduced through simple configuration steps, allowing to optimally fit iteraplan's EAM method to specific requirements and situations. Some practical examples of attributes:

  • Technical / functional responsibility
  • Key figures for qualitative and quantitative assessment of information systems
  • Percentage of internal and external contribution to creation, maintenance and operations of information systems
