Visible Enterprise Architecture and Business Modeling Center |
Welcome to the Visible Enterprise Architecture and Business Modeling Center. Here you will find guides, tutorials and proven practices on building an Enterprise Architecture and Business Model for your organization.
If you have any questions, please contact our support team.
But before you proceed any further, please review an overview of the Visible Analyst commercial edition video clip
so you can get a good idea of the type of models you will be building as a part of your Enterprise Architecture and Business Modeling initiative.
Now that you have reviewed the overview of what type of models can be built
with the Visible Analyst, the next step is to look at one or more of the
modeling areas that you will want to understand in more detail. You can do this by reviewing the recorded flash demos below that depict some of the more
detailed areas. (You will need to use Internet Explorer).
The next step is to download and review the
Tutorial Guide that is available as an eBook.
Upon opening the Tutorial Guide, go to the Addendum
section that reviews some of the more advanced features
of the Visible Analyst. The intent of Addendum is to
explain these features while building upon your knowledge gained
following an understanding of some of the more basic functions.
The final step is to obtain a license for the Visible Analyst.
If you don't already have a valid serial number then you will need to subscribe to a license by clicking on the "Subscribe Now" link on the top of the left side bar. Once you install the product, Restore Tutorial project "DMV" which represents an example of an Enterprise Architecture for a Division of Motor Vehicles typical of one you might find in your state or province. All of the models are completed, including links
between the models. Here are the steps to follow in order to Restore the project:
- Click
here to download the Visible Analyst project
DMV zip file.
- Unzip the file to a temporary folder on the
PC, C:\Temp for example.
- Start the Visible Analyst and choose the Tools
| Restore menu item.
- On the first restore dialog, enter the name
of the project into the Name field and click OK.
It is not necessary to modify either of the path's
displayed at the top of the dialog box.
- At the second dialog, click the Browse button
to point to the folder where you unzipped the
files, C:\Temp in this example, and click OK.
The project will be restored to the Visible Analyst.
- Select the File | Open Diagram menu item to
display a list of the diagram types. Click the
+ icon next to a diagram type to view the diagrams.
Double click on a diagram to open the diagram.
You are also invited to view our eLearning videos on the left side bar.
While viewing the videos, take special note of the Planning
Statements, Business Process Model and the interrelationships
across model artifacts. These eLearning videos demonstrate how to use the Visible Analyst to develop and implement an Enterprise Architecture and Business Model for the project tutorial,
Division of Motor Vehicles.
Each one of the eLearning videos are designed to help you better understand how an organization's strategy, goals, roles, data, processes and events are represented as an integrated part of an Enterprise Architecture. You will learn how to represent these objects as planning statements and how to perform impact analysis (i.e., how a strategy could impact processes, what information is needed to support a process, how an event might impact roles).
