Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

The recently published Forrester Wave™ on enterprise architecture (EA) tools demonstrates that the real benefit of these tools is not in the modeling itself, but in the modeling that supports real EA objectives — such as knowledge-sharing, collaboration on standards, and providing aggregated dashboards that help decision-makers choose from different scenarios. This document is the first in a series that explores some emerging EA capabilities. Avolution's Abacus provides a tool to help the business, enterprise architects, and IT operations collaborate, simulate, and finally choose from different scenarios that outline the choices according to IT and business metrics.
