erwin Evolve 360 Current - Release Notes

Welcome To The New erwin Evolve 360

This is the first commercial release of erwin Evolve 360.

Overview

erwin Evolve 360 is a full-featured, cloud-based toolkit for Enterprise Architects, offering industry frameworks that enable you to model, design and plan the evolution of your business. 

The toolkit includes a multitude of data entry and collection options, from forms to REST endpoints, ensuring you can easily absorb data from other areas of your business and build out your catalogs.

Once the data is inside the platform, it is easy to visualize it through graphs, charts and customizable tables, panels, and dashboards. Sharing and collaborating with colleagues through access-controlled communities and targeted views.

Automatic diagrams, take the weight out of building architectural landscapes, and organizational charts, with many more layouts coming soon.

When you need to draw a diagram, the more than capable model-based drawing component will ensure you can precisely describe your architecture. Complete with out of the box templates for many core diagram types, it can also be customized, displaying metrics, indicators and related data pulled live from your model onto the canvas.

So, you have modeled your current state, and designed your future, now you need to describe the plan.

You are not left short here either, with Gantt views, Lists and Kanban boards to ensure the transition is as easy to communicate as the design.

Best of all, if you need to extend or adapt anything, there is an integrated meta model designer, and view editor that can ensure you can display things just how you need.

Our first release provides all you need to get started in Enterprise Architecture, but we are also excited to tell you how our App Store based platform, coupled with a shared metamodel and data store, means that new Apps will be coming very soon. Each Application can show a different view of the shared content, and with access controls, it can cater to all audiences, ensuring they are only able to see what they need.

Can’t wait for our team of experts to build that Application you need, well that’s not a problem either, as Evolve 360 comes with a complete Application Editor. That will help you create your own applications from a choice of pre-loaded views or views you can build yourself from scratch.

We are excited to see where you take Evolve 360.
