CogniViz for Enterprise Architecture

In recent years, Enterprise Architecture (EA) has grown in significance to become a vital component to competitive advantage by managing complex layers and categories of IT and business data. However, current EA tools do have limitations. Often they organize information in discreet or “siloed” repositories or have relied on cryptic, time-consuming report programming languages to get valuable information out. Trying to leverage them for more than canned reports and pre-planned queries can make answering strategic questions difficult.

CogniViz sits atop existing Enterprise Architecture solutions and empowers you to answer questions and undertake strategic analysis never before possible, allowing for the execution of complex ad-hoc queries and providing strategic, numerical and non-numerical answers from all data sets. This cross-solution capability makes CogniViz’s value/ROI increase as the disparate and/or global nature of your data and solutions increases.
