Key Benefits
Reusing existing data is not only sensible, but also ensures the
architecture recognized by the business experts/owners involved,
saves time and money, and assures the credibility of the
Architecture and the Architects. A large number of organizations
have previously used other enterprise architecture tools (which
turn out to be difficult to use) to build models and meta-data;
with Data Exchange, migration is quick and easy, and the creation
of new artifacts and deliverables can be sped up significantly.
User resistance can also be minimized by allowing process owners
to continue to editing content in Excel with Data Exchange managing
the scheduled import back into the Process Repository.
