Rational System Architect XT
Features and benefits
Overview
IBM® Rational® System Architect® XT is a Web-based enterprise architecture (EA) and business process reporting platform that works in conjunction with Rational System Architect. These two solutions share a common repository, enabling complete enterprise support for your actionable architecture. Because these solutions work together, extended teams have assurances that the data they are working with is accurate and current. The Rational System Architect XT and Rational System Architect solutions address all aspects of an organization’s enterprise architecture from modeling to publishing, analysis, and execution.
There are typically two types of enterprise architecture user groups: co-located enterprise architecture teams that need a solution to support complex modeling, simulation, and execution, and extended teams that require architecture analysis, custom reporting, and lightweight modification in real time. The Rational System Architect XT environment provides the extended team with the analytical tools they need to:
- Analyze and maintain the enterprise architecture repository in real time through a Web-based interface
- Leverage pre-defined templates to promote effective decision-making at all levels of the organization
- Personalize sessions for easy data access
- Minimize user training and eliminate client installation (server installation only)
- Configure the user interface and navigation browser
- Support existing System Architect repositories
- Search for common artifacts
- Provide role-based access to control viewing and update usage
Enterprise decision support
IBM® Rational® System Architect® XT includes predefined templates for the commercial, private sector, federal agencies, and the Department of Defense that allow for architecture analysis support with little, if any, modification. Analysis templates provide multiple views into the organization – strategic, operational, and technical – and focus on the information needed to promote effective decision-making at each level. Users have direct access to architecture models or alternative views, such as pie charts, bar charts, and Gantt charts, for trend analysis and diagnostics regarding overall architecture health.
Global architecture access
The IBM® Rational® System Architect® XT environment enables an organization to share its architecture across the enterprise. Subject matter experts and business professionals can now view, in real time, their own specific architecture artifacts. Where appropriate, users can update the architecture through a Web browser, minimizing the need for enterprise-wide tool training and deployment. Because Rational System Architect XT uses encrypted HTTP (HTTPS) and supports Unicode characters, an organization can share its architecture over an intranet or the Internet, helping to create a global decision support platform for extended teams.
Transforming data into information
The IBM® System Architect® XT solution presents the architecture to users in sessions configurable to their role and analysis needs. Features such as bookmarks help simplify navigation to the information that users frequently need. The embedded search engine helps users locate common architecture artifacts quickly and easily. Because architecture navigation is performed through a standard Web browser, little or no training is required to access architecture data, helping the entire enterprise to benefit and transfer knowledge.
