 System Architect Specials
DEA has been a services and solutions partner of Popkin Software since 1995, and has provided training and consulting services for Popkin's System Architect product ever since. We use System Architect on most of our projects. Here’s why:
- System Architect provides powerful graphical modeling for a wide variety of needs and architecture perspectives – data, business, organization, application, and technology.
- The tool’s ease of extensibility is unsurpassed. That allows us to tailor models and definitions to each organization we work with.
- The open repository architecture allows us to extract information, analyze it, and create sophisticated deliverables.
| Throughout this site, you will find many services that focus on System Architect, including:
We also have written several white papers that focus on customizing System Architect for special purposes. We ask that you register to download these papers. You'll only have to register once.
- How System Architect can support Sarbanes-Oxley compliance efforts Now that publicly traded companies have first-year experience in reporting compliance with the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, lessons have been learned and improvement efforts are underway in anticipation of reporting compliance next year. This paper describes how one insurance company is taking a different approach to improve its SOX compliance reporting by using annotated Process Flow Maps in System Architect to document the financial risks and financial controls.
- Customizing System Architect to support Six Sigma Six Sigma helps companies achieve virtually defect-free performance in manufacturing, design, engineering, and business processes through the use of statistical and other means. Originally, Six Sigma was only applied to "physical processes," such as those performed in manufacturing. Six Sigma has now been expanded to include the "knowledge processes" that are not as explicit as the physical ones. This paper explores how System Architect can be customized to support the Six Sigma approach.
- Turning System Architect into a repository goldmine Many organizations grapple with issues of integrating and reusing data and software requirements across the enterprise, across the system life cycle, and across planned, current, and legacy systems. If you use System Architect, you can get much more than you might be aware by knowing how to dig deeper into the repository gold mine.
