Dragon1 Inc. is a SaaS technology company that develops and markets innovative, cloud-based business enterprise software (such as CRM or ERP) to help companies take control of their complexity and transformation.
We do this by holistically looking at organizations and visualizing and measuring all dependencies and impact. From the ambitions of the board for the choice of implementing new systems, developing digital products and services, retraining skills of employees, to the secure environment of the IT infrastructure.
Project Atlas with Blueprints enabling business professionals in organizations to execute their activities to do enterprise transformation, innovation, and operations orchestration.
We sell globally, with our partners, software user licenses (PRO edition, BUSINESS edition, or ENTERPRISE edition) of the collaboration platform. So, individuals and large project, software, and architecture teams create interconnected, dynamic Business Blueprinting to provide leadership with insight and a strategic overview, enabling well-founded decisions.
Dragon1 is focused on accelerating digital transformation through agile, data-driven enterprise architecture. People visualize concepts, business processes, new business models, IT systems, strategy, data, patterns, goals, vision, and more to gain insight and an overview of the desired and undesired cohesion and dependencies inside or outside their organization. With these blueprints (i.e., big pictures), you can analyze, measure, and manage (via dashboards and reference models) to support decision-making. For example, where are the security risks in the IT infrastructure?
An Architecture Center is often built in the Viewer with all vital information from policy, standards, markets, products, security, services, processes, applications, and operational data flows. This includes the strategy blueprint, cybersecurity blueprint, IT infrastructure blueprint, etc., as well as detailed Capability maps, Process-Application landscapes and portfolios, Technology roadmaps, Concept and Principles diagrams.
As a software development saas company, we focus on software that increases comfort, ease of use, benefit, and control. Customers state that Dragon1 is the best EA/BPM/Security software they have ever encountered and used.
Go to the demos to experience for yourself how easy we have made it for business professionals to create, steer, and manage the organization.
Our Vision
We, Dragon1 Inc., have a clear vision on five topics: people, organizations, knowledge, information, and thought leadership.
The four topics can and should be visualized anytime for better communication and collaboration.
People often have unused capabilities and competencies
Our vision on people is that they need, can, and should be better relocated in organizations using their capabilities and competencies optimally.
Organizations need to use people & information more effective
Our vision on organizations is that they need to use people and information much more effectively to survive the competition. And that even goes for governmental organizations.
Knowledge needs to be made reusable
Our vision on knowledge is that knowledge present in people's heads and organizations is not as reusable as it should be. If made more reusable, knowledge can be used as a competitive edge.
Information can be of strategic impact
Our vision on information is that most organizations are unaware of how they can utilize information to their benefit. If used appropriately, information (presented visually, of course) will have a significant impact, as it supports every strategic decision.
Thought Leadership
Our vision is that the EA field must evolve through new ideas. We cannot stand still, because the context in which people work and do their work is constantly changing. Mark Paauwe is a thought leader conducting scientific research into EA Principles and Enterprise Visualizations, to make organizations less complex and function more easily.
He also has an EA Tool GITHUB project on Dragon1. There you temporarily can see some exciting and new innovative features.
Our History
In 2005, Dragon1 Inc. started as a consultancy and training organization. The way we have practiced enterprise architecture has always been different from the rest, with a strong analogy to building architecture. This new 'way of working' with Visual Enterprise Architecture, as we call it, has been utilized to develop the Dragon1 open EA Method. At the beginning of 2013, it was internationally recognized as an open EA method.
This new way of thinking required a new wave of software support that existing tools could not supply. Dragon1, as a method, focuses on designing, conceptualizing, and visualizing views in diagrams, sketches, drawings, and photographic images. This brought to start developing Dragon1 as a Platform of which Dragon1 as Enterprise Architecture Tool, BPM Tool, ArchiMate Tool, UML Tool, and Togaf Tool are the first product lines in this product family. Next, the Project Management Tool and Tools for Visualizing Data are the second product lines. The Chatbot AI Answers and AI Checks and Digital Twin Software are the third product lines in this product family.
We always research and develop software using Shark, our software development method, in close relationship with our customers. We call that Open Innovation. This has brought us to where we are now: a software company specializing in collecting and visualizing information for informed decision-making.
Our Mission
We enable EA practitioners to engage the business and CxOs. Business outcomes are the key focus of Enterprise Architecture. Business people, business language, and business visuals need to achieve this.
Our Values
We are focused on people and organizations. People's values are professionalizing & knowledge creation. The organization's values are sustainability and information as key production factors.
Our Ambition
Between now and three years, it is our ambition that Dragon1 becomes the new visualization standard to solve economic, environmental, and social issues at a strategic level, building enterprises 4.0.
