Collaboration for Enterprise Solutions
Enable Efficient Collaboration for Company-Wide Transformation and Innovation
We all know that technology innovation, digital transformation, or cloud migration are complex things to do. That is why more and more organizations are making use of the Dragon1 Platform.
On this Enterprise Architecture platform, we have integrated all tasks and tools to enable efficient collaboration between all stakeholders. Everyone can do his or her work in one place: The Board of directors, Managers, all Business & IT stakeholders, the Architects, Suppliers, and Consultants. They can get into the flow of innovation and transformation. Together.
Enterprise Architecture Software
Web Application Software Suite for Visualization, Analytics, and Management of Strategy, Architecture, and Transformation
For a long, architects have been working alone creating magnificent architectural products using their applications. However, key stakeholders in strategic projects did not make use of these products enough. For one they did not have easy access to architecture data. From a strategic point of view, this can cause a lack of guidance and control of projects.
Dragon 1 as a platform provides a highly integrated suite of web applications on top of a repository. With these applications, users can create, share, and analyze models and diagrams of strategy, architecture, and transformation data.
When new technologies and concepts have to be implemented, you need a strong Enterprise Architecture practice in the organization. Every transformation starts with a new strategy and finds its way through disruptive concept design all to projects for implementation.
Use the Dragon1 SaaS Platform to collaborate, share, monitor, and inspire to ensure progress in any projects by creating architecture products together with all stakeholders.
Smart Transformation requires Enterprise Architecture

With an online mindset, the Dragon1 Platform provides participants of company-wide transformation more control. Architects have more time to focus on their designs, managers on reports, project workers to develop and build solutions, and directors to make decisions.
The Architecture Platform helps people to accelerate in what they do best. In your way. What works for you.
Enterprise Architecture at Maturity Level 1
The Dragon1 Platform promotes and supports mature working with architecture at three defined levels of maturity. The first level is to provide every stakeholder and project with accessible architecture products they could make use of and do so on many occasions.
You can make visualizations for the various stakeholders as part of intelligent business solutions to show the impact and dependencies on the existing organization and systems. On the platform, you can create and maintain these visualizations in an EA transformation atlas and/or Security atlas, an enterprise architecture dossier with up-to-date architecture planning and reports weekly. All focused on realizing the company-wide transformations.

Co-Create an Enterprise Architecture Dossier
As shown in the visualization above, having an enterprise architecture dossier and having approved products for stakeholders and projects is key to working with enterprise architecture.
Below, you see examples of architecture products you can create on the collaboration platform, that are part of the baseline in any enterprise architecture dossier.
Together these products create a strategic Line of Sight. Take a look at the products you can create and align on the Architecture Platform:

Doing Complex Projects on the Enterprise Architecture Platform
Dragon1 provides you with a unique combination of Software as a Service (SaaS) platform and Enterprise Architecture method, making sure all the stakeholders and architects of projects collaborate optimally.
Every step everyone takes can be made transparent. Every product that is made can be shared and controlled. Steering projects can be done much more directly and effectively by project portfolio management because everything in the project is made visible and tangible.
Because it is much easier to create complex project products in collaboration, no important documents like concept design sketches, programs of requirements, and grand designs are skipped due to time pressure.
This visualization shows how Dragon 1 supports transformations and implementations from AS-IS to TO-BE.
How Dragon1 Supports Successful Project Implementation
In the above visualization you see in the middle a program as a set of projects, each starting at a different moment in time. Above the program, you see architecture in four abstraction levels of details: Conceptual (CAD), Logical (LAD), Physical (PAD) and Implementational (TD), and finally Contract Documents (CD, as fifth).
In every phase of a project a different level of abstraction of architecture: first its concepts and principles in the Initiation Phase, then its elements and standards in the Definition Phase, then components and standards in the Design Phase, and technical products and standards in the Preparation Phase and Build and Implementation Phase.
In each phase or level of abstraction in the architecture different types of visualizations support and guide the process in the projects: Concept Design Sketch, Structure Vision, Architecture Vision, Principle Details Diagrams, Process Landscape, Application Landscape, Solution Landscape, Project Portfolio Map, Solution Blueprint.
