1. Digital Workplace

When you log in on the platform, you enter your digital workplace. Here, you can see who your colleagues and team members are. You can connect with them easily and, above all, create and share content.

The digital workplace offers an overview of tasks, calendars, events, tools (applications), and services.

We offer four overlays with which you can compose, shape, and color your personalized workplace. You can choose from various items for Learn, Create, Share, and Control.

2. Business Diagramming

What do you do on Dragon1? Most people will create and share business diagrams to manage and control strategy, architecture, projects, or another management area.

The tools enable you to do any business diagramming you want or like. There are over 250 types of Diagrams as examples available to you. Check the page with example business diagrams to generate and create on the platform.

The business diagrams you create can be exported in .dragon1 files and viewed offline with the dragon1.exe viewer, just like Adobe Acrobat pdf files.

3. Enterprise Architecture

Dragon1 started as an EA Modeling tool using TOGAF, Dragon1, and ArchiMate as methods, frameworks, and languages to work with. And it is still a perfect choice for EA. Dragon1 is the first cloud-based EA Tool ever suited for LMEs.

You can design any architecture, visualize for any stakeholder supporting decision making, and create 2d and 3d building blocks and user-defined symbols for any architecture in an organization and publish them for reuse by others.

4. Business Process Modeling

Dragon1 supports BPM Modeling to the max with BPMN and EPC (Event Process Chain). You can make the standard diagrams more communicable by adding some Dragon1 architecture visualization aspects.

5. Content Creation and EA Repository

On Dragon1, you can create content, publish, and share it yourself or in a group/team. You can create text documents with pictures and export them to MS Word, and you can present documents and export them to PowerPoint.

There are over 250 default entity classes, like product, service, process, application, computer, etc., you can administer information in an EA Repository.

If you create models, views, and visualizations with information about the stored entities, you can insert the models, views, and visualizations in your text document and presentation documents.

6. Data Visualization & Sharing

Not only application models and process models can be generated and created beautifully. You can also create nice-looking and strategically essential visuals of any other model or content.

You can create clickable maps of any information with a popup dialog showing more detailed information about a selected item.

7. Business Analytics, Dashboard and Performance

Dragon1 enables you as a user to create and generate any report you like on any kind of data you like. If you want to create a data visualization or graph based on imported data, you can do so. If you want to enter manual data and use it to compare the data for certain aspects, you can do so.

On Dragon1, it is possible to set up and publish your management dashboards and visualize and monitor the enterprise performance.

8. Creating and Managing Catalogs

On the platform, you can enter a software application, a business process, or a list of applications and processes. However, you can also create and manage catalogs of applications and processes to publish that information and establish more reuse. That requires a lot of information to be stored. But here, the catalog application comes into play.

The catalog application enables a large group of people to collaborate on filling or stimulating to fill up the information for the catalog. If a manager notices that a costly application is hardly used and hardly any information is known about it, how will employees start to use it, or will managers start to reuse it?

Example catalogs created by users are: Incidents & Problems List, Products and Service Catalog, FAQ, and Software Application Guide.

9. Enterprise Search & Viewer

When Dragon1 contains a lot of process and application information and more about your organization, looking up the data can become hard. Dragon1 Enterprise Search lets you quickly find any data in the software tool based on tags, categories, names, and description search. Just like you are used in Google.

Only if you have published content on the Dragon1 platform to be found by others (inside or outside your company) can it be found by them compliant with your publishing rules.

The Viewer tool can be used by people to view publicly published (static and interactive) content without logging in. Content can also be published privileged and private, which means you still have to log in.

10. Business Portal and Knowledge Sharing

The tool (application) for sharing management information is called Resource Center. That is, in fact, a wiki-like mini-website. This Resource Center you can use to put knowledge (of people, about, or in the organization) and background information on how you would like people to use when working on Dragon1.

If the collaboration platform, for instance, is used as the EA Modeling tool, then the Resource Center could contain information and downloads on Mission, Vision, Strategy, Projects, etc. You can also use the Resource Center as your intranet, extranet, company wiki, or your employees' business application portal, such as the Dragon1 catalogs you have defined per business function.

11. Record and Store Audio

In Dragon1, you can record an audio message, save it, share it with other users, and publish it on your Dragon1 page or profile. You can also administer and store audio files from external URL resources in your Dragon1 cabinets.

In this way, you can create your own music or sound database. You can link sounds to play to a mouse action on the visualizations you generate and create. You can model, for instance, an interactive zoo-logical overview of the place you live in.

12. Video Conference and Storage

As a user, you can record a video message, save it, share it with other users, and publish it on your Dragon1 page, profile, or ePortfolio. You can also administer and store video files from external URL resources (like YouTube) in your Dragon1 cabinets.

In this way, you can create your own music video or tutorial database. You can link videos to popups and play a mouse action on the visualizations you generate and create. You can create, for instance, an interactive overview of a marketplace and have every participant introduce themselves via video.

13. ePortfolio, Dragon1 Page and User Profiles

Every user has a Dragon1 page (www.dragon1.com/user/[username] and a profile page, which they can edit and fill with information just like a Facebook page or LinkedIn page. You can decide what you want to administer and share data with others.

Organizations have an organization page (www.dragon1.com/organization/[organization].

If you want to promote your services or bring your working experience under attention, you can create an ePortfolio and have it found by Google.

14. Messaging, Chatting and Tweeting

Just like in Twitter you can chat away on Dragon1. Every user has an email address and can be reached with your personal and private chat messages, but you can also send invitations and notifications to email addresses outside of Dragon1. Dragon1 Messages work with hashtags like you are used to.

You can chat with groups and comment on chats. So, after you have created your content, you might want to make it known to others by sending a message. If users ask questions, you can answer them and/or comment on them and share your content links.

15. eLearning

One of the very unique content types is the eLearning Module. With that, you can publish your content as eLearning courseware. Users who have access to the eLearning Module can play their eLearning course. Dragon1 records the user's behavior for later analysis by the Cours Provider.

16. Dragon1 Mobile Smartphone Business App

Users can work with Dragon1 on iPad, Laptop, and PC, but also with the Dragon1 Business App.
