Nexus Enterprise Architecture
Gain central information, streamline IT processes.
Enterprise Architects and management confront numerous complexities:
-
IT processes remain unoptimized due to a lack of integration and central information.
-
There's no coherent view of the costs associated with various applications.
-
Automation of operational tasks becomes cumbersome and challenging
​
​
These issues stem from the inconsistency of information scattered across various IT tools, including project management, IT finance, ITSM, and Dev ticketing systems. Nexus comes to the rescue by seamlessly integrating with these tools, centralizing control, and ensuring that decisions made within Nexus trigger API calls to maintain data consistency.
Additionally, Nexus assigns unique IDs to IT objects like applications and data flows, facilitating their use across the entire IT toolchain.
Furthermore, the pain of inadequate information plagues IT management, leaving them in the dark about the IT landscape. Nexus steps in by acting as a centralized repository for architecture information. It grants enterprise architects a top-down view of projects, aggregates data into high-level views, standardizes information using templates and rules, and eradicates inconsistencies and outdated data.
In summary, Nexus empowers enterprise architects, CIOs, and CTOs by tackling these challenges head-on, ensuring that their IT processes are optimized, and delivering a coherent, centralized, and standardized approach to managing their IT landscape.
