Blast From The Past... ArchiMate To Explain SAP - LinkedIn
November 5, 2020
This was done by not using layers and not separating the
components. We used the more familiar nesting without
any relations or specialized drawing tools. This resulted in
the following embarrassment.

Later we
explored
support in
drawing tools.
Besides some
die-hard Visio
folks, the
"converts" decided to use Archi (archimatetool) for all
future ArchiMate modelling. There was little that could
compete with a specialized free tool; allowing for context of
each component, meta-data, views with displayed / hidden
components and export for reporting / documentation. A
modelling solution that understands the standard and
relationships is hard to beat, compared to any "free-form"
generic software.

Use #archimate to creatively explain and express yourself. In the meantime, I have
left the SAP world and have welcomed Microsoft Dynamics as a platform of our
UMAX utility solution. And who knows, that might be something for another article
#weareitineris ;) .

Hi Wim, I already saw today your Archimate pictures really thanks. How
would you model it from strategic point of view. For a CIO point of view,
this picture is more tactical and the most responsible IT persons would see
the transformation from ECC to S/4. Kind regards Erkan
