iGrafx Solutions

Enterprise Architecture

Enterprise Architecture is a framework that helps organizations manage and align four domains with the overall strategy: business processes, information, systems and technology. iGrafx® Enterprise Central™ is a strategic modeling tool organisations can use to develop models to identify, understand and minimise risk, improving your ability to plan business and technology investments, by creating a model of the entire organisation, and capturing dependencies between processes, resources and systems.

IT Governance

iGrafx offers a complete IT Service Management solution that moves beyond text and data and enables complete visualisation of how IT operates today and how it should operate in the future to meet its service objectives. By visualising critical IT processes, organizations can readily see the relationship of IT and business to create awareness of their mutual dependence and identify potential problem areas for rapid resolution.

BPM

iGrafx is a set of solutions for Business Process Analysis (BPA) and modeling that enables companies to develop and maintain their process knowledge and information separately from the execution environment. By maintaining processes independent of the execution environment, organizations can take a top-down approach to business that enables companies to become more agile and drive IT related development and change from the business analyst's perspective.

Six Sigma

iGrafx Process for Six Sigma provides a visual framework for connecting the data that drives performance of their respective processes. Through this framework, the origins of hidden factories, bottlenecks, and other drivers of time, cost and rework are rapidly exposed, enabling "quick hit" improvements. Later, high-value opportunities are more easily assessed and prioritised for action by team members.
