Future Tech Systems Envision VIP vs Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect comparison

Envision VIP is an agile, highly configurable enterprise modeling and knowledge integration environment. Easily customizable stakeholder views support secure collaborative access and analysis of all vital enterprise information. Strategic plans, business capabilities, services, processes, rules, risks, and literally any other desired enterprise resources, tangible or intangible, are securely managed as "Intuitive Business Objects". The key to Envision VIP´s power is its uniquely flexible business-object-oriented (BOO) repository combined with its intuitive user interface. Users can easily create standard or uniquely customized models, classes, and attributes. Dynamic links between these business objects – in the form of user-friendly graphical views, documents, text, pictures, sound, and video – are all easily supported. Additionally, users can apply filters and rules to manage and analyze these objects using various techniques. These tecniqies include spreadsheet-like Matrix Analysis, powerful report writing tools, and custom SQL query capabilities. Users can export models and other information maintained in Envision’s repository to other productivity applications, presentation packages, spreadsheets, and databases.

Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect is an enterprise solution that helps streamline, accelerate, and integrate software, system, and business development. With this intuitive modeling and design solution, enterprises can stay in control of their workplaces, enable collaboration, support their teams and colleagues, and manage complex projects. Software architects, business analysts, project managers, developers, support staff, and testers can unite under a single repository. Through numerous view points and potential sub-systems, users are offered a unified view in a complex environment.

With Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect, users are also offered a shared model option which can be accessed quickly and securely by in-office and remote team members through the Enterprise Architect’s Pro Cloud Server. Building a coherent, verifiable model can be done by connecting and integrating a variety of behavioral and structural information in visual form. As a result, Enterprise Architect offers high performance, flexibility, and the ability to model, manage, and trace every stage of the business development and modeling process.
