Overview
Organizations are inherently complex, which makes the task of turning a strategy into a successful reality difficult; for an effective strategy, the interdependent mix of people, functions, business processes, IT applications, data, infrastructure, suppliers, and customers scattered across multiple locations, needs to be understood, as the task of changing a complex landscape is challenging.

Key Features
EA Backbone:
Covering the backbone of an enterprise architecture, from business, application, data and technology to strategy, supplier management and ideas, the editors allow the data maintenance burden to be shared.
Graphical Data Capture:
Sometimes you need to capture not just the relationships but the specific sequence of those relationships – for example, a business process flow. Essential supports graphical modelling where it’s needed most.
Rich Meta-model:
Recognised as a framework in its own right by The Open Group, Essential has the most semantically rich meta-model of any currently available EA tool. This means more accurate modelling which allows for richer more sophisticated reporting providing enhanced decision support capabilities. Ontology based, it is like modelling the real world and so easy to pick up and understand.
Forms Based Data Capture:
Essential’s form-based data capture tool is the easiest way to get your team capturing data quickly and easily. We believe forms are the most effective solution when it comes to capturing data that isn’t already held in spreadsheets or other systems
Free EA Models:
Our predefined enterprise architecture reference models allow you to accelerate your Essential EA initiative by giving you a starting template. Simply download the data update file and import it into your Essential EA tool, then edit the model in Essential to meet your exact needs.
