Living EAM Platform by Softplant GmbH

Release 1.2 of Living EAM Platform available

We are happy to announce release 1.2 of our Living EAM Platform. The new version not only includes several new features but also a number of improvements as well as some small bug-fixes.

The new features are:

  • Document Management: Attach relevant, supplementary documents to all architecture elements. In an additional tab within the architecture elements these documents are listed and available for download. Together with the ability to store links to additional information, you now have several possiblities to enrich the information of the enterprise architecture with additional sources of information.
  • Duplicating architecture elements: Now you can duplicate existing architecture elements in a simple manner with all their information and dependencies.
  • Information Flow visualisation: With the new visualisation type “information flow” you get an overview of directional dependencies in your enterprise architecture. For example, the use of an information object can be displayed graphically and interactively within the application landscape.
  • Nagios data adapter: Similar to SNMP, we provide a new data adapter for Nagios, which allows you to gather current infrastructure information about individual IT devices in an automated manner.
  • Editing annotation properties: Annotation properties are used within the Living EAM platform to add additional metadata to architecture elements via annotations. In addition to the predefined annotation properties, you now have the ability to define and edit your own annotation properties.
  • History of model changes: You are already able to customise the architecture model of the Living EAm Platform in a simple manner. The additional history of model changes now allows you to trace changes and compare different versions.

The improvements include:

  • Modified visualisation module: All existing visualization types have been unified to make the configuration of the presentation more clear and easy.
  • New user profile page: By clicking on the avatar or the username you now find a profile page of the user, which is logged in the platform.
  • Improved application icons: The set of symbols of the whole application has been reworked. All icons are revised and adapted to a unified concept.
  • Improved performance: At various points the response time of the application has been improved.
  • Updated Installation guide: The installation guide for the Living EAM Platform has been reworked to better support the installation of the Living EAM Platform.
