Corporate IT architecture modeling system arKhon
A single source of truth for business processes, information systems, and infrastructure.
Full connectivity, automation, and integrations — transparent control of the enterprise IT landscape.
Has your IT architecture slipped out of control?
With rapid growth and complex business processes, managing the IT landscape in large organizations becomes a serious challenge. The lack of a single approach leads to chaos and loss.
Information about systems is scattered
- •There is no single source of truth about the IT landscape
- •Excel, PDF, Visio, personal notes, and tacit knowledge of IT architects
Hard to manage
- •Hundreds of employees and many projects
- •Hard to check that standards are followed
- •Architectural decisions take a long time to find
High cost and risk
- •High cost of designing, controlling, and describing architecture
- •Risk from outdated or incomplete information
No clarity
- •How are systems connected to each other and to business processes?
- •The same solutions get designed again
A centralized system for modeling the IT landscape
arKhon is not just a tool. It is a way to manage your IT architecture. The system creates a single, structured, and continuously updated description of every component.
A single source of truth
arKhon aggregates and organizes information about your IT environment and removes the scatter.
