 ClearConcepts™ is a highly customizable information management system that allows you to define and refine your own concepts, with their defining attributes and relations, easily adapting what you want to model to your own specific reality. It takes the role of a Configuration Management Database (CMDB) but it's much more than that - we like to think of it as 'an enterprise architecture knowledge base with powerful visualization capabilities' (but let us face it, EAKBPVC is not as catchy, and even goes to be a bit harsh on the ear). In ClearConcepts™ both concepts and information are version-enabled, so if you need to know how your IT infrastructure was organized or how you envisioned IT within the organization, in a particular moment in time, all you need to do is choose the desired time-frame and all the information will be there, readily available for you to explore. Due to the way it was built it comes with full auditing capabilities that allow you to see who did what and when. It also comes with an AJAX graphical visualizer that allows anyone, anywhere to navigate through the contained information in a clear, semantically rich and user-friendly environment. You can even custom tailor the views to better suit the needs of those who are supposed to see them (e.g. you probably don't want to show information to the upper management the same way you do to technical collaborators). This is part of the great power that lies within ClearConcepts™ - the power of expressiveness - to help you see and show the information your organization needs in ways people understand. |
