SAMU Features

SAMU is a true EA repository with a flexible meta model, which is able to generate compelling diagrams about architecture that everyone can understand in a sec.

What’s more, you can directly manage the architecture elements over the diagram. The architectural impact of transformation projects can be planned and governed together.

META-MODELING

  • Define any object types, any relationship types and any attribute types

VISUALIZATION

  • All reports are based on real-time user-defined queries
  • Easy to create any new architecture diagram or list
  • Overviews with drill-down capability
  • Advanced diagram displaying rules (global and local) – eg: all “Critical” “Applications” to appear with a red mark.
  • User-defined special reports (matrices, timelines, charts, etc. with XSLT)

EASE OF USE

  • Single web-client for all administrative and user functions
  • Intuitive GUI and architecture visualization even for non-IT people
  • Manage objects and relationships directly on the diagrams (create, modify, delete)

SECURITY

  • Permissions are bound to group memberships
  • Two-level permission management: data access rights + functional permissions
  • LDAP, DB or mixed authentication
i

DATA LOAD

  • Import objects and relationships from Excel or XML
  • Automatic data synchronization (REST, JDBC, LDAP interfaces) with the optional sync module (currently available for on-premise implementations only)
  • Dedicated object management screen for mass operations
f

MANAGEMENT

  • Full audit trail and time-machine function
  • APIs for smooth integration
  • Web-only tool with all configuration and data stored in a single DB
