ArchiLU Reviews & Product Details

ArchiLU is enterprise architecture software for documenting an organization together and connecting decisions to the business capabilities, processes, applications and technologies they affect. It brings knowledge scattered across spreadsheets, CMDBs, diagrams and wikis into a shared architecture repository, with named owners, role-based views and a history of changes. Business and IT teams work on the same connected model. Executives follow decisions and their outcomes; enterprise architects develop capability maps and transformation roadmaps; CIOs review application portfolios; application owners maintain their records; and risk, compliance and audit teams examine dependencies and decision evidence within their permissions. The platform covers six connected areas: • Business architecture and repository management: link strategy, value streams, capabilities, processes, activities, roles, applications, data, technology and suppliers. Document current and target states, model processes with role-based swimlanes, and assign responsibility for keeping records current. • Demand and architecture governance: connect requests to affected assets, prepare Architecture Definition Documents (ADDs), record questions and decisions, and submit proposals to an architecture board. Versioned documents and decision logs preserve who decided what and why. • Application portfolio management: review lifecycle, technology support, contracts and dependencies; use TIME classification to guide investment, migration and retirement; and distinguish estimated savings from observed savings and missing cost data. • ICT risk and DORA-related documentation: trace critical or important functions through applications, ICT providers and contracts, assess exposure, and give auditors read-only access bounded by their mission. These capabilities support ongoing regulatory documentation and audit preparation. • Process and capability costs: calculate process costs from activities, frequencies, role participation and hourly rates, alongside dated IT costs by application and capability. Missing inputs remain visible instead of being treated as zero. • Governed AI collaboration: connect compatible assistants through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). Assistants operate with the user's permissions; proposals, approvals and changes remain attributable, and administrators can restrict AI access by person, role or domain. Teams can import spreadsheets, read application information through a ServiceNow CMDB connector, and export architecture models and Word or PDF documents. Guided workflows, contextual help and role-specific worklists support collaborative documentation across the organization. ArchiLU offers Business Architecture, APM & Risk, Enterprise Architecture, and EA + ABC/CBC subscriptions. Annual subscriptions are per organization with unlimited users, a dedicated instance hosted in the European Union and a one-month free trial. On-premises deployment is available as a separate service. The software supports French, English and German. Developed in Luxembourg, ArchiLU serves banking, insurance, public-sector, industrial and service organizations seeking a maintained architecture repository, accountable decisions and a shared basis for transformation.
