I like how it leverages Microsoft’s suite of tools.

I like using Orbus Software for business architecture because it helps us visualize our estate effectively. The capability landscape views and the relationships between objects are really helpful. The relationships feature makes complicated things simpler to understand and allows us to relay this information clearly to business SMEs. The landscape view provides a simple and clear perspective for high-level stakeholders. Additionally, I found the initial setup of Orbus Software to be very easy.

OrbusInfinity enables our organization not only to view an inventory of the applications and technologies in our environment, but also to understand which business capabilities they support and how changes may impact the business. It helps elevate our information into a true business asset. Its integration with the Microsoft suite of tools gives us a consistent interface on a high-performing platform. By using Orbus as a “source of truth,” while still leveraging familiar interfaces for senior management and individual contributors, we’ve been able to cut down on duplication and depend on fewer overlapping tools. This helps reduce our total cost of ownership and, in turn, improves our ROI. With any tool of this type, the value is in the quality of the data you enter. There have only been a couple of times where we have used support but those instances have been prompt in the responses. The knowledge base is well written to allow for 'self-service'. As an Enterprise Architect, I would recommend this tool for any company looking at a Strategic Portfolio Management tool.
