Enterprise Architecture Management (EAM) enables stability for your organization and IT infrastructure; your entire enterprise structure is visualized in one model, from your process and IT landscape, right the way through to individual computers. It takes time and knowledge to maintain your model and keep it up-to-date; not every company has the capacity to take on this role. This is why we have developed EAMplicity: a cost-effective and efficient alternative so that you can easily reap the benefits of EAM. EAMplicity is your chance to start using EAM in your company today so that you can easily utilize your company’s digital twin as a strategic resource without actually having to model yourself.

• GDPR: An EAM model can help with compliance of the General Data Protection Regulation, monitor how personal data is processed, document data protection measures and ensure data protection compliance across the entire Enterprise Architecture.
