Adaptive
Enterprise Architecture Complexities Simplified

Today, with enterprises churning out data at an exponential rate, it is essential for organizations to possess the necessary tools for their secure storage and management. With evolving technologies, the cost of storage solutions has decreased but in parallel, organizations’ need to retain data has also increased. There is a need to establish retention policies on various types of data in order to manage the cost of storage and to enable retrieval of important information. Well positioned to tackle this situation is Adaptive, which provides a range of solutions, geared towards countering management challenges such as data governance, metadata management, Enterprise Architecture Management among others.

The firm provides a common framework adopting it’s idiosyncratic functional capabilities including workflow, role based security, versioning to enable clients to tackle their IT problems. “Our solutions capture data silos into our web-based robust platform, which allows stakeholders to manage their enterprise architectures in the most optimal manner,” states Jeff Goins, President and CEO, Adaptive.

Adaptive solutions provide “Intelligent Search” capabilities that allow organizations to bring back search results into their Microsoft Office centric applications— including their email systems. This facilitates collaboration, reuse, and the ability to drill-down into relevant data sources. Besides, it also leverages Big Data sources which provides a comprehensive capability in analytics that can be used to understand “as-is” and “to-be” architectures. “We support configurable workflow processes, access control, collaboration and advanced analytics,” states Goins.

Adaptive is an active and influential contributor to the standards community and works closely with the Object Management Group (OMG) providing the underlying metamodels based on industry best practices. “Our Enterprise Architecture (EA) Manager product provides key underlying standards in the areas of strategy, process, application, and technology architectures,” says Goins.

It is essential for organizations to have a complete understanding of the storage of critical data, transform, analyze and report them

Adaptive’s robust, web based EA Manager Suite promotes interoperability with different technologies. The firm’s Adaptive Enterprise Architecture Manager is a web-based solution offering for organizing, integrating, and analyzing information about the key architecture elements of an enterprise. Adaptive EAM captures and monitors the full scope of enterprise architecture initiatives, enabling performance monitoring, and enterprise governance.

The firm also offers the Adaptive Metadata Manager application that enhances capabilities in the areas of data governance, regulatory compliance, and metadata management. Capturing data definitions and lineage from data modeling tools, relational databases XML Schemas, languages, Extract Transformation and, Load (ETL), Business Intelligence (BI), Big Data frameworks and other sources, Adaptive’s Metadata Manager helps data stewards and business owners govern the enormous amounts of information that organizations are inundated with on a daily basis.

“We bring in various sources of data and sketch the relationships between different sources of data to provide end to end data lineage analytics,” asserts Goins. Another distinguishing factor of the company is that all of its solutions complement each other and do not require costly migrations or application re-installs.

Adaptive provides a comprehensive managed services offering to enable the implementation and support services associated with the mentoring, training and implementation of our suite of products.

Adaptive has gone on to become one of the leaders in the market—enabling organizations to capture, organize and manage their information models, metadata among others into its multi-dimensional, intelligent, web based platform. In the days to come, the company will continue to scale further up and focus on enhancing their data governance and enterprise architecture solutions.
