Document management

A Holistic, Document-Centric Approach

Effective business architecture relies on comprehensive, well-organized documentation. In many organizations, however, business architecture documentation resembles Swiss cheese—full of holes, with only cursory detail in certain areas where business architects have focused, and little to no information in others. This often happens because these organizations lack a self-service, document-centric approach, leading to fragmented perspectives that fail to provide a full picture of the business.

Orthogramic changes this dynamic by guiding organizations towards a holistic business perspective. It achieves this by implementing a document-centric approach that enables all users, not just business architects, to contribute to the business architecture framework. By offering structured processes and built-in assistance, Orthogramic ensures that all areas of the business are covered, eliminating the gaps typically found in conventional documentation practices.

Orthogramic doesn't simply provide a framework; it actively assists users at every step, from document creation and upload to ongoing review and refinement. This guidance is key to success, as it ensures that documents are more than just static records—they are living components of a continuously evolving business architecture.

With Orthogramic’s Document Upload, Document Summary, Document Details, and Document Repository, every document becomes part of a cohesive system, driving deeper insights and better decision-making. This document-centric approach ensures that each piece of information is synthesized into a holistic view of the business, rather than existing in isolation.

In contrast to typical frameworks that offer little support, Orthogramic provides the tools, structure, and guidance necessary to maintain a complete and accurate business architecture. This ensures that organizations can confidently align their strategic and operational goals, with full visibility across all domains.
