RantCan - looks interesting although I dont think it will do the host interrogation I am after (true?) but what concerns me more is the potential price tag. Any idea re the Consultant edition and how the Enterprise version pricing works?

I am using a mix of Archimate and Visio, neither of which are satisfactory. I want to be find an app that is a cross between these and AutoCAD (for layers) and PowerPoint (for animation/visualisation). A use case might be - there are 9 integrations between System A and System B which at a high level is shown as one line, click on the line and it breaks out into the 9 showing direction of data exchange with &nbsp;details about what those integrations are etc. So rather like an AutoCAD drawing for a building I could see different layers and level of detail etc. TIA.

Enterprise Architecture Visualisation Tools

Computer-aided design (CAD) is the use of computer systems to aid in the creation, modification, analysis, or optimization of a design. CAD output is often in the form of electronic files for print, machining, or other manufacturing operations. CAD software for mechanical design uses either vector-based graphics to depict the objects of traditional drafting, or may also produce raster graphics showing the overall appearance of designed objects. As in the manual drafting of technical and engineering drawings, the output of CAD must convey information, such as materials, processes, dimensions, and tolerances, according to application-specific conventions.

CAD/Architecture Software

Enterprise software, also known as enterprise application software (EAS), is computer software used to satisfy the needs of an organization, including businesses, schools, interest-based user groups, clubs, charities, or governments. Services provided by enterprise software are typically business-oriented tools such as online shopping and online payment processing, interactive product catalogue, automated billing systems, security, enterprise content management, IT service management, customer relationship management (CRM), enterprise resource planning (ERP), business intelligence (BI), project management, human resource management (HR), manufacturing and supply chain management, enterprise application integration (EAI), and enterprise forms automation. Enterprise software is often available as a suite of customizable programs that require specialist capabilities.

Enterprise Software

A modeling language is any artificial language that can be used to express information or knowledge or systems in a structure that is defined by a consistent set of rules. The rules are used for interpretation of the meaning of components in the structure; modeling languages can be either graphical or textual. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a general-purpose, developmental, modeling language in the field of software engineering, that is intended to provide a standard way to visualize the design of a system.
