11.06.09 - Avolution presents at APC'09 in London
Avolution, the market leader in metrics-based analysis of architectures, today announced that on the 29th of April they keynote presented at the 22nd Open Group Architecture Practitioner's Conference in London, England.Dr Tim O'Neill from Avolution delivered a presentation titled "Case Study: Enterprise Modelling at Birmingham City Council".
Case Study: Enterprise Modelling at Birmingham City Council
Dr O'Neill presented a case study of the recent successes at Birmingham City Council (BCC) with modelling their enterprise and
in particular the benefits found by applying some of the recent improvements supported by TOGAF 9. He discussed the TOGAF-based
framework being used to not only engineer optimal solutions across the organisation but to exploit knowledge and opportunities across
various lines of business. The framework includes;
- Libraries of re-useable patterns and templates attributed with cost, performance and reliability metrics,
- Advanced techniques of Impact, Gap, Scenario and Trade-off analysis (based on TOGAF), and,
- Rationalisation indices and a metrics-based architecture method (based on ABACUS).

About Avolution
Avolution provides the ABACUS® solution which is unique to the enterprise modeling space in that in minutes it can create multiple solution
alternatives (architectures) and then run various simulations (Discrete Event, Monte Carlo etc) against each alternative for metrics such as
Performance, Cost and Availability. In so doing it can recommend the optimal path for investment, with predictive and quantitative certainty.
More information is available at www.avolution.eu.
- Build any number of solution alternatives and views, all according to a completely flexible meta-model, importing from MS Visio, MS Excel and many other formats.
- Analyse your architecture(s) for metrics such as; Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), Performance, Availability, Agility and many more.
- View the architecture(s) and the results of any evaluation using advanced techniques such as; 3D, heat maps, timelines, capability spaces and trade-off diagrams.
