The Bizzdesign Productivity add-ins automate modeling tasks for your models, helping you focus on value creation through a model-based approach to strategy and design within your organization.

Each add-in can be used in conjunction with other add-ins or independently.

 

The Bizzdesign Productivity add-ins require a separate license and installation to be available in your model packages. For more information, please refer to Productivity add-ins license management and Productivity add-ins installation.

To update your add-ins to a newer version, please refer to Upgrading the Productivity add-ins.

Course content

Topic outline

  • Model Governance

    Allows for automated governance of Bizzdesign Horizzon model content. This add-in lets you focus on content and impact with automated, rule-based model compliance and quality checks, approval workflow process automation, and model lifecycle management.

    The add-in works only on ArchiMate models.

  • Document coach

    Allows automated publishing of high-quality, signature-ready documents and presentations. This add-in incorporates rich styling and branding with ongoing content synchronization. Document Coach enables perfect document design and dynamic embedded analytics with fully customizable templating and reuse.

    The add-in works on ArchiMate, BPMN, UML, and ERD models.

  • Model Exchange 

    Manages models across multiple Bizzdesign Horizzon environments, including model versioning, replication, and intelligent merging. This meets the needs of the most demanding implementation scenarios involving complex user ecosystems, multiple security levels, and information boundaries. Model Exchange includes Push, Pull, and Snapshot functions.

    The Push and Pull functions work on ArchiMate and BPMN models and cross-model relations between them. The Snapshot function supports all types of models.

  • Guide to installation

    In this video, we will shortly demonstrate how to integrate the productivity add-ins into your model package in Enterprise Studio. This is particularly interesting for repository stewards.
