Earlier this month we released v6.20 of Essential Cloud/Docker which consolidated some functionality made available in our monthly releases and included some new and exciting features.
Now available in the Essential Cloud/Docker platform:
Drag and Drop Data Capture
Modelling made easy!
These first iterations allow users to assign applications to a disposition lifecycle and map to business capabilities.
See how in the video below:
Because we don’t oversimplify organisations and, as a result, allow much more informed business decision making, Essential maps applications to business capabilities via organisation and process.
Find out why here – Applications to Business Capabilities – Why Essential models via Process
BPMN Modelling
Use Essential to draw your business process models in accordance with BPMN notation. The modeller uses the artefacts in Essential, and those created in the modeller are also stored in the repository for future use.
See how in the video below:
Sketch
Draw diagrams attached to any instance of any class in the repository – Applications, Technology Products, Projects, Plans – anything!

HERM in Essential
The HERM (Higher Education Reference Models) are now freely available in both the commercial and the free, open-source versions of the Essential EA Management Tool, following our collaboration with the global HERM community.
See how they look in video below:
The models are curated by CAUDIT in close collaboration with UCISA, EUNIS, and EDUCAUSE, and are being used by more than 1,000 higher-education institutions across the globe to provide standardised business, application, and data architectures that communicate a generalised view of how higher education institutions are organised and the information they use.
Essential, coupled with HERM, can provide the foundations of success for the EA Team.
