[edit] ABACUS
ABACUS is a software package used for Enterprise Architecture (EA), Enterprise Modeling and Process Modeling and is recognized as supporting the most EA frameworks and being the most cost-effective and flexible EA tool on the market [1], [2]. ABACUS uniquely can create multiple solution alternatives ("architectures") and then run various simulations or calculations against each alternative for metrics such as Cost, Agility, Performance (utilising a Discrete event simulation) and Reliability (using the Monte Carlo method). In so doing it can recommend the optimal path for investment, with predictive and quantitative certainty.
ABACUS is deployed across different market sectors in over 70 countries worldwide. The current release of ABACUS is version 3.4 [3]. The name ABACUS stands for the "Architecture-Based Analysis of Complex Systems" [4]
