Tools & Templates
Templates give you a proven structure to copy and fill in. Builders let you start from the reference architectures on this site and shape them to your organisation. Where a template and a builder produce the same thing, they link to each other.
Builders
Strategy Modeler
Build your own reference architecture and technology strategy
Start from the Integration, Data Platform or Security reference architecture and make it yours: define the people it serves and what they need to do, adjust the layers and components, and map each component to the products you use with a lifecycle status — strategic, tactical or decommission. Export the result as JSON, a Word document or a PDF.
