How to Create an Enterprise Architecture Diagram in ConceptDraw PRO

An Enterprise Architecture (EA) diagram is used to display the structure and operations of an organization.It is used to analyze and document an organization and its business functions, along with the applications and systems on which they are implemented. The aim of an enterprise architecture diagram is to determine how an organization can effectively achieve its current and future objectives. The Enterprise Architecture often uses diagrams to support the decision-making process. ConceptDraw PRO allows you to design Enterprise Architecture diagrams of any complexity.

Use the IDEF Business Process Diagrams solution to create effective database designs and object-oriented designs, following the integration definition methodology.
This IDEF0 diagram example was redesigned from the Wikimedia Commons file: C4ISR Architecture Framework, Example Activity Diagram in IDEF0 Format.jpg. [commons.wikimedia.org/ wiki/ File:C4ISR_ Architecture_ Framework,_ Example_ Activity_ Diagram_ in_ IDEF0_ Format.jpg]
"... the C4ISR concept of Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance ..." [en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ C4ISR]
"The C4ISR Architectural Framework (C4ISR AF) is now known as DoDAF, is a reference model developed by the US Department of Defense in the 1990s." [commons.wikimedia.org/ wiki/ Category:C4ISR_ Architecture_ Framework]
"The Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF) is an architecture framework for the United States Department of Defense (DoD) that provides visualization infrastructure for specific stakeholders concerns through viewpoints organized by various views. These views are artifacts for visualizing, understanding, and assimilating the broad scope and complexities of an architecture description through tabular, structural, behavioral, ontological, pictorial, temporal, graphical, probabilistic, or alternative conceptual means.
This Architecture Framework is especially suited to large systems with complex integration and interoperability challenges, and it is apparently unique in its employment of "operational views". These views offer overview and details aimed to specific stakeholders within their domain and in interaction with other domains in which the system will operate." [en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/ Department_ of_ Defense_ Architecture_ Framework]
The example "C4ISR architecture framework - IDEF0 activity diagram" was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the solution "IDEF Business Process Diagrams" from the area "Business Processes" of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
