The ArchiMate® Specification, a Standard of The Open Group Standard, is an open and independent modeling language for Enterprise Architecture that is supported by different tool vendors and consulting firms.

The ArchiMate® visual modeling notation leverages your Enterprise Architecture practice and helps you describe and understand complex systems.

The ArchiMate® Specification provides instruments to enable Enterprise Architects to describe, analyze, and visualize the relationships among business domains in an unambiguous way.

Benefits of ArchiMate® 
Just as an architectural drawing in classical building architecture describes the various aspects of the construction and use of a building, the ArchiMate Specification defines a common language for describing the purpose, construction and operation of the organization depicting the strategy and motivation aspects and also business processes, organizational structures, information flows, IT systems, and technical and physical  infrastructure. This insight helps stakeholders to design, assess, and communicate the consequences of decisions and changes within and between these business domains.
