Enterprise Architects should not be maintaining diagram repositories. Archiet turns ArchiMate blueprints into compliance reports, Jira epics, and drift-detected codebases — automatically.
Sparx EA, LeanIX, Ardoq, Bizzdesign — all produce diagrams. None of them do anything with them. The ArchiMate model is not the deliverable. The intelligence is.
Architecture diagrams are produced for the review. Once the review is done, the repository goes stale. The effort invested in modelling has zero leverage on delivery, compliance, or governance.
Audits arrive. Someone extracts controls from diagrams, maps them to framework requirements, and writes a report by hand. If the diagram drifted from reality months ago, the evidence is wrong before it is submitted.
The ARB approves. The minutes are written. The email is sent. Three weeks later, a developer asks why the design looks nothing like the blueprint. The answer is always the same: the decision never made it to Jira.
Not another diagramming tool. An architecture intelligence platform that connects your blueprints to compliance, governance, and delivery.
One blueprint per system. Portfolio view scores all systems together. See which systems are non-compliant, high-risk, or architecturally unsound at a glance. The CTO dashboard you have always needed but never had a tool for.
SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, DORA, NIS2. Control-level gap analysis for each system. PDF-exportable reports ready for auditors and the board. No manual assembly.
Approve or reject architecture decisions in Archiet. Comments, decisions, and reviewers logged for audit. Architecture governance without email chains, shared drives, or meeting minutes that nobody files.
One click sends any blueprint to Jira as structured Epics and stories. Confluence docs stay in sync. GitHub drift detection runs on every PR — alerts when code violates architectural constraints.
A direct comparison on the dimensions that matter to enterprise architecture teams.

Five steps from description to drift-detected production codebase.
Describe or import
Describe a system in plain English or import from GitHub. Archiet generates a scored ArchiMate 3.2 blueprint — layered elements, relationships, soundness gaps — in minutes.
Run compliance checks
Run compliance checks across SOC 2, ISO 27001, GDPR, DORA, NIS2 — control-level gap analysis per system, exportable as a PDF report ready for auditors.
Submit to ARB
Reviewers approve or reject with comments. Decisions are logged for audit. Governance happens in the tool, not across scattered email threads.
Push to Jira and Confluence
Architecture decisions reach the delivery team in one click. Jira Epics and stories appear in 30 seconds. Confluence pages update automatically when the blueprint changes.
Generate production code
One-click code generation produces a production-ready codebase from the blueprint. GitHub drift detection activates immediately — every PR is checked against architectural constraints.
Portfolio view across all your systems. Architecture score trends. Compliance posture by system. Risk flags. The CTO dashboard you have always needed but never had a tool for.
If your organisation already runs Avolution Abacus, you do not start from scratch in Archiet. Connect your Minerva instance and every ApplicationComponent — name, lifecycle status, criticality, business owner, domain — becomes a live ArchiMate element ready for compliance checks, Jira stories, and drift detection.
Connect Minerva
Enter your instance URL and OAuth2 credentials in Settings → Integrations
Import portfolio
One click. Archiet fetches all ApplicationComponents via the OData API — properties and relationships included
