ArchiMate is The Open Group \u2018s open and independent modelling language for enterprise architecture, supported by different tool vendors and consulting firms. ArchiMate provides instruments to support enterprise architects in describing, analyzing and visualizing the relationships among different architecture domains in an unambiguous way, similar to those well-established disciplines like civil engineering or building and construction using internationally accepted standards for describing their designs.<\/p>\n
ArchiMate is a modelling technique (\u201clanguage\u201d) for describing enterprise architectures. It presents a clear set of concepts within and relationships between architecture domains, and offers a simple and uniform structure for describing the contents of these domains. Just like an architectural drawing in classical building architecture describes the various aspects of the construction and use of a building,<\/p>\n
ArchiMate offers a common language for describing the construction and operation of:<\/p>\n
This insight helps stakeholders to design, assess, and communicate the consequences of decisions and changes within and between these business domains.<\/p>\n

Models have played an important role in business for a long time. Process models, information- and data models, application landscapes, strategic models, operational models. Organizations try to connect their models, to gain insight in the way the enterprise works from many different perspectives. Typically, models become more high-level, focusing on the essence of the organization. These developments have led to the development of the ArchiMate language, which allows high-level modeling within a domain, but allows modeling the relations between domains.<\/p>\n
As shown the Figure above, the main reasons for enterprise architect to adopt ArchiMate are as follows:<\/p>\n
