- Enterprise Architecture Diagram. Enterprise architecture models analyze and document an organization, the capabilities it has, the processes it uses, the applications and systems that are support those capabilities and processes, and the underlying physical architecture.
- Process Map. This is a graphical view of your business architecture and helps identify business functions and high-level processes.
- Requirements List. Requirements documents display a hierarchical list of written requirements.
SAP EA Designer content can be consumed via the following methods:
- Browsing diagrams and model objects online
- Exporting diagrams as SVG images or printing them
- Generating reports on diagrams or model objects
- Running an impact analysis
- Posting comments on diagrams and model objects
