Migration to Enterprise Architect UML 2.0

Benefits of Full-lifecycle UML

UML as a team collaboration medium saves effort and costs. It enables effective reuse between development teams. It also reduces the cost of communication: detailed yet understandable specifications can be produced with minimal overhead. However, IT teams and departments can only see those benefits as they reach some critical mass of UML usage. Multiple teams and various roles within the teams should be trained in understanding of UML and using the same UML Modelling software.

Sparx Systems' Enterprise Architect is an ideal tool for an enterprise-wide full-lifecycle deployment due to its low cost and extended range of features. However, some potential users may find it difficult to migrate to EA from existing pilot implementations

Pilot Implementation Legacy

Some early adopters of UML Modelling already committed to alternative UML modelling tools and spent significant funds of software licences and product-oriented training. In many cases those pilot deployment delivered invaluable experience. However, the scale of deployment and long learning curve may prevent early those adopters from gaining tangible benefits of UML modelling. At the same time the cost of tools, training and consulting makes further investments into UML modelling unrealistic without showing tangible performance improvement.
