5 Reasons Enterprise Architects Need a Purpose-Built Platform

September 24, 2025

A pocket calculator is fine for quick math, but you wouldn’t use it to model your company’s financial future. The same is true for ITSM enterprise architecture modules. For strategic enterprise architecture, you need a purpose-built EA platform that scales.

Why ITSM tools aren’t enough

Explore the top five reasons why ITSM tools alone aren’t enough, and how an enterprise architecture platform empowers government agencies with:

  1. Enterprise-wide alignment: Break down silos and tie IT investments to mission outcomes for greater transparency and accountability.
  2. Strategic focus: Go beyond workflows to align activities with mandates like Zero Trust and cloud migration.
  3. Clear direction: Visualize your current state, future goals, and the path to get there with advanced modeling, capability planning, and scenario simulation.
  4. Scalable solutions: Start fast with out-of-the-box templates and scale seamlessly to support broader use cases like capital planning and cybersecurity.
  5. Integrated success: Complement ITSM tools with bi-directional integrations for synchronized portfolios and faster, data-driven decisions.
