Introduction

Arvane is an Enterprise Architecture and Application Portfolio Management (EA/APM) platform. It connects your application portfolio, business capabilities, enterprise landscape, technology inventory, and governance process into a single model, so a change to one of them shows its impact on the others.

What you can do with Arvane

• Maintain a searchable application portfolio with status, criticality, TIME classification, and OPEX.
• Map applications to business capabilities across an L1–L3 hierarchy and see maturity gaps on a capability heat map.
• Model your enterprise landscape — current and future state — with zone-grouped deployment topology, blast-radius analysis, and ArchiMate import/export.
• Run architecture governance: review boards, attestations, data quality rules, and an architecture-gated change-and-release control plane.
• Pre-check onboarding readiness before submitting a request, then track security assessments and recertification on every application record.
• Track roadmaps and scenarios, comparing baseline vs. alternative transformation plans with impact analysis.
• Manage solution architecture artifacts — HLDs, ADRs, C4 views, and reference architecture patterns.
• Maintain a technology portfolio with lifecycle status, standards, technical debt, and vendor/contract tracking.
• Trace strategy and OKRs down to the applications and capabilities that deliver them, and back up again on an executive value dashboard.
• Run a built-in AI Assistant, tool-calling AI agents, and a live documentation generator over your own repository data.
• Reach every category through a GraphQL API and MCP resources, for your own AI tools and integrations.
