Ardoq for State Agencies is a federated Enterprise Architecture model that gives states a clear, consistent view of applications across all agencies while allowing each agency to work independently.
Ardoq provides a standardized AppRat reporting format that agencies use to share application information. The state receives a unified statewide application inventory that highlights duplication, cost drivers, and risks.
No. Agencies maintain autonomy. Agencies only agree on a small set of standardized AppRat fields used for statewide reporting.
Agencies share only the standardized application fields required for statewide reporting, such as application name, owner, cost, business fit, technical fit, and lifecycle status.
No. Ardoq supports federated EA, meaning agencies keep their systems, ownership, and processes.
Spreadsheets and other APM tools do not provide:
- Statewide visibility
- Comparable application data
- Consistent reporting across agencies
- Redundancy identification
Ardoq creates one clear, consistent statewide application landscape.
States gain visibility into redundant applications, cost drivers, lifecycle risk, and reporting gaps. This enables better budgeting and oversight. Agencies get easier reporting, clearer application ownership, reduced spreadsheet work, and the ability to participate in statewide initiatives without losing autonomy.
