Scale with Confidence: Architecture That Grows With You

As your organization expands, so does the complexity of your IT landscape. Managing this growth securely, efficiently, and with complete transparency is a foundational challenge. Our Q2 release brings significant enhancements to ensure you can build and evolve your architecture with confidence, eliminating chaos as you scale.

 

 

Confidently Scale Access as Your Architecture Grows

Access Control

Gaining precise control over who accesses your valuable architectural data can feel like navigating a maze, especially with fragmented settings and a lack of transparency. But managing your enterprise's digital blueprint shouldn't be a security headache. That’s why we’ve redesigned our Access Control module. We’ve consolidated everything into one intuitive space, making it simple to oversee and navigate your entire permissions landscape. 

You can now drill into any user’s profile to instantly see their roles, groups, and all their workspace access at a glance. You can also easily navigate between user profiles and connected groups, exploring relationships and ensuring everyone has exactly the right level of access to Ardoq assets. This significantly boosts your security and streamlines compliance audits, saving you valuable time.

And the best part? We're already building on this foundation for even more powerful control. Soon, you'll be able to adjust permissions across Ardoq assets in bulk. Ultimately, this leads to field-level granularity, giving you even more precise control over sensitive data and letting you manage exactly who can see or edit specific fields.

 


Seamless Access to Embedded Ardoq Content: Autologin

Blog Post Autologin

Sharing your insights should be seamless, not a roadblock. If you’ve ever embedded an Ardoq presentation in SharePoint or Confluence, only for colleagues to hit a frustrating login screen, you’ll love our new Autologin feature. Now, when users access embedded Ardoq content, they’re automatically logged in via SSO, providing instant, frictionless access. This boosts engagement with your valuable insights while maintaining enhanced data security, as only authenticated users can view the content.



A Centralized, Intuitive Way to Manage Your Data: Introducing Data Inventory (Closed Beta)

Blog Post - Data Inventory
 

Making sense of vast, complex architectural data has never been easier with our new Data Inventory. This new centralized, intuitive interface improves how you manage, browse, edit, and validate your data. It offers a familiar, tabular view and allows you to navigate your data by type or workspace. You can quickly filter, visualize, and save specific data subsets directly as reports, streamlining your workflows. Data inventory strictly adheres to your existing Ardoq permission model, ensuring you only see the applications and specific fields you're allowed to access or edit. Sensitive data can be hidden, ensuring robust data security and promoting secure collaboration.

Data Inventory is currently in closed beta. If you’re interested in testing this new functionality, please reach out to your Ardoq Representative. 

 

Make EA Work for Everyone: Intuitive Insights, Empowering Every Role

Enterprise Architecture insights should be accessible and actionable for everyone, from IT architects to business leaders. Our Q2 updates are designed to make Ardoq more intuitive, inclusive, and impactful for your entire organization.

 


Unlock Insights With Enhanced Reports and Dashboards

Blog Post - Dashboards
 

Tailoring reports and dashboards to meet the diverse needs of various stakeholders is now much easier. Our enhanced Reports and Dashboards empower you to create truly impactful insights with ease. Discover a new Filtering Sidebar for a cleaner, more intuitive interface, giving you precise control when adding or removing filters. More granular filter options allow you to fine-tune your reports and dashboards. Plus, you can use percentage trend indicators to instantly visualize progress and key metrics in number charts, driving clearer decision-making and broader engagement.

 

Connect Architecture to Action: Driving Real-World Impact

The real power of architecture shines when insights turn into tangible actions. Our Q2 innovations bridge the gap between your architectural understanding and real-world execution, ensuring your teams can align, adapt, and act with confidence.

 

Ardoq + Lucidchart: Dynamic Diagrams from Live Data 

Blog Post Lucidchart

Ever wish your diagrams would just update themselves? Our enhanced Lucidchart Integration transforms static visuals into dynamic diagrams that stay in sync with your live data. You can now effortlessly link Lucidchart diagrams to Ardoq components or generate fresh diagrams directly from Ardoq Viewpoints.

Best of all, our AI-Powered Importer seamlessly brings changes back into Ardoq Scenarios for comparison. This powerful AI interprets diagrams visually and semantically, automatically classifying shapes, inferring relationships, and converting even messy visuals into clean, usable architectural data. It's a smarter way to visualize and manage your EA.

 

Ardoq ShiftX: One Unified Platform for EA + Process 

Blog Post ShiftX

Connecting architecture to your business processes is essential for a holistic understanding, but often hindered by siloed tools. Ardoq ShiftX delivers AI-powered process modeling designed for enterprise-wide collaboration.

AI That Works Where You WorkBlog Post - AI

Artificial Intelligence isn’t just a buzzword at Ardoq. It’s a powerful layer woven into your day-to-day architecture work. Our Q2 AI investments are designed to remove complexity, speed up delivery, and make EA more accessible to everyone. 

Speed up your modeling with AI-powered Business Value Streams: No more starting from scratch. Instantly generate value streams, capability maps, and tailored value propositions directly from business context. AI helps you move faster, with more precision and less effort.

Talk to your architecture with the AI Gateway (MCP Server): Now in technical preview, Ardoq is the first EA platform to support the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This means you can ask questions like “What’s the downstream impact of removing Salesforce?” and get instant, structured answers—no modeling expertise required. Secure. Contextual. Conversational.

Turn diagrams and processes into clean, usable data: Our upgraded Lucidchart Integration now uses AI to recognize shapes, interpret structure, and transform visuals into living architecture. And with AI Process Modeling in Ardoq, you can go from a process diagram (or even a plain-text description) to a structured workflow in seconds. Less manual work. More insight.

The bottom line? We’re not building AI for the future, we’re delivering it for you to use today. From modeling and visualization to querying and process design, Ardoq’s AI helps you work smarter, not harder.
