Sparx Systems
Prolaborate for Enterprise Architect Model Sharing & Collaboration
Prolaborate is a web-based platform that publishes your Sparx Enterprise Architect models for easy access, review, and collaboration, without requiring Enterprise Architect installation for stakeholders.
What is Sparx Systems Prolaborate
Prolaborate is the web-based collaboration and visualization layer for Sparx Systems Enterprise Architect. It helps you publish model content to a secure portal, so business and technical stakeholders can explore diagrams, understand impact, and contribute feedback without needing to install Enterprise Architect.
Why Use Prolaborate for Model Publishing and Governance
Even when the model is the source of truth, stakeholders often rely on slide decks, screenshots, and email threads. Sparx Systems Prolaborate brings stakeholders to the model through a secure web portal, so they can access the latest published views in their browser without waiting for screenshots or versioned documents.
Prolaborate bridges that gap by:
Role-based model views
Give each audience a guided path through the model, with only the details they need.
Decision-ready dashboards
Turn repository data into interactive charts and drill-down views that highlight status, coverage, and impact.
Structured reviews & feedback
Capture comments, issues, and approvals in one place, directly against the published content.
Governed sharing & access
Control what is published and who can see it, supporting traceable decisions and audit-friendly collaboration.
Ready to make your models accessible?
If you want Prolaborate to be more than a "view-only portal," we can help you design the right stakeholder views, governance process, and rollout plan.
Everything Your Team Needs to Collaborate Effectively
Prolaborate brings together the tools, workflows, and insights that transform how enterprises approach collaborative architecture modeling.
Publish curated views to a secure web portal
Publish selected packages, diagrams, and model content to a browser-based portal. Stakeholders can find the right view quickly and navigate from high-level context to the underlying details when they need it.
- Browser-based model access: View architecture content from any device without installing Enterprise Architect.
- Package-level publishing: Selectively publish only the packages and diagrams that matter to each audience.
- High-level to detail navigation: Start with an overview and drill down to specific diagrams and elements.
- Secure stakeholder portal: Provide governed access through a centralized, permission-controlled web portal.
Build Enterprise Architect dashboards for instant insight
Turn repository content into decision-ready, interactive architecture dashboards using heatmaps, charts, and matrices. Stakeholders can start with an overview and drill down to diagrams and elements to validate impact and coverage.
- Interactive heatmaps & charts: Visualize model data through dynamic charts, heatmaps, and matrix views.
- Drill-down to diagrams: Navigate from dashboard summaries directly into the underlying model elements.
- Impact & coverage validation: Assess completeness and identify gaps across architecture domains.
- Decision-ready views: Present stakeholders with actionable insights without requiring modeling expertise.
Manage Enterprise Architect model reviews and approvals
Bring review cycles into a shared workspace where stakeholders comment directly on published content for architecture reviews and discussions. Track progress and outcomes without losing context across email threads and disconnected documents.
- In-context commenting: Add comments and feedback directly on published model content.
- Approval workflows: Route architecture artifacts through structured review and sign-off processes.
- Progress tracking: Monitor review status and outcomes in a single, shared workspace.
- Centralized review history: Maintain a complete audit trail of all discussions and decisions.
Apply role-based access and governed publishing
Share the right level of detail with the right audience using role-based access and controlled publishing. This keeps sensitive information protected while still enabling collaboration across teams and partners.
- Role-based permissions: Assign view, edit, or admin access based on each user's role and responsibilities.
- Controlled publishing: Decide exactly which content is visible to which audience.
- Sensitive data protection: Keep confidential architecture information restricted to authorized users.
- Cross-team collaboration: Enable partners and external stakeholders to participate without exposing the full model.
Share live reports with consistent, up-to-date views
Reduce rework by standardizing how model information is shared and presented across teams. Instead of relying on static screenshots, stakeholders can reference the latest published views for meetings and ongoing decision-making.
- Always up-to-date views: Published content refreshes automatically as the underlying model evolves.
- Standardized presentations: Ensure consistent formatting and structure across all shared reports.
- Real-Time Insights: Replace outdated exports with live, interactive model views.
- Meeting-ready reports: Share direct links to current architecture views for reviews and decision meetings.
