Archimate Diagramming Layers
HOPEX Archimate aims at providing architects with the core content of the ArchiMate standard whilst ensuring compatibility with the other HOPEX products and solutions.
Each layer is covered by a set of viewpoints diagrams describing the main objects of the layer, and the associated reports.
Business Layer viewpoints
The Business Layer viewpoints cover the description of organizations and their responsibilities, business functions and processes which provide business services to customers or other processes;
Business Layer viewpoints are compatible with HOPEX Business Process Analysis models and HOPEX Service Design service definition models.
