How it works

Three steps to well-governed architecture

Get started on day one

Import supported models or start manually

Load ArchiMate models in Open Exchange format or draw.io diagrams — with preview and validation — or build the initial repository directly in ArchPad.

Build a connected architecture model

Create objects, apply metamodel rules, and connect objects to make dependencies visible.

Assess change impact, portfolio health, and roadmaps

Use dependency graphs, dashboards, lifecycle data, and roadmap views to support architecture decisions.

Integrations

Bring architecture data into one model

Use supported file imports today and connect custom workflows through the REST API.

Supported imports and the REST API connect data to an architecture repository while planned sources remain pending

Open Exchange

Model import

Preview, validate, and import Open Exchange model files.

draw.io

Diagram import

Preview and import supported draw.io diagrams into a repository draft.

REST API

Custom workflows

Read and update architecture data through organization-scoped REST endpoints.

Issue trackers

Coming soon

Planned connectors for linking work items with architecture context.

Infrastructure and CMDB sources

Coming soon

Planned connectors for data from code repositories, delivery pipelines, runtime environments, and configuration systems.

Additional connectors

Coming soon

More connectors are on the way — look for the Coming soon label.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Answers to the main questions about ArchPad

A CMDB tracks IT infrastructure configuration, and documentation captures free-form descriptions. ArchPad is a structured architecture repository: it connects business capabilities, applications, interfaces, and technologies, shows the dependencies between them, and helps teams agree on architecture decisions. It complements your CMDB and documentation rather than replacing them.
