Making Process Modeling Easier with Ardoq ShiftX

Process modeling is an essential but often complex task, requiring organizations to translate business needs into structured workflows that align with IT systems. With Ardoq ShiftX, we’re simplifying this process, reducing complexity, and increasing efficiency.

Ardoq ShiftX leverages AI to bridge the gap between business and IT, allowing users to describe processes in natural language. The AI converts these descriptions into structured workflows, linking them directly to enterprise architecture data within Ardoq. Whether you’re sketching out new processes or updating existing ones, your workflows remain accurate, actionable, and seamlessly connected to your IT landscape.

By making process modeling more accessible and automated, ShiftX enables faster decision-making, greater operational agility, and optimized resource allocation - all without requiring deep technical expertise.

Lucidchart + Ardoq: A Match Made in Diagramming Heaven

Enterprise architecture is most effective when it’s easy to visualize, communicate, and align across teams. That’s why we’re introducing a new Lucidchart integration, designed to connect freeform diagrams with structured EA data in Ardoq.

With this integration, teams can create and manage diagrams in Lucidchart while maintaining real-time synchronization with Ardoq’s structured data. This ensures that architects, business stakeholders, and IT leaders are all working with up-to-date, accurate information. Whether you’re mapping workflows, designing system architectures, or refining strategic roadmaps, this integration provides a more flexible and collaborative way to connect enterprise architecture data with the broader business strategy.

The Lucidchart integration will be launching soon in beta - stay tuned!

Strengthening Data Governance and Access Control

As organizations scale, data governance and security become even more critical. This quarter, we’ve introduced several updates that strengthen control, improve data integrity, and reduce risk.

One of the most impactful enhancements is Survey Response Approval, a new approval workflow that ensures data changes submitted via surveys are reviewed and approved by the right stakeholders before going live. This governance layer helps organizations maintain high-quality data and trust in their decision-making processes.

We’ve also enhanced the Ardoq Access Control, simplifying how administrators manage user roles, permissions, and group memberships. New restrictions on API token generation further strengthen security, reducing the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive data.

Additionally, our Audit Log enhancements make it easier to restore deleted components and references, ensuring that accidental deletions don’t disrupt operations or result in lost insights.

These updates give teams greater confidence in their data, ensuring governance is embedded into day-to-day workflows without creating bottlenecks.

Faster Insights with Smarter Analytics

Making informed, data-driven decisions is now easier with enhancements to dashboards and reporting in Ardoq. Our improved filtering options allow users to build dashboards more intuitively, reducing the time spent navigating complex reports.

We’ve also introduced report improvements, allowing users to rename report column headers for clearer communication. This makes it easier to present data in a way that aligns with different stakeholder needs, ensuring that reports are both accessible and actionable. These enhancements make it easier to surface the right insights for decision-makers, helping teams translate complex data into meaningful business actions.

Crafting Better Data Stories with Enhanced Visualizations

Enterprise architecture isn’t just about managing data - it’s about telling the right story to drive action. This quarter, we’ve introduced several visualization enhancements to make data storytelling clearer, more engaging, and more adaptable to different audiences.

The Block Diagram View has been completely refreshed, sporting a modernized experience with smoother interactions and improved clarity in how relationships between components are displayed. This makes it easier to communicate complex data dependencies to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

We’ve also introduced multi-label support, allowing multiple layers of information to be displayed in a single view. This feature enables teams to answer multiple business questions at once, ensuring that complex relationships are easily understood and presented in a meaningful way.

These updates help organizations present their enterprise architecture in a way that’s accessible, insightful, and aligned with strategic business goals.

Making Compliance Easier

Regulatory compliance remains a challenge for many organizations, but our new Compliance Assurance Solution makes it easier to manage and demonstrate adherence to industry regulations and standards.

Designed for highly regulated industries, this solution centralizes compliance efforts, automates key monitoring tasks, and simplifies reporting. Instead of juggling multiple tools and manual processes, teams can track and manage compliance in one place, ensuring they are always audit-ready.

By reducing manual effort and improving compliance visibility, organizations can lower costs, minimize risks, and allocate resources more effectively toward strategic initiatives.
