Case Study: Daktronics achieves fast ROI and rapid enterprise architecture implementation with erwin Evolve

Building an enterprise architecture practice with fast ROI thanks to erwin’s cloud-based solution

Daktronics, a Brookings, South Dakota–based maker of electronic LED displays, needed to build an enterprise architecture (EA) practice that could accurately capture the current state of its business, applications, infrastructure and data. After choosing ArchiMate to standardize modeling across domains, Daktronics evaluated EA tools and selected erwin Evolve by Quest as the vendor/product to deliver a cloud-hosted, configurable solution.

erwin implemented its cloud-hosted Evolve platform with a configurable metamodel and APIs to pull information from other systems, create and retrieve diagrams, and run impact analyses. The solution was up and running the same day and delivered measurable fast ROI—Daktronics saw success within the first week—providing clear insights into component dependencies, a reusable reference for analysts, architects and developers, and ongoing value through continued collaboration with erwin.
