Case Study: Plymouth University achieves improved IT and business outcomes with erwin Evolve by Quest

Delivers improved IT and business outcomes with web-based erwin® Evolve by Quest®

Plymouth University, the 15th largest university in the UK with about 27,000 students and 3,000 staff, faced a fragmented Enterprise Architecture practice that relied on disparate spreadsheets, diagrams, documents and databases. To centralize and rationalize their EA assets they chose erwin, selecting the web‑based erwin Evolve by Quest to organize information into a single repository.

Using the SaaS erwin Evolve, the team was up and running within a day, reused existing data to produce initial architecture models, and enabled collaborative, cross‑departmental access for immediate modeling and impact analysis. erwin’s solution delivered a centralized EA repository, faster reporting and analysis for senior decision‑makers, reduced business/IT complexity and costs, and improved agility and alignment between IT and overall university strategy.
