Waltz

Your Enterprise Architecture Visible. Connected. Understood.

What is Waltz?

Question

Waltz is the open source platform that gives your organisation a living, connected map of the technology landscape: applications, data flows, people, capabilities and change initiatives in one place.

It helps leaders, architects, engineering teams and risk functions align decisions with evidence.

Why Architecture Decisions Stall

Scattered architecture data

Scattered & Stale

Architecture data lives in spreadsheets, disconnected tools and people's heads. By the time it's consolidated, it's already out of date.

Disconnected systems and navigation

Hard to Navigate

Finding how a business capability maps to applications, data flows and org units requires jumping between a dozen systems.

Incomplete topology

Compliance Risk

Regulatory programs like DORA, MiFID II and Basel require accurate application topology — but most firms can't produce it on demand.

Waltz Connects the Dots

A structured wiki for your architecture
open to everyone, enriched by everyone.

Integrated system flows

Living Architecture Map

Visualize your entire application estate and how every system connects, from logical data flows to physical implementations.

Business unit technology footprint

Org-to-App Compliance

Navigate from a business unit to its full technology footprint instantly — costs, capabilities, data sources and team ownership.

Data lineage and flows

Data Lineage & Golden Sources

Track upstream and downstream data flows across your entire organisation. Identify authoritative data sources and flag non-compliant consumers.

People and ownership view

Crowdsourced Accuracy

Empower every employee to contribute and correct architecture data. The best source of information about your landscape is the people who work in it.

Future state architecture

Roadmaps & Future State

Document planned application changes, retirements, and replacements. Align your technology roadmap with your strategy.

Assessment and data capture

Surveys & Assessments

Issue targeted questionnaires to application owners. Collect structured data for compliance programs, rationalization exercises, and audits.

Aggregated reporting

Custom Report Grids

Build powerful aggregated views. Slice your technology estate by any taxonomy, org unit, or data type — no SQL required.

Business unit technology footprint

KPI's and Metrics

Define and track your own architecture metrics. Measure the proportion of applications with golden source data, or the percentage of applications in scope for a regulatory program.

Integrated system flows

Integrates, Doesn't Replace

Waltz complements PowerDesigner, Archimate, Sparx and other EA tools. Aggregate data from your existing systems without ripping anything out.

Built for the Problems That Matter Most

01

Regulatory Compliance

Generate application topology reports required for DORA, MiFID II, BCBS 239 and other regulatory programs in minutes, not weeks.

Regulatory compliance topology
02

Application Rationalisation

Identify duplicated capabilities, legacy applications, and cost-saving consolidation opportunities across your entire estate.

Application portfolio grouping
03

Data Lineage & Governance

Track critical data flows from source to consumer. Define golden sources and measure compliance against them.

Data lineage flows
04

M&A and Transformation Programs

Quickly understand the technology landscape of acquired entities. Model future-state architectures for major programmes.
