Referential Integrity

Information is captured in a powerful nature object-oriented repository.  Master definitions exist for all objects, and their associated attributes, and are leveraged when "referenced from" various diagrams or documents.  The visual representation of an object has no bearing on the underlying attributes of an object.  The repository is capable, at all times, of showing ALL uses and references to any specific modeling item or object.  The system automatically tracks when and who makes changes to repository objects.

Find errors early

Macro Level: See the outcome of changes before you make them. Model and analyze solutions before implementation, reducing costly trial and error.
Micro Level: Use Envision VIP's consistency checking features to minimize human error in the modeling process.

Model Metrics

Drawing an object with Envision VIP automatically includes it in any predefined calculation schema.  This simplifies the collection of accurate metrics when evaluating various proposed organizational changes.
