KnowEnterprise gives an insight
KnowEnterprise® is an enterprise-scale modelling environment that provides comprehensive support for Model Based Enterprise Engineering for business and IT users based on the Business Rules Approach. Built on a distributed multi-server/multi-client architecture, KnowEnterprise comprises of two individual packages, called KnowEnterprise/Business and KnowEnterprise/IT, that both work on the same repository. This common repository stores enterprise knowledge ranging from the business vision down to technical implementation details of enterprise IT systems in a highly integrated way.
